Influential Brooklyn, New York metal progenitors CANDIRIA have signed to Metal Blade Records. The band’s first new full-length album since 2009’s “Kiss The Lie” is due in 2016.
Since forming in 1992, CANDIRIA has released seven full-lengths CDs, two EPs, and survived a serious van crash in 2002.

“We have a new album in the works and we definitely plan to hit the road in support of it.
“2016 is going to be an amazing year for CANDIRIA.”
CANDIRIA’s Michael MacIvor adds: “Metal Blade have been at the forefront of extreme music since I was a kid. Just like CANDIRIA, they have always pushed the boundaries of music, and have trusted their gut instincts.
“I can’t think of a better place to call home for the future of CANDIRIA. We are extremely happy to be a part of the Metal Blade family.”
Metal Blade Records CEO Brian Slagel comments: “I am really happy to welcome CANDIRIA to the Metal Blade family! I have been a huge fan during their career and very excited to work with them.”
