Candlemass were formed by bassist and songwriter Leif Edling in Stockholm, Sweden in 1984, well known for their epic doom metal, they have hugely influenced a generation of the genre's subsequent greats - Candlemass themselves taking a large influence from Black Sabbath.
Chapter VI was the fifth Candlemass studio album and was originally released in 1992. After a string of classic doom metal releases, this was the first album to move away from a pure doom metal style into a more classic heavy metal stlye, and was the first release to follow the departure of vocalist Messiah Marcolin, replaced by Tomas Vikstrom. The album includes Candlemass favourites 'The Ebony Throne' and 'Where The Runes Still Speak'. |
