The Latest Crave: State of Affliction

You may know her as the guitarist for deliciously thrash metal band Reverend H. Chronicles but State of Affliction’s Candice Kiser also has her own project; State of Affliction. As lead vocalist of SOA, Candice inspires her audience through music and philanthropy. Singing and performing for Tastebuds to raise monies for cancer benefit and other charitable efforts; State of Affliction’s Candice Kiser gives back to her community while holding down a solo career, and still finds time to write pure driven alternative songs based on real life experiences.


“Behind Every song is a story” - Candice Kiser

Thoughts on a few favorite tracks:

A lamented life: Unknown Face carries a dark message of a an abandoned love over a light and a more mainstream melody - a alternative pop track with the potential to be a major hit.

Boldly covering the great Cradle of Filth single Nymphetamine; State of Affliction’s dark angel rendition is a credit to the delicacy of her vocals - beckoning you to lust after her haunting sound.

Shattered Glass depicts the back and forth of a brutal fight between lovers and is packed with riveting emotional breakdowns from the memories of a painful and violent past relationship.

A metal injected alternative track; Disaster is sinister and heavy but also reminiscent of more melancholy Hole. Check out the video below.

State of Affliction is vampyricly addictive sound expressing the alluring beauty that comes through deep rooted pain and bursts open into a dark and lush collection of moods and atmospheres.
