Today, CANDY celebrates their signing to Relapse Records with the release of Super-Stare. The two-track 7″ offers a glimpse into the critically acclaimed band’s pulverizing take on the genre ahead of their highly anticipated full-length.
CANDY comments: “Super-Stare is agoraphobia rather than claustrophobia. The ultimate trip; the song is a journey into a testing ground in which each living thing tries every day not to be eaten. As it unravels, the listener grows oppressed by the great weight of the music around them and gradually loses confidence in orderly civilization.”
Super-Stare is a synthesis of where aggressive music should be. Hardcore has reached a crossroads with Metal, a place where lyrical discourse and impassioned screaming is as important as the memorable riffs and pounding rhythms highlighting CANDY’s music.
CANDY begins their Fall US tour with Knocked Loose next week, joining the run October 1st through November 10th. The band will then support Ghostemane for 5 dates from November 12th through the 17th.
