“Inveterate” is the latest single from KISSING CANDICE’s forthcoming album “MANIFEST“. The album was produced by Zach Jones (Fever 333, Chelsea Grin) and will also include the previous singles “Tapeworm”, “Raise Her” and “Brand New Low” which featured Twiztid’s Jamie Madrox. Recording took place at the peak of the pandemic, with no label behind them at the time, the band emptied their own pockets and also turned to fans with a perk-packed crowdfunding campaign. Immediately after the recording process was complete, live music came to a halt, but KISSING CANDICE continued to work around the clock to roll out the new album throughout the pandemic to ensure the end product was something guaranteed to decimate the metal world. The entire recording process was captured by King Zabb and will be released in documentary form later this year. “For the recording of this album, we decided to record with Zach Jones once again. Zach really brought out the best in us and gave us a much more modern and unique sound to match our image,“ commented Kissing Candice bassist Mike Grippo (AKA Grip). “Zach is also a master of pulling wild sounds out of his mind and manifesting them onto the track. He will drop in instruments people haven't heard in years and drop them in the background of the music. Just enough to where if you listen carefully there's always something interesting going on behind the normal instrumentation in the songs we have done with him.“ Combining the grooves of early nu-metal and the pulsing electronics of industrial, with a modern aggression and edge, the New York-based band is a horrific force to be reckoned with. ““Inveterate is about an experience through an often treacherous path in life, where you know the outcome will always be the same, but you can’t stop. It always results in a negative result that you could have avoided the whole time… but you give in.” says guitarist/vocalist Dreamer. “This video captured the vibe of the song very naturally. Beginning with a completely blank slate, we put our ideas in front of the camera and let Tom Flynn interpret them and bring them to life“ Vocalist 'Aunt Donna' says about the music video.
