Release Notes:
Candlemass was formed by bassist and songwriter
Leif Edling in Stockholm, Sweden in 1984, and they
are well known for their epic doom metal, having a
great influence over a generation of the genre's
subsequent greats - Candlemass themselves taking a
large influence from Black Sabbath.
'Epicus Doomicus Metallicus' is a true classic.
Heavy metal riffs blended with almost
neo-classical touches, plus some theatrical
elements bringing to mind bands like Mercyful Fate
(thought to be another influence). All-in-all,
this is considered one of the definitive Doom
Metal releases.
'Epicus...' was recorded at Thunderload Studios in
1986 and was released later that same year. The
vocals were handled by Johan LΣngqvist, before the
iconic vocalist Messiah Marcolin became a solid
fixture in the band until the early nineties.
Candlemass instantly became a great inspiration to
countless metal bands upon the album's release in
1986; a time when thrash metal, not doom, was fast
becoming the dominant style in both Europe and the
US. Bands such as Paradise Lost & My Dying Bride
to this day rate the album among their favourite
albums ever.
This edition of 'Epicus...' includes a special
commentary disc with founding member Leif Edling,
recorded early 2011, discussing his memories &
inspirations of the writing & recording process
whilst the tracks play. The booklet also contains
liner notes from the band, including an
introduction from Aaron Stainthorpe of My Dying
Bride. Disc 1 contains the remastered audio of
'Epicus...'
