CANDLEMASS - Epicus Doomicus Metallicus Ltd Reissue Red Vinyl - LP
Reissue RED vinyl!
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 genres subsequent
greats - Candlemass themselves taking a large influence from Black
Sabbath.
'Epicus Doomicus Metallicus' is a true classic. Every track is
undeniably strong - 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).
This is one of the
definitive Doom Metal releases, immortalising the band, alongside early
developers of the style such as the US band, Pentagram. 'Epicus' was
recorded at Thunderload Studios in 1986 and was released later that same
year.
The vocals for this, their debut album, were handled by Johan L
ngqvist, 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 albums
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 rate the album very highly to this day -
Paradise Lost particularly ranking Epicus among their favourite albums
ever. This vinyl edition of Epicus comes on red 180gsm vinyl with black
& white labels.
The gatefold sleeve features the original artwork
(red text & skull not white as on the CD) on a matte laminated
sleeve with logo & text on front in spot varnish. It will also
include new sleeve notes written by the band.
