Richmond, Virginia hardcore band Candy are releasing their new album Heaven Is Here on June 24 (yes, that is next Friday). Today, they've shared a new single "World of Shit," which really fits the vibes these days. This is the third single they've shared from their follow-up to 2018's Good to Feel.

"World of Shit" is as muddy and chaotic as the title implies. In under two minutes, a pungent guitar melody barely makes its way through a storm of noise, cymbal clashing, and demonic growls. The violent track spits some harsh and true observations: "Society of hate / Nation of pain / World of shit." Indeed, indeed. "Dreams hindered by factions / Chained to demands but not actions / Freedom is not a permanent condition." The final line cuts through the band's dextrous sonic debris: "Are you supporting justice? Or lies."
