Death Kiss Candy ignite an explosive cocktail of dark sounds, bittersweet feelings and smoky whiskey. A mixture that is best enjoyed in a wicked Concert venue: No frills – as foggy as possible, as dark as possible.
The music seduces us into a world of contrasts, somewhere between shoegaze and metal. You float between harmonious, light sounds, let yourself drift with wave guitars and then the next moment you’re hit with a thick slab of dark power. Profound and honest.
Death Kiss Candy thrives on contrasts, which is also reflected in the captivating vocals of Laura and Flavio: Opposing voices that constantly attract and embrace each other, only to fight each other again with full energy. Painful and beautiful at the same time.
Due to their origins in totally different spheres, each of the five musicians brings their own specialty to the Death Kiss Candy mix, which makes the abysmal and bittersweet taste perfect.
