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 – steveperlmutter.net), please visit: decibelmagazine.com

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.”

See below for all dates.

Candiria tour dates
Jan. 19 – Baltimore, MD – Ottobar
Jan. 20 – Trenton, NJ – Backstage at Championship
Jan. 21 – Amityville, NY – Amityville Music Hall
Jan. 22 – Boston, MA – Great Scott

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 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”.

CANDIRIA and MetalInjection.net have teamed up to premiere the video for “The Whole World Will Burn”, which is taken from the band’s new record, While They Were Sleeping (out now via Metal Blade Records). While They Were Sleeping is 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 the clip, comprised of black and white, slice-of-life footage culled from the band’s NYC Five-Borough “World Tour,” which took place during release week in early October, please visit: metalinjection.net

“The Whole World Will Burn” was filmed by Metal Injection’s Frank Godla. “Growing up in the music scene of Brooklyn, New York throughout the ’90s, Candiria have always held a special place in my heart as hometown heroes, and continue to today,” Godla comments. “Beyond their amazing talents as musicians and songwriters, they’re a band that inspires change, promotes acceptance, conquers barriers, and are some of the nicest guys I’ve ever had the pleasure of calling friends. It’s an honor and a privilege to work with them once again, in the form of a music video shot during their Five-Borough Tour. The run was truly something special to watch as a longtime fan from NYC, and creating it was as easy as watching them play five shows in a row…something I don’t mind doing every day!”

CANDIRIA‘s Michael MacIvor (bass) comments:“The Candiria Five-Borough Tour was an idea conceived by our team many months before our record came out. We wanted to give a little payback to all of our fans located in the boroughs. They have been traveling to see us for years. So we wanted to go to them this time. And we had an amazing time doing it. The people in these under-served markets were so happy and grateful for us coming to them. That it really was an experience the band will cherish forever.
We think that the video for ‘The Whole World Will Burn’ truly captured the vibe of a band from NYC. And how we interact with our people. Frank Godla did a great job. He is from NYC and a fan of the band. So he was able to capture everything we wanted. Frank is someone that we love working with, because first and foremost, he is a friend. He gets the band. He gets our vibe. And he knows what we want without us having to explain things in depth.”
