Their First four albums Epicus Doomicus Metallicus, Nightfall, Ancient Dreams, Tales of Creation are flawless, and its very difficult to choose the best from these bests.
So defn there must be many Candlemass and epic doom metal fans around with views for this Epic band.
(Arguing If Candlemass was the first doom metal band or weather Epicus Doomicus Metallicus was the first doom metal album is what most of the times is discussed and i would recommend to keep away frm these "Arguable" issues)
Views About the band, albums and Fav tracks, news etc Post On....

Ok, I see that the samples have already grown on me (Of Stars & Smoke...). OT: What should I get from Solitude Aeturnus? Only have Alone so far.

24.10.2008 - 13:50 Written by Guest on 24.10.2008 at 13:17 You should get EVERYTHING form SA imo although Alone is darker than their earlier works (especially their first two) and the production on Downfall is very muddled which ruins the album quite a lot although the songs on it are good.

18.01.2009 - 00:37 Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 24.10.2008 at 18:05 I don't know ... I tried so many times to listen to the s/t and it didn't grown o me I just didn't feel anything... Maybe I need to listen to it a little bit more. Hey, and guess what. I was thinking about you when I was in the city with my family just today. We were looking for some clothes and stuff and then I see a woman that looked like 40-45 years old and she had a Candlemass t-shirt [from the first cd... I love that skull] and a black jacket... She looked more tr00 and brutal than me And... then you came to my mind with the same t-shirt but looking even more true.

18.01.2009 - 15:59 Written by Guest on 18.01.2009 at 15:51 Yes I have it here since December 27th and really enjoy it. It is way spookier than anything done by Candlemass or Krux and the emphasis is a lot more on the keyboard/organ sound.

Damn... I'm so obsessed with the song "Of Stars And Smoke". Rob did really an awesome job on the chorus... It almost med me cry or something. Really touching stuff. I will buy that album no matter what. I still can't see the greatness of the s/t... I found it decent at best @___@

18.01.2009 - 16:33 Written by X-Ray Rod on 18.01.2009 at 16:18 I never said the S/T was great just said you should get it. King Of The Grey Islands is superior to the s/t imo. But the s/t is better than Tales Of Creation, Chapter VI, and Dactylus... I think you're confusing me with SOuthern Wind when it comes to the s/t one.

I have already seen some other people on this forum that say that the s/t is freaking good and same goes to all the reviws on MA [I know.. not good reviews] but I still don't understand the fuss.

Am I the only one that feels that Candlemass is going more into the direction of (US) Power Metal? Iced Earth, mostly (but perhaps that's because I don't know much other US power...) The riffs are shorter, Rob Lowe's vocal lines are not as drawn out and wailing as those of Messiah and Lanqvuist, the music has lost heaviness through crushing riffs, and more through speed, in my opinion. No, I'm not saying that they are now Power metal and exactly the same as Helloween, I'm saying that they are growing slightly more into that direction. What do you all think?

26.03.2009 - 13:50 Written by Lucas on 19.01.2009 at 21:08 I think it gets more groove but as of power metal no. Messiah's operatic falsetto like vocals sound way more suitable for a power metal band imo. I also discoverd that Messiah actually also played in a doom/power band Memento Mori.

27.03.2009 - 14:44 Written by Guest on 27.03.2009 at 14:20 Not doom just because they have faster tracks? Or what? Cause every single album by them is undisputed doom except for a couple of moments, but that's it.

Of corse new albumsd isnt like 80's but its still doom, I hear new album, I didnt hear so strong US power influences, ok it wasnt slow like pure doom, but still its doom metal, in that case Black Sabbath after Ozzy n Dio isnt doom

Account deleted Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 27.03.2009 at 14:44 Heh, not doom because it's just not doom. There's very little doomy content about their music nowadays. People get too attached to with tagging specific titles despite changes in style.

30.03.2009 - 17:30 Written by Guest on 30.03.2009 at 10:35 It still is doom their newer works, just a different style of doom than on their old albums. If, for example, the last two albums aren't doom, then nothing in the world is dooom anymore OKay so there are a couple of songs that have very little doomy content but 90% of their songs sure as hell still do possess it.
