Candiria are back, and this reunion is no joke, people! “Invaders,” the first new Candiria track in six years, is seriously fucking beastly. It starts with a jazzy, saxophone-led intro before a thick, meaty vintage Candiria riff fades in and Carley Coma’s trademarked growl does the same… and then it’s ON. All the hallmarks of Candiria are here: tight grooves, odd time changes, jazzy interludes, bizarre instrumental breaks, catchy hooks. And it all wraps up with a complete psychedelic freakout. Man, it’s great to have these guys back to show all the up-and-comers in the suddenly burgeoning fusion-metal scene how it’s done.

The Invaders EP comes out on April 29th via Giant MKT and can be ordered here. Be sure to get your copy right away — there are only 500 copies of the 7″ being pressed, 100 each of five different colors — and they’re gonna sell out right quick.
