Candiria

What Doesn’t Kill You

WOW! I guess that accident changed this band in more ways than one. Candiria has taken an entirely new direction to songwriting and I love it. Still retaining some of Candiria old they manage to bring in a completely new level of melody that creates these intricate textures. It’s still heavy but reminding me of A Perfect Circle at times. Candiria have never shied away from dynamics and ethereal themes but the vocals have definitely caught up. Carley does an exceptional job switching from a growl to melody to rhyme slayer. The Reggae hip-hop jam, “9MM” featuring Capital “S”, Q-Sean, and Carley is on point.

There’s something in here for everyone.

Candiria have been sludging along for years, never getting the recognition they most certainly deserved. Open up a little and let them blow you the fuck away. (Type A)
