Ok, so this isn't the
normal Candiria record, but in all seriousness can you ever
really call any one of their records a normal Candiria
record? The band goes thru several different types of
changes on each album, constantly attempting to evolve
into the stage of metal for years to come. The title of the
records holds a 'lil more meaning this time around, as last
winter while on tour the band was within inches of death...
literally. The album cover is a picture of the van that got
destroyed in the accident. But I really think this would
have been the natural progress for the band to take, whether
that event took place or not. The band still have their
signature guitar lines, stop-start odd timing riffs,
and Carley's huge vox, (like his hovering over you screaming
"revolution, evolution" in your ear). A lot of people might
think Candiria is selling out on this record, and that talk
is straight up bullshit. Just 'cause you decide to sing on
a record and have a 'lil bit of melody doesn't mean you
sold out. This is one of the best things to come out of
Hardcore in the last couple of years. Tracks like "The
Nameless King" has a bit of the In Flames/At the Gates feel
to it, but done Candiria style. Plus it's one of the most
amazing tracks on here. When I got the record I listened to
that track alone 15-20 times. Tracks like that, and "Remove
Yourself", "Down", "Dead Bury the Dead", and "1000 Points
of Light" are all in the same vein. Great melody and feeling,
just pulsating from speakers. The chorus is huge on each track.
Tracks like "Blood" are true to form old school Candiria
style hardcore, minus a lot of the jazz on here. But
Candiria weren't about pigeon hole themselves, that's why
they orginally added jazz, rap, and blues to harcore in the
first place. Don't Miss the Evolution of Heavy Music go get
this.
