Genre-defining Swedish Grammis award-winning and US Grammy-nominated doom metal legends CANDLEMASS, led by band mastermind Leif Edling, are about to release their long awaited, earth- shaking new full-length album, Sweet Evil Sun (November 18, 2022). The first single, “Scandinavian Gods”, stomps in as a dark, Nordic metal chant driven by slow and heavy drums, droning guitars and majestic vocals that tell the mysterious tales of Scandinavian mythology to the next generation!
With releases like Epicus Doomicus Metallicus (1986) and Nightfall (1987) to their names, Swedish Grammis award-winning and US Grammy-nominated godfathers of epic doom metal, CANDLEMASS, are just coming off of headlining this year’s Decibel Metal & Beer Fest in the US! Now, with their new album, Sweet Evil Sun (out November 18), and its title track, they carry the torch of heavy doom to the next level and showcase that, after almost 40 years of existence, their creativity sees no bounds!
Celebrating almost 40 years of doom metal mastery, Swedish Grammis award-winning and US Grammy- nominated doom metal legends CANDLEMASS commemorate the release of their 13th full-length album, Sweet Evil Sun, with the epic third single ""When Death Sighs”, featuring Jennie-Ann Smith of Swedish progressive rock/doom metal unit Avatarium. She accents the song’s shimmering, blood-freezing chorus lines before the haunting atmosphere is highlighted by an amazing guitar solo that reads like a story!
