20th anniversary edition (180g) with new master. Candlemass is a Swedish doom metal band formed in Upplands Väsby,
a suburb of Stockholm, in 1984 by bassist, songwriter, and bandleader Leif Edling, alongside drummer Matz Ekström. The
band has had a defining influence on doom metal, with the epic doom genre itself taking its name from their debut album
Epicus Doomicus Metallicus. Along with Pentagram, Saint Vitus, and Trouble, Candlemass has been recognized as one
of the "big four of doom metal". In November 2004, the band announced their second reunion. They recorded a new
album, simply titled Candlemass, and it was released in May 2005. The album earned them a Swedish Grammy that year.
