Candlemass was formed by bassist and songwriter Leif Edling in Stockholm, Sweden in 1984, and is well known for it's epic doom metal, having a great influence over a generation of the genre's subsequent greats - Candlemass themselves taking a large influence from Black Sabbath. Epicus Doomicus Metallicus is a true genre classic, with every track a monument of timeless and finely crafted Doom. This is one of the quintessential, definitive Doom Metal releases, immortalizing the band in the annals of music history. Now, marking 35 years of the iconic debut, this deluxe triple vinyl release includes a new remastered version of the album itself, as well as a collection of Candlemass' essential 1985 recordings made on the run up to the Epicus... session, in the form of the 'Witchcraft' demo plus the OAL studio recordings, and completed by the band's Upplands Väsby rehearsal from November of 1985. Each vinyl is presented with it's own sleeve, with the Epicus Doomicus Metallicus LP containing a layout closely reflecting the original edition, with images used on it's initial pressings.
