If Primus & The Chocolate Factory wasn’t crazy enough for you through two speakers, you can now experience it in 5.1 SURROUND SOUND.  This new edition out today includes a 5.1 DVD with candy coated visualizers for each song, and the full album on CD.

After an eccentric year of Primus & the Chocolate Factory shows, we are excited to announce Primus’s upcoming run of 2016 shows with legendary rockers TOOL. A limited run of eight dates, these shows are not to be missed. The band will also be playing a New Year’s Eve show at Fox Theater in Oakland where the album Pork Soda will be played in its entirety for the first time ever. Tickets can be purchased HERE.

Last but now least, in honor of its release we’ve revealed the music video for “Candyman”, in which a Claymation Les Claypool serenades candy cave creatures. Courtesy of Bass Guitar Magazine you can watch + share it HERE.

“The recording is about my early perception of the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory film,” says Claypool. “The notion wasn’t so much to go in and redo the soundtrack note for note as much as it was to utilize the classic elements of the music yet try to reflect some of the darker undertones of the Roald Dahl books, because when you read those books, there is an eerie and somewhat menacing aspect implied.” – Les Claypool
