"It's Inside You" expands CANDY's acclaimed style of digitally coated metal hardcore over 12 tracks, produced by CANDY's Michael Quick together with Uniform's Ben Greenberg and mixed by Kurt Ballou at God City Studios (NAILS, High on Fire, The Armed).

In addition, CANDY will perform two nights with The Dillinger Escape Plan at the Brooklyn Paramount in New York on June 21 and 23. Tickets available here.

"It's Inside You" is a kind of manifesto of unity and inner strength. The album meanders through the dark and bright corners of the human psyche. Although the nihilism and pains of the modern world still exist on the album, "It's Inside You" sees the band turn to tenderness more than ever. The album creates an energizing and empowering atmosphere, in which seeking connections with oneself and others is central. In constructing the album, CANDY opened up and invited collaborators such as Aaron Melnick (Integrity), Justice Tripp (Angel Du$t, Trapped Under Ice), David Gagliardi (Trash Talk), MIRSY (Marisa Shriar from Fleshwater) and mmph (Sae Heum Han), who helped enrich and further define the band's already distinctive energy.

"It's Inside You" follows CANDY's second album, "Heaven Is Here", released in 2022 and described by The FADER as "hardcore that sounds like a nuclear meltdown", and includes the tracks 'Human Condition Above Human Opinion', 'Transcend To Wet' and 'World of Shit'. In 2018, CANDY released their debut album, "Good To Feel", which includes the tracks 'Good To Feel' and 'Lust For Destruction'. In 2019, the band released the single singles 'Super-Stare' and 'Win Free Love', which served as the distinctive bridge between 'Good To Feel' and 'Heaven Is Here'.

With "It's Inside You", CANDY signals the future of what hardcore, metal and electronica can really be.
