Even their love songs feel extreme.\" - Pitchfork CANDY return with their new album, It's Inside You. A brazen take on hardcore, metal, and disparate electronics and experimental soundscapes, It's Inside You sees CANDY take another step forward with a compelling, extreme, and one-of-a-kind take on the genre. From the frenzied album opener \"eXisTenZ\", CANDY's intent is clear; It's Inside You kicks off as violently as possible. Cited as thriving in \"this jumble of gothic industrial and digitized metal\" by Pitchfork, the single minute, thirty-second track twists and turns as a contorted thesis statement for what will follow. Tracks like \"Dehumanize Me\" continue this trend, establishing an interplay between ferocious hardcore stomps helmed by guitarist Michael Quick, with pulse-pounding, electronic rhythms set against this monstrous riffing. \"Dreams Less Sweet\" crashes and bashes onto the record, while vocalist Zachary Quiram mourns the modern condition: \"dreams laid dead\/stuck grieving\/how do you fight the feeling?\/are we living in a world just to die?\" Elsewhere on the record, tracks like \"Love Like Snow\" showcase a different side of the band. Electronic, mechanical melodies are set against desperate cries for human connection. It's Inside You flexes more than just muscular Hardcore brutality. \"Dancing to the Infinite Beat\" and \"Hypercore\" also see raw emotion laid bare against frenetic, electronic punishment before crescendoing into cathartic, ear-worm choruses. With It's Inside You, CANDY signals the future for what Hardcore, Metal, and Electronics can truly be.

The critically acclaimed band is poised to break past the conventions of metal, hardcore, and punk with one of 2022's most extreme and unique records. \u003ci\u003eHeaven Is Here\u003c\/i\u003e puts together so many disparate elements with the confidence and care to graft their relativities together under what sounds like extreme duress. Candy specifically strives to replicate moments of impact and anxiety, obsessive compulsive thinking, and extreme cynicism - aiming to provide the listener with an aural journey that allows for an outlet for these overwhelming feelings. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlazing opener \"Human Condition Above Human Opinion\" and the aptly titled \"World of Shit\" sound outright violent. Elsewhere, tracks such as \"Transcend to Wet\" transport the record into new spaces - displaying the band in a completely different light. Ebbs and flows of harsh noise collide with elements of electronic music making it clear that Candy is a beast of its own. Speaking directly to their incorporation of electronic elements in \u003ci\u003eHeaven is Here\u003c\/i\u003e, it’s not so much that Candy insists on progression, but that they will not accept regression. Heaven is Here proves to be a record where the songs feel like a merciful reprieve from the screeching interludes; a masterful almanac of noise welded together by the unpredictable ways that we hear and reproduce the music we love in the era of unending dopamine hits and virulent technological doom.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Relapse","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50476594626891,"sku":"1156588","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50476595118411,"sku":"1154499","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/f254e334-5df7-4804-a30d-c102e2ab805c_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727461244"},{"product_id":"flipping","title":"Flipping","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003eCandy’s \u003cspan\u003esecond album of 2024 is their most potent release yet. Returning to Triple B Records, the definitive DIY hardcore label of the 2010s and beyond, FLIPPING is a shocking blend of sounds at once old-school and never before heard.
