Swedish doom legends Candlemass celebrate their 40th anniversary with the title track of their new EP, 'Black Star'. Packed with canyon-deep riffs, "Black Star" seamlessly merges haunting melodies with deeply introspective lyrics, brought to life by the inimitable voice of Johan L?ngqvist.
Written by genre-defying mastermind Leif Edling, it delves into themes of existential struggle, temptation, and the allure of darkness - delivering an intense atmosphere imbued with Candlemass' signature sound.
The second new track, "Corridors Of Chaos", is a purely instrumental number that combines classic metal riffing with the filigree guitar playing of Lars Johansson and highlights Candlemass' extra class in terms of dynamics. Candlemass also deliver a cover version of Black Sabbath's legendary "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath", catapulting their listeners back to 1973. The interpretation of the Pentagram classic "Forever My Queen" rounds off Black Star in a fitting manner and fuels anticipation for the next decades of doom metal dominance!
