Reviews (from CDnow's Discography)

  Orgy's Candyass is the inaugural release on Elementree Records, Korn's Reprise-distributed label. Though Korn has heartily endorsed Orgy as one of its favorite bands, it's not part of the traditional metal world. Orgy churns out a cascade of industrial beats drenched in danceable rhythms and scratchy riffs accompanied by monotone, British new wave-styled vocals. While mechanized and polished, Candyass exudes a sultry, sensual vibe throughout, especially on the band's interpretation of New Order's "Blue Monday." This So Cal quintet recognizes the strength of its synthetic, yet charged, futuristic soundscapes. As a result, trying to sit still while listening to Candyass is futile.

Detractors will undoubtedly peg them as Marilyn Manson imitators, but that's like putting down Stevie Ray Vaughan for his Hendrixisms. The band works well within the parameters of their chosen genre, and if you go for the industrial-inflected synth rock of Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson, etc., you'd be foolish to overlook CANDYASS. The sonic assualt is almost unrelentingly brutal, as pounding drums, jackhammer guitars and wailing, buzzing synths (all heavily processed) pin your ears back. The cold, detached vocal style matches the uncompromising electro-rock arrangements perfectly. Apocalyptic, iconoclastic and willfully abrasive, ORGY is the worst nightmare of every teen's parents, and that's what rock & roll's all about.
