Peaceville

Candlemass was formed by bassist &amp; songwriter Leif Edling in Stockholm, Sweden in 1984 &amp; is well known for its 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 genre classic, with every track a monument of timeless &amp; finely crafted Doom.

This is one of the quintessential, definitive Doom Metal releases, immortalising the band in the annals of music history &amp; creating the foundations of a legacy spanning over thirty-five years. Going against the grain of bands at the time using speed to bolster their metal with the ongoing rise of thrash in Europe &amp; the US, Candlemass eschewed this direction &amp; formed a phenomenon of their own through the latter part of the decade &amp; beyond with their slow &amp; spellbinding atmospherics. Epicus... was recorded at Thunderload Studios in 1986 &amp; was released later that same year, with the grand &amp; inspiring vocals for the debut handled by Johan Längqvist.

Now, marking 35 years of the iconic debut, this deluxe triple vinyl release includes a new remastered version of the album itself, as well as a collection of Candlemass' essential 1985 recordings made on the run up to the Epicus... session, in the form of the 'Witchcraft' demo plus the O.A.L. studio recordings &amp; completed by the band's Upplands Väsby rehearsal from November of 1985.
