Mike Vorpal's "House of Capricorn", where dark wave meets guitar fury

Mike Vorpal has a gift for finding emo cool with day-glowed storytelling, creating soundscapes you can wander around in long after the song has stopped, and his new single, "House of Capricorn," is no exception. From the opening guitar note, you are drawn into a world of dark wave flair mixed with a palpable guitar energy that's at once introspective and head-bopping. Mike Vorpal shows himself here as a forward-thinking artist not afraid to visit the sound's darker recesses and uncovers some raw, guitar-driven energy. 

It's an example of Vorpal's unique skill at weaving textures that are both expansive and intimate. Synthy layers make an interwoven web amongst tight, dirty guitar variations to give that sense of suspense and keep you on the edge of your seat. But amid all this drama, there's a hushed openness in Vorpal's vocals, a pensive undertow that suggests stories unshared and feelings unvoiced.

"House of Capricorn" doesn't just command attention, it merits it. With each listen, new shades unveil themselves, whether in the quiet instability of its instrumental movements or haunting twists on melody that ring out long after the track has dissipated. It's a song that invites reflection without abrogating the thrill of adventure, a balance few artists achieve with such delicate grace. House of Capricorn is proof that Vorpal knows how to create art
