That voice, that solo, that goofy performance This video has everything

I still can't get over the fact that Mayhem's Dead is on this. Legendary!!

The contrast between the song's utter epicness and the music video's goofiness is hilarious yet amazing at the same time

love how the song is so professionally done while the video is giving high school video project, truly unmatched chaotic energy

The low budget ness definitely adds to the creepy factor. Like its something you accidentally came across on some old unmarked VHS and it cursed you.

This dude rips out one of the sickest solos to ever be laid down on tape while wearing a cast. Absolutely legendary track.

2:55 why is this part so fucking funny

This video was directed by Jonas Åkerlund, who started as the drummer for Bathory and after this music video had an amazing career directing music videos, even won a grammy for his work. Some of the artists he worked with after Candlemass were Roxette, Moby, Prodigy (the legendary video for Smack my Bitch up), The Cardigans, Metallica, Jamiroquai, Iggy Pop, The Smashing Pumpkins, Madonna, U2, Ozzy Osbourne, Paul Mcartney, Satyricon, Ali G + Shaggy, Lenny Kravitz, Christina Aquilera, Blondie, Jane's Addiction, Blink-182, The Rolling Stones, Rammstein, Maroon 5, Pink, Lady Gaga, Britney Spears and Coldplay. So just remember if you are laughing at this video, it was actually the starting point of a great career!

This video is literally a guy coming back from the dead just to make his funeral a party, a true power move indeed

This is exactly how I am forming my new band. Walking out my door randomly pointing at people and singing you are BEWITCHED! And they will stop and come forth.

Find it so cool how Dead is just hanging out with Candlemass

Candlemass audio quality in the streets Candlemass video quality in the sheets

I saw these guys in Boston. I remember it was their first time in America and they had just gotten in that morning and so this marked their first ever U.S. performance. A friend of mine was doing the bass tech for them just for that night and he told me they were very nervous and asked me to get into it. I had been listening to them non stop so it wasn't hard for me. Halfway through the set an obnoxious guy got on stage and tried to shake hands with Messiah Marcolin and Messiah had him wait a minute and came over to me and reached out his hand. After we shook hands the bassist Leif Eidling did the same. Then the drummer came out from the kit. I was surprised but remembered it was their first US performance and I was headbanging the whole time so the entire band came up to me because, I assume, I was the first fan they shook hands with. In any case it was still an honor and they were really cool. Before we shook hands Messiah introduced "A Sorcerer's Pledge", my favorite Candlemass song and I yelled "Yes!!!" And everybody in the audience laughed. Messiah pointed the mic toward me during "A thousand years have gone, armageddon hasn't Come" part.

it's amazing to see Pelle in this when there's so little things of him on video 💜

Pelle is forever missed 🖤🤘🏻

Not gonna lie, this blew my mind when I first saw it. As a 40-something metalhead, all I could think was "why have I never seen/heard this before?". The fact that Dead of Mayhem fame is also in the video is even more mind-blowing.....

I just saw a brand new documentary about the swedish metal/rock scene. When they talked about Candlemass, the bassist, Leif Edling, told the story that Epicus Doomicus Metallicus totaly flopped when they released it, the vocalist didn't want to continue after he recorded it, and they nearly decided to quit the band all together. But then, the phone rang in the middle of the night, Messiah called and said "I'm gonna sing for your band. He started to sing Solitude over the phone and said "I'll move to your town in two weeks, so in two weeks I'll knock on your door and will be ready to sing" Leif had never heard of Messiah, I don't belive they were acually looking for a vocalist either, Messiah just rang, and did actually knock on the door two weeks later! He pushed the band and started the fire again! I loved that story!

The part where they start dancing...incredible. There's something so pure about it. It's just having fun and rocking out to a great metal song cause, oh yeah, this is a great metal song.

Saw the band on Saturday. Never seen anything as metal as that show. Absolutely incredible!

It was a gift to be born in the late 1970s and grow up in the 80s and 90s

I love how he is runnin around, checking to see if they are all indeed bewitched...then he pretty much throws Dead

The way he sings "You are bewitched" haunts me! It gets stuck in my head every now and then!

Pelle's marching steps in the snow were so soft. He really was the most bewitched acting in this video! I feel like everything about him right down to the way he headbanged in his preformances is unique to him...Long live the prince of the woods

Sanitizer: *kills 99.99% of bacteria* The .01% that survive: 5:51

if my funeral isn't this lit then don't even bother burying me

Messiah Marcolin is one of the greatest vocalists around

I want the Candlemass Doom Metal Dance to be done in my funeral.

It amazes me how spotless the music is. Perfect vocals, everything is excellent. But the video is nothing but a meme generator.

