New Single "Same Old Story" hits 9/1! Release the Captive started 2020 by dropping their debut EP “Awakened by the Storm,” introducing fans to the genre-bending style of the Austin, Texas product. The new year also saw the band part ways with original singer Tim Olivares, opening the door for Martin Ledesma to lend his aggressive swagger to the mix. The band hopes to showcase the new lineup with new material in the coming months. They are currently writing a new album set for an early 2021 release date.
Release the Captive formed in the summer of 2018 to make a splash in the local, metal scene. What started as jam sessions between friends in the quiet suburbs of Austin soon became a call to arms. Answering the call were Adam Delgado (guitar), his brother Carlos Delgado (bass) and Mike Mahoney (drums). Led by driving, angular riffs and an aggressive rhythm section, the group embrace their early 2000’s hardcore and metalcore roots, blending them with a taste for the progressive.
