There’s a lot of bands that never get their proper due, and it seems that I tend to find myself a fan of many of them – bands that sometimes disappear for a bit, and then return. HELMET, FAITH NO MORE, PRONG – all of those fit that bill, and now we can add CANDIRIA to that mix. A genre-bending Brooklyn band that melded metal, jazz, funk – even hip-hop elements into their sonic mix, it was a horrific van crash that changed everything. Now, they’ve signed to Metal Blade Records and will release their first album since 2009 next year.
With the announcement comes a new Candiria mini-documentary from Metal Injection that “gives fans a glimpse of the current state of the band, and also reflects on the events that led them to this new chapter. The video serves as a perfect introduction for the uninitiated, as well as a fresh take for old fans.” Watch the video now:
Definitely a record I’ll seriously be looking forward to. Stay tuned…
