300 Percent Density
(Century Media - 2001)


The first album of the Brooklyn-based band quintet were released in 1995 and is called Surrealistic Madness, now with their fourth album they get the first chance to release outside the USA. What to expect from Candiria? A very unusual mixture of metal, hardcore, jazz and hip-hop! The earlier albums got air play at College Radio stations and reviews at daily newspapers and magazines like The New York Times, L.A. Weekly, Alternative Press, Metal Edge, etc. That the band is very talented and can play the stuff live they proofed on several tours and soon the word of mouth got spread around the world!
This is a band you will love or hate! So check them out! The track Constant Velocity Is As Natural As Being At Rest presents this outstanding mixture best!

300 Percent Density
(Century Media - 2001)


Huu, this album is nerve-wrecking! Nobody needs this heavy to consume mixture of hip hop, jazz and hardcore elements and what else they included. The right to exist... Well, 300 Percent Density sounds like Candiria took all these elements put them in the melting pot, stirred it up and recorded it.
Sorry guys, but not my cup of tea! In my opinion this CD should be trashed!
