Our Take

CANDLEMASS, Epicus Doomicus Metallicus

Buckle up, music heads, because Candlemass is here to take you on an epic journey into the realm of doomicus metallicus. If you haven't already grabbed your trusty black cloak and a handful of candles to set the mood, then what are you waiting for?

From the moment you press play on this album, you find yourself engulfed in a dark and brooding atmosphere that is as heavy as a kilo of lead. The guitars chug along like a steam train on a mission to crush the souls of all who dare listen, while the vocals soar above like a banshee in the night.

Tracks like "Solitude" and "Crystal Ball" showcase the band's ability to create a sense of impending doom that is both terrifying and exhilarating. It's like being trapped in a crypt with only a flickering torch to light your way, unsure of what horrors lurk in the shadows.

But fear not, dear listeners, for Candlemass are masters of their craft. They seamlessly blend thunderous riffs with haunting melodies, creating a sonic landscape that is both brutal and beautiful. Epicus Doomicus Metallicus is a timeless classic that will leave you headbanging one minute and weeping the next.

So, grab your favourite goblet of mead, light some incense, and prepare to be drawn into the dark and enchanting world of Candlemass. This album is a must-listen for any fan of heavy metal, doom, or just good ol' fashioned musical wizardry.

Formed in 1984, this band has been serving up thunderous riffs and soul-crushing vocals for over three decades, solidifying their status as true pioneers of the genre.

Their live performances are nothing short of a religious experience, with the band delivering a sonic assault that will leave you begging for more. Whether you're a longtime fan or a newcomer to the world of doom metal, Candlemass is a band that demands to be heard. So, prepare yourself for a journey into the depths of darkness with one of the most iconic bands in the history of heavy music.
