CANDIRIA '300 PERCENT DENSITY' LP (Limited, Transparent Violet Vinyl)

LABEL: Svart Records
RELEASE DATE: 03/06/2026
VARIANT: Limited Edition, Transparent Violet Vinyl LP

Candiria’s classic album 300 Percent Density reissued on vinyl in February
Hailing from Brooklyn, New York, Candiria is one of the precursors of the mathcore genre.
Formed in 1992 by vocalist Carley Coma, guitarists Chris Puma and Eric Matthews, and
drummer/bassist/keyboardist/trumpeter Kenneth Schalk, the band was part of the second
wave of New York hardcore, but subsequently expanded its performance to also play jazz,
hip hop and progressive rock.

300 Percent Density is Candiria’s fourth studio album, originally released by Century Media in 2001. Critically praised for its experimental mix of metal, jazz, hip-hop, and hardcore, the album’s intricate arrangements and adventurous sound have made it a classic, stated by fans and critics as the band’s best work to date. The 25-year-old album is available on wax again in March 2026 via Svart Records.
