Candlemass "s/t" (2005) [Polar Rough Mix, 20th Anniversary Crystal White Black Splatter Vinyl] 2LP

Candlemass - a name forged in darkness, a legacy built on doom. Born from the cold shadows of Stockholm in 1985, this Swedish titan of epic doom metal has stood as a monolithic force for nearly four decades. In 2025, Candlemass marks 40 years of sorrow-laden grandeur, a testament to their unwavering reign over the genre they helped shape.

Their journey began with the seismic release of Epicus Doomicus Metallicus (1986), a requiem that redefined heavy music, followed by the monumental Nightfall - both now sacred texts in the annals of doom. These albums remain cornerstones of a genre that thrives in the echoes of Candlemass' somber majesty.

Despite doom's reputation for slow, crushing weight, Candlemass themselves show no signs of slowing down. Relentless and untamed, they continue to storm stages worldwide, bringing their towering hymns to devoted Candlemaniacs from Tokyo to Los Angeles. With Grammy® win in Sweden and a U.S. Grammy® nomination in 2019, the band's fire still burns with undiminished intensity.

Originally released in 2005, Candlemass is the eighth studio album from Candlemass. The 2025 20th Anniversary reissue is remixed and contains four additional demo tracks.
