Ray Cappo has been releasing powerful and inspiring music in the

alternative/punk/hardcore music scene for 20 years. His life changing music

and message has given him legendary status in the underground music

community. What he's created has had a ripple effect that has literally

created movements with dedicated followers, spin-off bands, as well as

committed fanzines. He was one of the earliest proponents of clean living,

spirituality and vegetarianism in a punk music scene that was not so

spiritual and not so clean.

Because of this he created controversy and

sparked debate where ever went. He also created loyal followers and devoted

fans, who have up and changed their lives because of his heartfelt lyrics

and message. At a time when kids were reaching out for some substance in

life or looking for answers, Ray provided the healthy alternative. Now at

age 40, he's married with a family and teaching yoga, nutrition and wellness

in Los Angeles.

Living with very similar values but speaking to a completely

parallel community, Ray has indulged his old fans with a lost CD. Songs he

had written but had never recorded- until now. ETERNAL a new 11 song CD

(Goodlife Recordings) catches more great songs that were sitting in Ray's

mind but never released.

10 new songs and a remake of Quest for

Certaintity the title track of his 1991 offering. Eternal delivers more

inspiring lyrics. A glimpse into the brain of a guy that has influenced and

bulldozed a path for so many, toured the world over (& over), released

spoken words cd's, written books, created ground breaking record labels, and

represented order, progression and a positive voice in a music scene that

leans towards chaos.



With the help of Ken Olden on guitar (Better than a 1000, Damnation AD and

Battery) and Dave DiCenso the drum professor who played on other Shelter

classics as Mantra (Roadrunner 1996), Beyond Planet Earth (Roadrunner

1997), The Purpose the Passsion (Century Media 2001) the music becomes

formidable. The entire production shines with the assistance of engineer/producer Chad J. Hughes who is an award winning Sound Designer for feature film and television. His production company Resolution Media is based in Los Angeles and is currently developing up and coming artists.



Eternal is another great chapter in Ray's career.
