Candy66 is an alternative metal band from Venezuela formed in Caracas in 1998. This band's breakthrough across the country began in 2000 when they won first place at the Festival Nuevas Bandas, a musical contest that features newborn bands of different genres from all over the country. They have cited many bands as their influences, such as Black Sabbath, Faith No More, Pantera, Nirvana (band), among others.
History
The band has released four studio albums, P.O.P. (Para Otras Personas) (For Other People) in 2001, A+ in 2003, Evolutio released in 2009 and Nueva Guerra (New War) in 2013. They also released a live album 5 Mundos (5 Worlds) in 2004.
They released several singles after 2015 such as Sombras en el Sol (2015), Estelar (2019), and Hijos del Abismo (2019). In 2020, the band released a special video clip with a recognized Venezuelan rapper named NK Profeta, an acoustic version of their song "Invisible."
