Description
Hailing from Brooklyn, New York, Candiria is one of the precursors of the mathcore genre. Formed in 1992 by vocalist Carley Coma, guitarists Chris Puma and Eric Matthews, and drummer/bassist/keyboardist/trumpeter Kenneth Schalk, the band was part of the second wave of New York hardcore, but subsequently expanded its performance to also play jazz, hip hop and progressive rock.
300 Percent Density is Candirias fourth studio album, originally released by Century Media in 2001. Critically praised for its experimental mix of metal, jazz, hip-hop, and hardcore, the albums intricate arrangements and adventurous sound have made it a classic, stated by fans and critics as the bands best work to date. The 25-year-old album is available on wax again in April 2026 via Svart Records.
Candiria have always beenand remaina favorite among the groups peers, because musicians already possess the vocabulary to understand the intricacy of the bands arrangements and the tireless care and craft that went into perfecting them. Like the Dillinger Escape Plan and Converge, Candiria pressed hard to break through the monoculture of metals awkward transitional years and pave the way for similarly experimental bands. -Decibel Magazine
