@metalpsips No, it is Johan, not Messiah. You would know if it was Messiah since his vibrato is very unique, his voice is higher than Johan's and he is huge compared to Johan. If you don't believe me search Johan Candlemass 20 Year Anniversary in Google. Also, Messiah did not even perform at this 20 year anniversary show.
2:27-2:57 That riff is something unique as far as we're talking about inspiration and originality. I undoubtfuly believe that this sole riff played the most important role in what we perceive as "doom" ( in metal music). Ofc it steps on certain scales ( that "doomy" songs may be played in) and has characteristics of bitter music written before EDM be it metal or else but... The combination of the doom aura, epicness and power it hides within itself is something unique again.
this is from the dvd 20th aniversary of candlemass ...johan lanquist never played this song live with the band until now .. great singer ,too bad he didn.t continued with candlemass after epicus....i am posting this message because today i bought this dvd and it is great!!!..it is no1 in Romania at dvd sales....long live metal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
best doom metal band ever period. tales of creation nightfall epicus ancient dreams all of them are doom classics. no doom band even comes close to the mighty candlemass.
man you bring back memories of the Epicus Doomicus Metallicus.... Lanquist...great singer and of course Leif Endling the heart of Candlemass... Doom Eternally...!!!
I remember reading somewhere that Johan didn't want to stay on board, because he was kind of shy and didn't really feel comfortable touring all over the world in front of large numbers of people. Messiah was trying to get into the band while the band was still begging for Johan to stay. Candlemass, for a long time, didn't even want Messiah. He practically forced himself into the band by moving into the apartment next to door to Lief Edling.
i've heard only few songs from candlemass, but i think that is one of the best metal bands with one of the best singers i've ever heard...and i think tha nevermore's singer is trying to emulate him
To my knowledge, the band did all they could to make him stay, it was his choice to leave for his own reasons. However, Messiah is one of the best singers in metal, powerful doom metal voice, the best choice they could have made was Messiah Marcolin. Hail to Candlemass.
Candlemass is a great band.One of my favorites.If Langqvist didn't want to be in Candlemass he should have known better (by the way he trully is a superb vocalist,but I wouldn't want to see him sing pop :-) )...
What the hell is Langqvist even doing nowadays? Or ever since he sung on EDM? Yeah, he has to realize himself that was his finest hour and get his ass on the band..
To my knowledge, Candlemass did everything they could to keep him in the band after Epicus, but Langqvist didn't want to be in Candlemass cause he had a pop project or sth.
It is like 7 hrs from where my brother and I live but it's fucking worth it..........ARRGGGGGGGGGGG...........we have been wainting for so lonnnnng...........and finally the Sorcerer's Pledge will rise.......
@doomster2 whats the differnce because my brother always says black metal and doom metal are both just other names ofr death metal, but that dosent sound right to me

ohhhhh :D fkin nice metal .. thank u i really enjoy it :P it seems to be like old black metal with really beautiful notes and agressivity feeling :P''''
Ok this is directed at acesh00t. I now have a acquired a bottle and lit my black candles I was saving for that infant sacrifice. Just joking...about the infant that is.
I am listening to Epicus and will probably hit the first 4 albums. (my favorites)
I thought after Messiah pulled his bullshit a little while ago that CM would be done. So glad to see this video.
Waited for this momment for the longest time, too bad i was not there to see it. What i dont understand is why he is not with Candlemass in full, they should have choose him instead of the Solitude Aeternus guy. Great, Thanks for sharing.
since they haven't fought (like with messiah) with this guy, why didn't they get him back? epicus doomicus metalicus is one the best metal albums ever!!!
Actually is HIM that never wanted to be with the band. Or any band. He was a session vocalist for their first album, but refused to stay as much as they wanted him to. I think it had to do with his dislike of touring and all that comes with life on the tour bus! Too bad, he has a charismatic baritone voice...
thanx for the info man!!! by the way anyone who hasn't checked out their new album (K.O.T.G.I.) do it NOW! it seriously kicks ass and robert lowe's voice has matched perfectly with their new songs despite the fact that this album was written for messiah's voice! DOOM TO ALL
no fucking way a Messiah Marcolin best ever!

His voice...
He doesn't even need to hit every note; he can be off pitch and still give me goosebumps (obviously) because he sings with such genuine emotion.
An attribute given to very few men.
