House of Doom Darker than amber, dark like your bones Clearer than crystal, in the death of the sun Built on the ruins of the black angels tomb The house of madness, awake, burning for you Like a finger to the gods, the tower it stands Exhibition of evil, monumental and grand Floor on floor of fear, temptation, decay “I’m cold, sinister…I’m wicked and strange” Like a statement of the sick.

Many bands trying to play doom metal Candlemass does it irobi this in a great way, they are not accidentally called one of the fathers of this genre Great job.
Haven't been in touch with the band lately, but... This surely is Mats Levén. Didn't know he was currently working with them. Candlemass surely have a fine taste for singers. Each one of them is gold.
While I prefer Messiah myself, I have to admit that Mats has a very unique vocal ability-his voice is very soft, but very strong and clear. He adds a menacing tone that not too many singers in this genre can reproduce. Anyhow, I first picked up the Nightfall album in 1986 or 1987 (thought the cover looked cool) and I was blown away when I heard "The Well Of Souls". It's been 31 years later and I'm STILL a fan of this truly OVERLOOKED band!
I have been listening CANDLEMASS since ANCİENT DREAMS what ı think is CANDLEMASS still brilliant very modern vocals very heavy and dark guitar sounds and tones ı love HOUSE OF DOOM EP I DO ENJOY İT CANDLEMASS İS MUCH BETTER THAN PAST
@@billsemenoff Disrespectful? the hell you talking about? The guy who sings is the singer from Krux. at least in this album. it was a side project but it was great. Candlemass is awesome too. but this gave me krux vibes. and i posted this 2 years ago man
It is evident that we are living in a golden age of thrash death black and doom metal. In these times of political and economic crises we have a great and grandiose soundtrack to these troubled times.
I Know Candlemass 23 years now ! Great doom band , great doom music ! But the problem is that I think that they write and play music for me and my house ! Am I schizophreniac ?
What was this....Half an album ??! Three GREAT songs and then ending with a totally uninspired fourth (instrumental) piece, leaving everybody in the dark ? WTF ? Who's idea was that ??? You guys on a deadline there ? There was two of us listening to that EP here, and we both independently experienced exactly the same "cop-out" there ! Candlemass is a great band, but needs a better "director".
vocals dont have enough character! I'm not expecting him to be on the level of Marcolin and its inevitable when vocalists have to live up to the predecessor people are going to dislike it, i get that but it just lacks character. then again i was ever a fan of krux
How many bands is rob in lastchapter solitude aeturnus. Candlemass what else please doom on listen to sheavy. Penance. Trouble. Iron man. The skull. Blackfinger. Lost breed. Paulchain death ss. Cathedral
Nope! This sadly lacks any of the heaviness I usually associate with this band. To me it sounds like a marriage between a confused Candlemass and Ghost topped with a singer that lacks character. He doesn't sing bad at all. But he lacks uniqueness. I'd personally hate to shoulder the job of Messiah but he chosed to and will be judged accordingly. He doesn't do the old stuff justice, at all, which both Thomas and the drunk 'merican actually did.
Agreed. Candlemass has lost it's epicness. Now they just sound like they are trying too hard to be doom. The shredding solos are gone,the unique ultra heavy riffs aren't there anymore, and no one will ever be able to match messiah in pure power and emotion
One of the best albums/EPs of CANDLEMASS ever! So heavy, so moody, so rich in variety! And so brilliant vocals...

This is truly a master peice
New full-length The Door to Doom comes out Feb. 22, with Johan Längquist on vocals. I can't wait...
winter1235 who sings on this?
@@bigbellyfyoy Mats Levén. www.metal-archives.com/artists/Mats_Lev%C3%A9n/6461
I am listening over 38 years of Hard and Heavy or Heavy metal...and House of doom is greatest song I have been ever heard..
1. House of Doom
Darker than amber, dark like your bones
Clearer than crystal, in the death of the sun
Built on the ruins of the black angels tomb
The house of madness, awake, burning for you
Like a finger to the gods, the tower it stands
Exhibition of evil, monumental and grand
Floor on floor of fear, temptation, decay
“I’m cold, sinister…I’m wicked and strange”
Like a statement of the sick. A mansion of grief
If you walk into the house, you will never leave.
WELCOME TO THE HOUSE OF DOOM
A CHURCH OF EVIL, A LABYRINTH OF ROOMS
WE ARE THE CHILDREN OF THE MOON
WE KEEP THE DARK ALIVE
IN THE HOUSE OF DOOM
2. Flowers of Deception
How you broke that magic mirror
Millions pieces of sin
Each tell a story, each tell a tale
Of divine suffering
Oh, so wrong and so fatal
Like a castle of pain
It's the smell of betrayal
It's the taste of change
How flowers of deception
Spreading disease
It's a human infection
From you to me
Oh, so wrong and so fatal
Like a castle of pain
It's the smell of betrayal
It's the taste of change
The flowers of deception
The flowers of deception
There's no protection
The flowers of deception
If I drown in the lake of fire
Will I take the open hand
That takes me from my torment
To a place in Satan's land
The flowers of deception
Was given just to me
Lilies of eruption
Lies and lies and grin
Seeds of imperfection
Was live without the flaw
The secrets build more secrets
And destruct becomes the law
How you broke that magic mirror
Millions pieces of sin
Each tell a story, each tell a tale
Of divine suffering
Oh, so wrong and so fatal
Like a castle of pain
It's the smell of betrayal
The taste of change
The flowers of deception
The flowers of deception
Now there's no protection
The flowers of deception
3. Fortuneteller
A secret basement hidden away from the world
She said I'm chasing what I can't have or what I can't do
The fortune, the fortune, the fortuneteller
The fortune, the fortune, the fortuneteller
The cards have spoken
I must go where no angels go
My will is broken
I'm the one that I don't wanna know
The fortune, the fortune, the fortuneteller
The fortune, the fortune, the fortuneteller
I saw the future, with a fateful gesture of the hand
I think it's really evil, make me do what you can't understand
The fortune, the fortune, the fortuneteller
The fortune, the fortune, the fortuneteller
The fortune, the fortune, the fortuneteller
The fortune, the fortune, the fortuneteller
And one last question:
Why is happiness just smoke in the blue?
Oh, fortuneteller, please tell me the bloody truth

