Brooklyn’s own Candiria have partnered with DecibelMagazine.com to bring you the new video for « Wandering Light« , another powerful track off their new record While They Were Sleeping – a concept album conceived by the band’s lead vocalist Carley Coma that tells the tale of a failed musician who rises up against a monarchy in New York City. To watch « Wandering Light » (filmed at Spaceman Sound and directed by Steve Perlmutter – www.steveperlmutter.net), please visit: http://decibelmagazine.com/blog/2016/12/15/candiria-release-live-video-announce-east-west-coast-tour-dates
John LaMacchia (guitar) comments: « ‘Wandering Light‘ is one of my favorite songs off of the new album so I am very happy it was included in the live, Spaceman Sound Studio sessions. This version of the song includes an additional musical section that I feel adds another layer of excitement to the performance. »
‘Wandering Light‘ encapsulates the quintet’s startling chemistry, as churning brutality morphs seamlessly into a brief, jazz interlude and back again, the whole thing sounding like nothing else on Earth: brave, smart, adventurous and joyously contrary to mainstream metal’s current creative inertia. But then Candiria were this brilliant 20 years ago too. Wake up, folks: herein lies genius. » – Metal Hammer (UK)
Fresh off a successful North America headline tour in support of the album, Candiria will head back out on the road again this upcoming January/February. « Candiria is extremely excited to get back on the road for the upcoming regional dates that we have scheduled, » asserts John LaMacchia (guitar). « The band has been getting acquainted with both new and old material that we are looking forward to incorporating in our live set. »

Since their inception in 1992, Candiria has been lauded for their ability to mesh decidedly different styles in a seamless way. They were named one of the « 10 Most Important Bands in Metal » by Rolling Stone back in 1999 (http://www.rollingstone.com/music/features/metal-the-next-generation-19990204) for consistently releasing music that challenges listeners, thrills critics, and – most importantly – attracts a legion of dedicated, diehard fans. Their latest album, While They Were Sleeping, continues that legacy, with Pitchfork.com hailing the band as one of « the most convincingly flexible acts that metal and hardcore have ever seen ».
