S-Tier Thumbnail. I'm listening to their albums for the first time right now and Epicus Doomicus and Nightfall actually blew me away 🔥

grew up in Väsby ( suburb to stockholm) and heard these guys before they were Candlemass (Nemesis) and the metal community where we grew up werent too, impressed, except a bunch of us loving Sabbath and seeing these guys early on and knowing theyll go far was really cool. also, Väsby had bands like Europe being the go to band back then, melodic metal was in its prime getting all the buzz. but for us young kids loving metallica/Sabbath etc they were really a fresh take on hard rock, gotta remember Doom wasnt a term yet before these guys great review buddy

Hi John!! so cool to hear your thought about Candlemass a band i'm not very familiar as i'm also not a big fan of doom because i don't like when they play to slow and gets boring, i prefer when they add some heavy metal sounds an tempo to the music. However i have heard some really cool songs, like the last single they put out from their latest record and seeing it ranking high on many list from 2022. They are for sure a band on my listening list!!! cheers and be well

I just got into these guys recently and listened to all their albums. I actually had no idea that the newest albums were the same vocalist as the first one?! Because he sounds completely different now, still really good voice but very different to the first one. And ontop of that it's very very surprising to hear that the 2nd and 3rd albums DON'T!? have the same vocalist as the first?! Because on those the vocals sound identical? I'm confused haha. Either way can't wait to see these guys at a festival in a couple months! My favorite albums are definitely the first 2.

Your number 12 and 13 are my number one and two. I love the spacy stuff. I don't like my metal mixed with fuckin' Pavarotti.
