The Murder Capital: It’s Not What You Think

“We don't give a shit what anyone outside the band, our close family and friends, and our team think." These are the sentiments of James McGovern, the frontman of Irish rock group The Murder Capital, and his bandmates.

Especially when it comes to what their music represents.

The soundtrack for “Doom” is widely celebrated as perfectly encapsulating this feeling, exactly as its composer Mick Gordon had intended.
