Candlemass was formed by bassist and songwriter Leif Edling in Stockholm, Sweden in 1984, and 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 and finely crafted Doom. This is one of the quintessential, definitive Doom Metal releases, immortalising the band in the annals of music history & 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 and the US, Candlemass eschewed this direction, and formed a phenomenon of their  own through the latter part of the decade and beyond with their slow & spellbinding atmospherics.  ‘Epicus…’ was recorded at Thunderload Studios in 1986 and was released later that same year, with the  grand and inspiring vocals for the debut handled by Johan Längqvist. Leif Edling comments: “EPICUS was our first, and perhaps also the best. I have no clue what we did there in the studio deep under the Stockholm subway, but some sort of magic was created. This is a record I would …
