1987, Johan Langquist had already left Candlemass and the band was searching for a new singer. A guy named Messiah Marcolin, impressed by Candlemass, called Leif Edling and while his stepmother was holding the phone he was playing on the guitar and at the same time singing Candlemass' songs. Edling enchanted by the voice of this mysterious guy with the even more mysterious name invited MArcolin to perform with them in order to check him. This is what the rumours say about how the nocturnal monk with the heavenly voice became part of Candlemass, the rest is history. Read more ›› |

I used to be completely sure that Messiah (or any Candlemass vocalist) can never be as good as Langquist. After hearing Messiah's huge performance on "Gallows End" I'm not that sure anymore, epic stuff.

This could have been on the same level of Epicus Doomicus Metallicus if they had not included the interludes and The Well Of Souls.
---- Crackhead Megadeth reigns supreme.

Not so good as opening album, but still classic doom, epic and amazing.

Great instrumentals but his vocal style isn't to my taste. The video for Bewitched makes Messiah even harder to take seriously

Written by Maco on 19.03.2016 at 03:36 Should probably give this album another proper listening, but as far as I remember I always liked "The Well Of Souls" best here. It's actually the only song I ever come back to from this album.

What the fuck???? The Well Of Souls is one of the BEST songs with Messiah and of the band in general. The main riff is classic!

Written by X-Ray Rod on 20.10.2018 at 15:54 It has many great riffs. I especially like the one Nile used for Unas Slayer Of The Gods.

Hell yeah  this is doom metal the way I like it! Messiah does a good job of continuing the epic vocal style of Johan Langquist and the riffs are foreboding as always!
