Candiria
Candiria has been an original and genre-redefining band for some
time now, their core sound combining elements of
metal, fusion/jazz, rap, and hardcore,
to form a highly distinctive and intense sound.
They're really all over the map musically, though from a metallic
standpoint their early material bears resemblance to past
fusion/metal bands such as
Cynic
and
Red Tide ,
though Carley Coma's numerous vocal styles alone distances this
band from merely being a fusion metal band.
In addition to the usual trials and tribulations of being in a
band, they survived a near-fatal van crash in 2002
(the event is commemorated by the album title and cover of their
2004 release,
What Doesn't Kill You ).
