After some rehearsals, Pablo (drums) and Felipe (guitar) were recruited, and the lineup was then completed. During the following months, the band focused on finishing their debut demo and presenting it live throughout the local scene. That demo, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStagnant Livor Mortis\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, was released in late 2022 by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eME SACO UN OJO\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e on cassette and quickly established the name CANDARIAN as a considerable newcomer.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAnd with the imminent release of their debut album, CANDARIAN capitalize on that potential – with disgusting, punishing aplomb.

No more but no less, this is the early ’90s done to perfection, from performance and production on down; everything congeals into a totality that’s all-consuming and utterly convincing.

However, this pulsing \u0026amp; putrescent soundscape of horror and doom manages to go above basic old-school worship whilst including all the necessary filth that vintage death metal needs.
