Oct 22, 2008 at 12:04 AM by deathbringer (Source: Lambgoat).
Candiria guitarist John LaMacchia has issued an update regarding the latest happenings in the Candiria camp:
"First off, at the end of this year the first of a 4 volume series of remix/interpretations 12" LP's will be released on my own label, Rising Pulse Records. This series will be called 'Toying With The Insanities.' With contributions from artists such as Dub Trio, Dalek, Kayo Dot, Pole, Navicon Torture Technologies, Friendly Bears, Rocky George... yeah, that's right, Rocky George from Suicidal Tendencies.
"This will be a limited edition release only available on vinyl which will come with a free MP3 download for those of you without a record player. There will only be 250 of each volume pressed so these things are going to fly outta here like hotcakes out of a white trash Waffle House wedding.
"Second, 'Kiss The Lie' is a dead issue. Hate to say it, but consider it as such. We tried, I'm sorry! I personally tried so freakin hard. Believe me, it ain't happening. Sorry fans. There is a light at the end of that dark hopeless tunnel though...
"There has been talk of new recordings, new ideas, possibly new releases in the not so distant future. So, with that being stated, keep your eye on [our Myspace] because we are moving forward! This series of remixes and interpretations is for the true Candiria fans that understand that when you are truly a Candiria fan. Expect the unexpected, but expect to be pleasantly surprised. Stay tuned folks. We are back on track... officially."

CANDIRIA To Release Four-Volume Set Of Rarities And Remixes - July 1, 2009
Brooklyn's jazzed-infused-metal experimentalists CANDIRIA are back and once again ready to cross the lines of convention as they release a four-volume set of rarities and remixes, "Toying With The Insanities". Volumes one and two of "Toying With the Insanities" will be made available on September 9 on Rising Pulse Records, while the final two volumes are slated for an early 2010 release. All four volumes will be issued digitally via iTunes, Amazon and other digital retailers, while 1,000 limited CDs of Volume One and 300 limited LPs of Volume Two will be pressed.
"Toying With The Insanities" marks the band's first release since March 2009's "Kiss The Lie" which was delayed two years due to constraints with the band's previous label. After numerous speed bumps, "Kiss The Lie" was released on a small scale, without the assistance of a major label.
The remixed tracks on "Toying With The Insanities" were taken from CANDIRIA's first three albums and will feature contributions from underground, eclectic acts such as DALEK, DUB TRIO, GHOSTS OF THE CANAL, KAYO DOT and members of THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN, FISHBONE, PEEPING TOM and more.
"This is something that [frontman] Carley Coma and I have discussed for a few years and since I now have my own label and CANDIRIA officially owns the rights to the first three releases, we decided to put the series out," comments CANDIRIA guitarist John Lamacchia.
"Toying With The Insanities Volume One" track listing:
01. Divided (Remixed by Dub Trio with Joel Hamilton)
02. Faction (Remix by Edgey)
03. Pages (Revisitation by Kayodot)
04. Tribes (Remix by Budzy)
05. Conjuring Spirits (Performed by Ghosts of the Canal)
06. Mental Crossover (Remix by Pole)
07. Three Times Again (Remixed by HighKoo and Mr.Delaroid)
08. Spectator (Performed by Ken Schalk)

Metal Sucks
CANDIRIA, GENRE PIONEERS

Thanks to Metal Injection for buying me whiskey last night and for reminding me how cool Candiria were/are. Sure, there are some cringe-worthy rap moments in this song, but it’s not like they were following a trend — they created the trend. And mixed in with all the other genre-pushing elements of their music, it makes a whole lot more sense what Candiria were trying to do: something different. I’d love to see these guys do a show in a small club in Brooklyn some time soon; how ’bout it, guys?
