Candiria Guitarist John LaMacchia on The MetalSucks Podcast #171

John LaMacchia, guitarist of the reactivated Candiria, guests this
week on your favorite metal podcast and we dive deep into the
band's new record While They Were Sleeping. In our interview
we talk about the many projects he's spearheaded, how 9/11 took its
toll on him and led to addiction, the dark nature of the music he
creates, going back out on tour and what that means for his
lifestyle, and what the future might bring. We also talk about
the disappointing sales figures for Avenged Sevenfold's new album,
The Stage, which sold less than half the number of first week
copies as their last record did. The stunt of announcing the
record one day before its release may have backfired. Do
stunts and tricks work in a band's favor? Or is it
counterintuitive to fake out their hardcore audience by not
telling them that you're working on new material? Will this
benefit or hurt the band's upcoming lawsuit with their old label?
Was the label change a good idea after all? Does anyone really
care? Songs: Candiria – "While They Were Sleeping"Dark
