We've heard hints of possible new music from Spylacopa, the experimental group headed by Candiria guitarist John LaMacchia featuring Greg Puciato of The Dillinger Escape Plan, Julie Christmas of Made Out of Babies and Jeff Caxide of Isis, and now we can actually sample some of it. The band has posted a one minute teaser [...]

Click Here To Watch The Video When we interviewed members of Candira last year, they seemed to leave the door open to the possibility of recording new music together, even though the band officially broke up a few years ago. Well, according to a recent posting on their Facebook page, the gears are definitely in [...]

By Ben Apatoff JULIE CHRISTMAS could sing a bus schedule and make it sound compelling. On The Bad Wife, her solo debut, she roars, wails, coos, shrieks and croons with more guts and versatility than any singer this side of CHRIS CORNELL, making every lyric matter in a way that metal records almost never do. [...]

By Ben Apatoff Decked out in band posters (some signed) featuring an array of metal gods and cult heroes, the Lucky 13 Saloon in Brooklyn is as close as New York gets to having a metal museum. Then again, how many museums host DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN CD release parties, SKELETONWITCH video shoots and the best [...]

You owe it to yourself to either check out or revisit CANDIRIA, one of the most inventive and underrated bands in metal recently. New music from these guys is scarce, which is all the more reason why I'm majorly pumped for Candiria: A Process of Self Development, a film about the band due in 2010 [...]

Being a drummer myself, I'd have to admit I tend to hone in on his business more so than the rest of the band. It's a well known saying that "the drummer can make or break any band", but there is a lot more to it than hitting things as fast as you can to [...]

CANDIRA – Elevate in Madness My first experience with Candiria was while I was waiting for a bus home on the way from high school, when Carly Coma approached me upon rocking out with head phones on, to hand me a Candira business card. This was of course pre- internet days when face to face [...]

15 years after their last studio release, a famously elusive metal metal band with an enormously influential debut has followed up. That's right, boys and girls, it's the rabidly anticipated comeback album from…Cynic. On 1993's Focus, some Florida-based musicians (including guitarist Paul Masvidal and drummer Sean Reinart, both formerly of Death) demolished four or five [...]

Bring Me The Horizon – Suicide Season (Epitaph) Britain's fast-rising metalcore kids recorded their Epitaph debut with producer Fredrik Nordstrom (Dimmu Borgir, In Flames, Opeth.) They're promoting Suicide Season with a headlining tour of the US and UK, [...]

SPYLACOPA began as an obscure ambient-electronic side-project for Brooklyn-based CANDIRIA guitarist John LaMaccia, but after accruing a band of notables – namely Greg Puciato of DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN, Jeff Caxide of ISIS, and Julie Christmas of MADE OUT OF BABIES – the project was bound to gain momentum. Judging by the sounds of the new [...]

While no well-versed metalhead would ever consider the ambient sounds of SPYLACOPA to be "metal" by any stretch of the imagination, there are good reasons why news of a debut release from a band that unites members from so many noteworthy metal bands to be of importance. Although this slowly developing project has been Brooklyn-based [...]

ZONARIA has posted a medley of their upcoming album, “Infamy and the Breed” at their MySpace page. The album will be released September 4th in North America through Pivotal Recordings. Finnish band BLADESMITH has posted the song, titled “Battle on Ice and Snow”, at the Dungeons Deep record label site. The song comes from their [...]
