More Info
Candlemass was formed by bassist & songwriter Leif Edling in Stockholm,
Sweden in 1984 & are well known for their epic doom metal, having a great
influence over a generation of the genre's subsequent greats such as Paradise
Lost & My Dying Bride - Candlemass themselves taking a large influence from
Black Sabbath.
Chapter VI' was the ffth Candlemass studio album & was originally released in
1992. After a string of classic doom metal releases, beginning with 1986's iconic
& genre-defning 'Epicus Doomicus Metallicus' , this was the first album to make a
diversion from the pure doom metal style of the band & was the first release
following the departure of popular vocalist Messiah Marcolin, with main writer
Leif Edling bringing in Tomas Vikstrom for vocal duties.
Chapter VI' is known for its heavier metal-based style to the tracks & high-quality
rifng; evidently more traditional metal inspired on this album. Includes
Candlemass favourites 'The Ebony Throne' & 'Where The Runes Still Speak.