The fathers of Doom Metal are Black Sabbath. I don´t think Candlemass would disagree with that.
@@miguelbarahona6636 Candlemass aren't a sellout compare to Black Sabbath 🤫🤔🤭
@@coveredinkevins9445 childish discussion
This EP is better than the album
Indeed... Probably Leif took the best Songs and put them on this Ep because he knew.
Yeah, I like older Candlemass, but I also like this album. It is not a crime to change style a bit from time to time.
Haven't been in touch with the band lately, but... This surely is Mats Levén. Didn't know he was currently working with them. Candlemass surely have a fine taste for singers. Each one of them is gold.

No he is not anymore, as of today's news Johan Längquist is back in the band, some serious shit is going on !!! More news to follow !
Awesome doom
superb!!!!
Yeahhhh..this is great
Great!
Its very good to know that Candlemass go on kickin' the Ass yet! Fuckin' doom masters forever!
Still going strong. I am a great fan of Mats Levén and he doesn't disappoint here either.
Great singer!!!
I have been listening CANDLEMASS since ANCİENT DREAMS what ı think is CANDLEMASS still brilliant very modern vocals very heavy and dark guitar sounds and tones ı love HOUSE OF DOOM EP I DO ENJOY İT CANDLEMASS İS MUCH BETTER THAN PAST
great!
Greetings great music from a great band. Doom at its best.
Explendido!
😊😊😊
"Fortuneteller" reminds me of The Fall by Solitude Aeturnus
I think maybe is the best
Yeahhhhh!!!!!
Good to see Krux revived again as candlemass.
Both great bands.
Slightly disrespectful of the lead guitar? Or the rhythm guys for that matter
@@billsemenoff Disrespectful? the hell you talking about? The guy who sings is the singer from Krux. at least in this album. it was a side project but it was great. Candlemass is awesome too. but this gave me krux vibes. and i posted this 2 years ago man
@@WorivpuqloDMogh His voice reminds me of that guy from Soundgarden. What a great job he did on this latest one, though. Awesome
Colllllll..... ¡¡..🤘🤘🤘
Mats Leven Rules
It is evident that we are living in a golden age of thrash death black and doom metal. In these times of political and economic crises we have a great and grandiose soundtrack to these troubled times.
It is a world of darkness and Satan is the ruler of the earth . . .
Metal will always be great. Its timeless. Metal is unique in that way.
Unlike that shit they blast through radios today.
Doom and thrash, my favorites
@@dimitrisbariamis1753 ave satanas 😋
As soon as he says "crystal" in the first song it's like a heads up, wait, what crystal, Candlemass, yes? :D
I have Candlemass holyday
This is a soundtrack to a slot machine.
This is a soundtrack to find a sepulchre slot.
love that game. house of doom , won tons of money with it loll
Is like Manila Road ... With pentagram (usa)
WE ARE THE CHILDREN OF THE MOON))) ALL THE INFANTS OF DOOM)))
97.5% or so
Someone knows about Tobias Forge collaboration?
Nope... Inlight me.
💟💟💟💟💟💟
I Know Candlemass 23 years now ! Great doom band , great doom music ! But the problem is that I think that they write and play music for me and my house ! Am I schizophreniac ?
lol in harmony with the ghost inside the house
γαμησετα αδερφε.καιγω απτο 95.μπανταρα
it reminds more bands but candlemass is the first one forever...
With you man ! ! !
I have a dragon order as well . . .
DOOM))) ON , ALL YA DOOMSTERS !!!
is house of doom Mats or Johan on vox? Just got the door to doom and it has that song on it.
It has Mats on vocals. The Door To Doom version is rerecorded with Johan on vocals.
@@domant26 ok. They sound very similar. The door to doom has Mats credited as backup vocals
@@frankinchickenb9020 really? I didn't know
What is this new candlemass music?
Uhm.. Doom metal in every Sense( cover, EP's title and the arrangements themselves.
Please up the vocals, singer's voice is drowned in the songs
Now the singer is Johan Langqvist.
Love it (охуенно).
What was this....Half an album ??!
Three GREAT songs and then ending with a totally uninspired fourth (instrumental) piece, leaving everybody in the dark ? WTF ? Who's idea was that ??? You guys on a deadline there ?

Messiah had a deepest passion . . .
So was i. Krux was amazing. Really great songs.
Glad to hear that voice again in new songs
I like it but for me would be good another welcome to Robert Lowe (now in Tyrant) or Messiah and with Johan was great.
Robert Lowe's old band Solitude Aeturnus were better than any band he has worked with since.
How many bands is rob in lastchapter solitude aeturnus. Candlemass what else please doom on listen to sheavy. Penance. Trouble. Iron man. The skull. Blackfinger. Lost breed. Paulchain death ss. Cathedral
Lowe's best project right now is Grief Collector. Check it out.