This song has probably my favourite guitar solo of all time, I always crank the volume when this song comes on my playlist haha

i often lose sleep over how fucking amazing this video is

"Being a metalhead back in the days was so cool". Metalheads back in the days: 5:52

Those vocals are so unique and powerful. It doesn't need to excessively try to sound "evil" or "heavy" like so many metal vocalist. It's just real human voice with emotional depth and expression.

One of my favorite songs ever! That guitar solo is one of the most beautiful solo's I have ever heard.

Чёткий вокал, каждое слово легко разобрать. Редко, когда мне удаётся понять текст без прочтения, чисто на слух.

I love how not a single ounce of this is ironic, just 100% pure style

This video is somehow funny, epic and legendary at the same time

This guy's phenomenal he's a total showman they kick ass off rooftop

Man this is so much fun to watch. I love this era of Candlemass.

Hard to believe that this is a 19 year old kid singing.

Child: *drowns in chocolate and dies* Oompa Loompas: 5:51

i think the whole fact that this is the goofiest music video of all time makes this song even better than how sick of a song it was before

5:50 their stompy dance here makes me so happy for some reason.

I love how the lead guitarist had a broken hand, but still wanted to do the "solo show-off".

I saw these guys in concert. It was Candlemass, Savatage and King Diamond. It was the most metal event of my life.

6:41 It's funny how this scene looks like the seven dwarfs in Snow White's cartoon. "Hi Ho Hi Ho.. It's home from work we go!"

Love this song, singer has such awesome vocals

That guitar SOLO was GOD LEVEL performance!!!!

Imagine you’re at a funeral for your great grandma and all of a sudden you peer over your shoulder to see a bunch of headbangers dancing over a guy in black robes getting into a coffin.

The solo is freaking epic.

Eu amo muito essa musica e eu adoro demais esse videoclipe. Pra mim sao fantasticos e perfeitos do jeito que sao.

Its legendary to know that Dead is in this video

Messiah Marcolin by far the best vocalist this band had. And watching Pelle in this clip was a gem. Thanks.

He's so passionate when he sings. Having Pelle(Dead) popping up makes this video badass

Still one of the best metal bands to have existed!

I think this video was one of the best discoveries of my life ..

The dance choreography puts 'Thriller' to shame doesn't it.

Why is it so funny and unironically good at the same time?

He's 19 years old in this song, but sounds like He's 40

When I first heard candle mass I fell in love with it instantly after hearing the first song can't really say the same for when I got into alot of other bands

I find it cool that dead of mayhem is one of the metalhead’s marching with the singer

Doom metal guitar riffs are the best.

How tf does a 19 year old kid sings like that holy shit

This is OG Black Metal. I remember this and have like 3 of these on cassette. Candlemass ROCKS, why aren't we touring?

Best video clip ever made in Metal story. Best actors too, one of them was already dead during the record, awesome!

he is like the love child of Ozzy and meatloaf

That moment you find out one of the people in the video is Pelle "Dead" Ohlin, the future vocalist of Mayhem.

Over ten years and I still laugh every time I think of this video

this guy doing sexy dances while playing a strange tune is indeed possesing my mind.

Every time the "my fiddle" part happens I die laughing.

Goddamn, the guitar solo is so damn emotional.

I could watch this 1000 times and I'd still think "I need to watch that again"

The shivers down the spine!

He's shredding a face-melter guitar solo, out in some Scandinavian frozen market centre, and he's wearing a cast on his arm. METAL!

Me trying to find my mum at the supermarket: 5:15

いつ聴いても良いね、好き

2:38 One of the Greatest Riff ever writen

The greatest metal video ever made.

The guy was 19 when this song was made, respect.

Candlemass were and continue to be a winning band. Everything works and awesome guitars and vocals.

Hands down the best music video of all time

For me, one of the best metal solos in history

Moment of silence to the people that will never hear and see this.

5:59 i used to have the red converse in junior high and the red chucks too!!!

this is real music.

Dead from Mayhem was in this music video 4:27

This is the original of the africans coffin dancing meme \m/

Realmente Dead Pelle se metía en el papel al momento de actuar, le metía muchas ganas, una lastima como terminó todo, en fin un gran clásico de Candlemass

this brings me so much joy in every way. the solo, the vocals, the MV. its a masterpiece, I'm bewitched.

also Dead from Mayhem makes a tiny appearance, can't forget that ;)

His hair had its own coffin

I am infinitely impressed. I'm a black guy who listens to rap. this dude is dope as fuck.❤❤❤❤❤

This goes so hard. Best music video ever

I like how Dead looks like as if he was really dead

6:42 me and the boys on our way to kill euronymous

The dance got me 😂

I cannot believe how long this goes on for...

3:05 Me approaching women

This video is hilarious to me because the singer is trying to be intimidating, but I can't get over how adorable he is :)

dead was geeked af in this music video 😭🙏

Still one of my favorite metal songs of all time.
