Candiria - Original Guitarist Passed Away
In the wake of Candiria's latest release, "Toying With The Insanities", current members of the band have heard the sad news that original Candiria guitarist, Chris Puma, passed away last week, on September 20th.
The band has issued the following statement: "Chris Puma died on September 20th 2009. The cause is not known to us, as his family did not speak of it. He leaves behind two children, 3 year old Aislinn A'marie and a 4 month old Aidan Todd. Chris was a great friend to the founding members of the band, and a respected musician among his friends and peers. He was a kind and gentle person and he will be missed."
Puma was one of the founding members of the band, playing guitar in Candiria from 1992 to 1997, while helping to create the unique sound that Candiria is known for today. He can be heard on such Candiria records as "Deep In The Mental" (1995) and "urrealistic Madness" (1995).
The wait is over. New York’s experimental metalers, Candiria, have finally posted a track off their highly anticipated four-volume set of rarities and remixes, 'Toying With the Insanities', on the their official MySpace page (www.myspace.com/candiria). The remixed version of “Faction” is now available for streaming, and will be available on the first volume of the set to be released with ‘Volume Two’ on September 9th through Rising Pulse Records. 'Toying With the Insanities' features remixed songs from Candiria’s first three albums. The band brought on special guest remixers to help out with the project. “Faction” was taken from the band’s 1997 release, 'Beyond Reasonable Doubt', and was remixed by fellow New Yorker, and Industiral/Techno experimentalist, Edgey. Candiria has also teamed up with TheGauntlet.com for an exclusive 'Toying With the Insanities' contest. One lucky fan will win an autographed copy of the limited release ‘Volume One’ CD, and an autographed copy of the limited colored vinyl of ‘Volume Two’. Two runner-ups will win a Candiria tee shirt. So Visit http://www.thegauntlet.com/contests/candiria.php to enter Volumes one and two of 'Toying With the Insanities' will be released on Rising Pulse Records on September 9th.
