Captives are back and with more crushing heaviness than ever. Afterimage, Captives’ second release, features powerfully atmospheric guitar work, intoxicating melodic harmonies, brooding drum beats, and crushingly emotional vocals from dual-vocalists Jeffery Mudgett and Trevor Bookout.
These five new tracks showcase the growth and evolution Captives has accomplished as a promising band on the rise and further builds the theme established on their 2012 EP, My Eyes Are Open. An afterimage is a visual image retained after looking at something vivid, an image you can still see after you’ve turned away or closed your eyes. Even after minutes the illusion will remain if the image was distinct enough. Afterimage represents still seeing and feeling those things that are no longer with us, when only an impression remains.

lyrics
The stench is rancid on my lips
They're stained from you
Can't come clean like they used to
The light is closing in
Can't stand the person that I've been
It's blinding me
I still can't breathe when you're around me
(or) see when you're around me
I can break his name
Watch it all fade
The city we have built
The sweat and blood spilt
I would throw it all away, for you, anything
I can mend this truth or I can leave it up to you
But if you light it I will watch it burn
Don't depend on me, oh the sweet irony
As if I could actually, depend on you
I can't take this back
Though I wish I could
If you could only see, the things inside of me
They will destroy everything
What you see is what you get
My head held high, filled with regret
I know this is bridge was built to break
I hope you're there when it falls
I'm the only one who treads upon
You can watch as I lose it all
I've got my veins all crossed
I've never been this so far gone
Just know I want to leave
But I know you need me
I can mend this truth or I can leave it up to you
But if you light it I will watch it burn
Don't depend on me, oh the sweet irony
As if I could actually, depend on you
I don't want your excuse, its about me
If you'd prefer somewhere else, by all means
I bet you'd like me to sing, so softly
In the morning you wake, what a fantasy
You're scarabs in my skin
You are my crimson stain
Feed from me you sheep
I'll scream it in your face
Until every ounce
Of your body shakes
Tear me apart you sheep
I'll scream it in your face
