Our Take

CANDLEMASS: Don't Fear The Reaper (White Vinyl)

In the dark and gloomy realm of doom metal, Candlemass have always reigned supreme. With their latest release, "Don't Fear The Reaper," they continue to deliver their signature blend of bone-crushing riffs and haunting melodies.

From the moment the needle hits the white vinyl, listeners are transported to a world of darkness and despair. The opening track, "Death Is Calling," sets the tone with its ominous guitar work and thunderous drums. Lead vocalist Johan Längquist's haunting vocals soar over the heavy instrumentation, creating a sense of impending doom.

Tracks like "The Spell" and "Into The Unknown" showcase Candlemass' ability to craft epic, sprawling compositions that draw the listener in and refuse to let go. The band's mastery of dynamics is on full display here, with moments of crushing heaviness giving way to haunting passages of quiet introspection.

But it's not all doom and gloom on "Don't Fear The Reaper." The band injects moments of dark humour and wit throughout the album, such as on the quirky track "Graveyard Dreams," which features a particularly eerie organ solo.

Overall, "Don't Fear The Reaper" is a masterclass in doom metal craftsmanship. Candlemass prove once again why they are legends of the genre, delivering an album that is both crushingly heavy and hauntingly beautiful. It's a must-listen for any fan of dark, heavy music.
