I don’t remember how I discovered Candlemass. Certainly it was sometime in high school. I remember their album, “Epicus, Doomicus, Metallicus” was so heavy. Thing is, after that album, I lost interest in them. Not sure why. Nothing against the band, I just drifted in anothe direction.
Found this on YouTube the other day… figured it would make a good Sunday Metal. 🙂
Stuff From Hsoi 
I love all eras of Candlemass except for the current one with Solitude Aeturnus’ singer. He was great on the first 4 or 5 SA albums but he’s lost it now.
Give Nightfall a listen sometime, it’s my fave of the classic lineup with Messiah Marcolin on vocals. The first one they did after Messiah left, Chapter VI, was really good, although not as doomy.
Messiah’s post-Candlemass band Memento Mori was really good as well, especially the debut.
OK cool. I’ll have to check that out. Thanx!
