4 | Candiria is a band hailing from Brooklyn, New York. They're best known for blending elements of ProgressiveRock, HardcorePunk, HeavyMetal, HipHop, and JazzFusion into a distinctive style they like to refer to as "urban fusion". While driving on the way to a gig in Cleveland to support their new album during September 2002, Candiria's equipment trailer was hit by a semi-truck, sending it and the van the band was driving flipping several times down the road. Miraculously, the entire band survived the ordeal and even made a picture of the demolished van the album cover for 2004's ''What Doesn't Kill You...''. |

45 | |
46 | * AlbumTitleDrop: "Sirens" for ''Kiss the Lie''. |
47 | * BoastfulRap: "Words from the Lexicon". |

52 | * GenreRoulette: Band switches between ProgressiveMetal, HipHop and {{Jazz}}, sometimes within the same song. |
53 | * HarshVocals: It seems to be Carley's primary method of singing, at least pre-''What Doesn't Kill You...''. |
54 | * NewSoundAlbum: |
55 | ** ''What Doesn't Kill You...'' is more conventional than anything the band had recorded up to that point, featuring traditional song structures and Carley singing melodically. |
56 | ** ''Kiss the Lie'' has a more atmospheric alt-metal sound that eschews the band's previous jazz and hip-hop influences. |
57 | ** ''While They Were Sleeping'' is something of a return to their classic style. |
58 | * ProgressiveMetal |
59 | * SurprisinglyGentleSong: "Matter. Anti. Matter" is a jazz-fusion number that [[BreatherEpisode comes in between two metal songs]] on ''The Process of Self-Development''. |
60 | * TheUnintelligible: Carley's harsh vocals. |
