CANDY are normally a band one goes to for a pretty miserable time – in a good way of course. Even looking at the artwork for most of their records can leave you feeling like you need a bath, to say nothing of the extremity of the music contained within. Last time out, on 2022’s Heaven Is Here, someone spilled a sizable dollop of industrial metal into the band’s already noxious brew of noise-addled metallic hardcore, and clearly they liked the taste because there’s plenty more of it on their third full-length It’s Inside You. But, true to form at this point, the evolution doesn’t stop there.
For starters, and still in its own twisted way, It’s Inside You is actually meant to be fun – inspirational and motivational where its predecessors have been bleak and nihilistic. The title may seem somewhat threatening at first glance, especially with the aforementioned artwork of some of their previous efforts in mind, but get to the track it takes its name from and you’ll realise it’s about one of hardcore’s favourite ever subjects of finding strength within and doing things your own way (“Start the riot / It’s inside you”). It’s relevant in two ways really, speaking not only to the album’s themes of empowerment, but also to CANDY’s insistence on playing by their own rules and expanding and defining a sound, style and world that feels increasingly unique to them.
