  • A retrospective on the originators of epic doom metal, Candlemass. Join me on a deep dive into the Swedish metal band from their early days at Nemesis to their most recent 2022 album. Led by founding member bassist Leif Edling, Candlemass has maintained an impressively stable lineup, except for the vocalist position which has been filled by six different singers. The most recognized is perhaps Messiah Marcolin, the monk-outfitted frontman from their '80s music videos and, ultimately, four albums. A huge influence on doom metal and a classic band in their own right, Candlemass has some awesome stuff throughout their career. So, let's check it out!

    I had never heard them (only heard the band name) until an afternoon in Paris where I saw a few metalheads standing next to a van and looking at a roadmap and I asked if I could give them directions. They replied that they had to go to the Elysée Montmartre and asked if I could get in the passenger seat and guide them. I accepted and asked them who they were (that's the way to go kids, get in the van with stangers and THEN ask who they are...). That's how I found out they were in Candlemass. They put me on the guest list for the evening and I got the chance to do an interview for a fanzine I was working with. That gig was my first thrash concert, with Nuclear Assault, Acid Reign and Dark Angel. The singer (Messiah Marcolin) was a super friendly guy, very simple and patient with my amateurish, badly prepared interview in broken english.

    These guys deserves all the success they can get. They were from Upplands Väsby which was the hotspot in the mid 80's in Sweden for it's glam/hard rock scene (Europe is from there as well). It must have been very tempting to follow the trends but nah they went their own path. All hail Candlemass!

    I got to see them on the Tales Of Creation tour, St Andrew's Hall, Detroit. It was in the middle of a snowstorm, and only a handful of people there. Atheist opened just weeks before Roger died. Messiah stuck the mic in my face for a good portion of the show, so i got to sing along, and meet the whole band and hung out until they closed the venue!!

    Candlemass, one of my all time favorites. And, being an author, they gave lots of inspiration to me. I will always associate their early albums to my time of intense Pen and Paper roleplaying, "Ancient Dreams" accompanying me through the years. I published a fantasy adventure based on "Bearer of Pain" and a short story inspired by "King of the grey islands". "Solitude" helped me through dark times, "Where the Runes still Speak", "Into the unfathomed Tower" and "Samarithan" (and many more) still give me goosebumps every single time I hear them. Lost track of the newer stuff, but now I am inspired to have a closer look. Thank you, great video!

    Hot take - From the 13th Sun is one of the best albums from them. I wrote it off at first and stuck to Messiah's/Rob's albums (Clearsight was the very first song i heard from them and i was hooked), but after going back to 13th Sun, I have to put that in the top 2 or 3 albums. It's so insanely unique, the vocals are haunting, and with appropriate "mood enhancers", it's an entire experience just listening to it through headphones in a dark room. Acquired taste, sure, but amazing.

    Even though I'm more into Power Metal along with (Traditional) Heavy Metal and not much into Doom Metal, there was a time I did listen to Candlemass before.

Too bad there's no mention of the Memento Mori albums Messiah made after his first stint in Candlemass, but that would've made it too long, I guess. Great job, hope you keep it up for years to come!

      @@MetalSchoolChannelI love researching on obscure 80's metal bands. I help out by getting in contact with the artist and I interview them for the missing important information. Most MA editors just what you do on your videos do deeper research on the bands that they are researching on. Me I dig deeper in contacting the band members themselves because they hold the information that not many people know about their music. Sometimes they share their unreleased material rear demos, and story about their music that's the real hidden treasures to me hidden by obscure bands members.

    I am 31. I went through a "metal phase" in my teens and I eventually stuck with ska and punk in my adult days. But make no mistake, I never lost touch with my love for metal. Candlemass is like one of those bands I show metalheads to check out even as a former metalhead. (Maybe the reality is "once a metalhead, always a metalhead"). Candlemass was one of those bands I would often revisit and just melt my bad days away when things got grim. I'm more into thrash metal, but Candlemass is a great Doom Metal band that deserves to be celebrated for generations to come. Cheers! Solidarity! Long live metal! 🤘😈

    My favorite Candlemass albums are:
    1.Nightfall because it features my favorite Candlemass song on it which is Bewitched,
    2.Death Magic Doom because it's part of the Robert Lowe era,
    3.Door To Doom because Astorolus-The Great Octopus features Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath as a guest guitarist,
    4.Epicus Doomicus Metallicus because the title's a dead giveaway that it's Epic Doom Metal

    Great video! It's hard to put into words how much the early Candlemass albums meant to me in the late 80s, but the combination of those fantastic album covers and the heavy, melodic and hauntingly beautiful music was just perfection. The album cover of Epicus is obviously quite different compared to what came after it - and it's a fantastic album - but the golden era for me was always Nightfall, Ancient Dreams and Tales of Creation. I wasn't too excited by Chapter VI at release, which probably had a lot to do with my love for grunge at that time, and sold it pretty quickly. Last year I (re)bought the album and find it to be pretty decent. Haven't really listened much to the self-titled album, but it's definitely good, and after 2005 I'm pretty much in the dark. I had mp3's of King of the Grey Islands on an old phone, but haven't heard it in a loooong time. Hearing clips in this video reminded me that it's a really solid album. I've heard almost nothing from the latest releases with mr Längqvist but I should probably check those out.

    Marcolin actually beat Candlemass to the first epic doom metal release -- in 1983, Messiah was a vocalist for the band Mercy, and they would release a demo (one year before Day of Retribution!) which arguably has an epic doom sound. Just one year earlier, in 1982, Mercy released EP Swedish Metal, which is just standard heavy metal, so Marcolin joining in 1983 probably had something to do with the change in sound. Can't say if Nemesis invented the sound, and Mercy were only the first to put it on a demo, or if they came to it independently of each other, but it was still an interesting situation nonetheless!
    Also does anyone know who was the publisher of Pentagram material in Europe? Pentagram wasn't very popular prior to 1985, and yet both Candlemass/Nemsis and Black Hole (Italy) cite them as influences

    It's really quite tragic: they had something special initially, a winning formula, were essentially pioneers and they never even realised this. Nothing really ever came of it. Pissed it all away. Classic example here of the enormous damage inflated egos and bickering can do.

    I love how much of the music you play in your videos so I get a great idea of the band. I'd heard some Candlemass before but I didn't realize how much I enjoyed their music until I watched this. I love doom metal but this just wasn't one of the bands I listened to much. Very niche and underappreciated genre of metal, but I understand why it's niche, I don't think the slow tempo has ever been a really popular thing.
