Since Dead Air was calling it quits, and happened to rehearse in the same studio as Candiria, they asked John to join, and he did. Candiria had to let him go.Ĭandiria then recruited friend John Lamacchia, who was in a band called Dead Air. The Candiria line-up was forced to make change when Chris Puma became impatient with the bass situation, and for some unknown personal reasons, left the band. Candiria continued to play live shows, but the low end was missing and it just wasn't right.yet. The second album Beyond Reasonable Doubt was created with the same line-up, and on this album, the bass lines were executed by Eric, and Ken. The hard work and unique vision was beginning to get recognized. The first album, Surrealistic Madness was originally warranted to be a demo also, but the band had generated a good enough buzz at that point to interest Too Damn Hype records in releasing their music. The band had too much momentum to start looking for a fourth bass player. demo to fans and bands as well as sending it off to various record companies, rock venues and management and booking agencies. They had been playing around the city for the past year and gave out about 300 or 400 copies of their Subliminal. It was winter 1994 and the band just watched their 3rd bassist leave and decided to go on without one. Candiria had 2 bass players after Matt left in the spring of 1992. One of them being the issue of a bass player. From that, the song was to be like a beautifully written novel-an introduction leading to a well defined, in-depth and expansively informative body that brings you smoothly and excitingly through the conclusion and off to the back cover for the "about the author." It would take many years of pain staking labor and commitment to pull this off.Ĭandiria was growing musically, and had the impetus to move forward but faced a few hurdles. The center point or foundation, of course, was the consistent element of DANCEABLE MUSIC. Inspired from all directions, Candiria was ready to hit the laboratory and experiment with a new musical formula. All five of them were seriously focused on changing the face of heavy music. In a rehearsal studio, Eric Mathews, Chris Puma, Carley Coma, Kenneth Schalk and original bassist Matt Holt come together week after week to dictate the beginnings of what they understand to be music. "Have you ever successfully tried to follow one of their songs? I can almost do it but there's always that one bastard riff in every song that I can't get! And obviously you're here to learn more about the band, so I'll stop rambling now and give you some meat about the Brooklyn quintet. For a bit of a trip down memory lane of hardcore-on-the-internet prior to unlimited bandwidth, pay your respects to his work right here. Mad respect to him for keeping the tradition alive for as long as he did. In order to cover the band's process of self-development up until this point in their career, I'm going to switch over to a biography written up by some guy who, up until 2007, ran the Angelfire-hosted Candiria fan page.

I didn't get into Candiria until around 1999 whenever the band released their Process Of Self.Development full length on the infamous MIA Records (ironic label name). Candiria, to this day, remains as the one-and-only band in which I prepared my mosh for prior to attending their shows. I specifically remember getting caught in my own mosh on at least 5 different occasions during their set due to their fucked-up time signatures that I did not know existed at the time. However, as a 15 year old kid who thought double kick drums were the end-all-be-all of heavy music, my mind was quite perplexed by the shit Candiria was bringing to the table. Looking back now, as a musician, it all makes quite a bit of sense. but none of that seemed as crazy after Candiria combined jazz with death metal. Sure, I had heard the thrashing of Slayer, every Kirk Hammet solo, the hardest breakdowns known to man on Satisfaction Is The Death Of Desire. While I still jam those bands quite frequently, my musical perspective was completely fucked the first time I saw Candiria. At the time I had my standard education in metal through my mastery of Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax, Megadeth, and Testament (always the big 5 in my head at the time) supplemented by the hardcore likes of Hatebreed, Sworn Enemy, Mushmouth and bands of that nature. I remember seeing Candiria when I first started going to shows.
