Description:
*Classic debut album from Doom Metal legends "Candlemass" re issued on Peaceville records with bonus disc.
*Epicus Doomicus Metallicus is a true classic. Every track is undeniably strong - heavy metal riffs blended with almost neo-classical touches at times, plus some theatrical elements bringing to mind bands like Mercyful Fate (thought to be another influence). This is one of the definitive Doom metal releases, immortalising them alongside early developers of the style such as the US band, Pentagram.
*Candlemass instantly became a great inspiration to countless metal bands upon the album’s release in 1986; a time when thrash metal, not doom, was fast becoming the dominant style in both Europe and the US. Bands such as Paradise Lost & My Dying Bride rate the album very highly to this day - Paradise Lost particularly ranking ‘Epicus…’ among their favourite albums ever.
*This edition of ‘Epicus…’ contains a bonus CD with live tracks of Candlemass classics taken from a performance in Birmingham, 1988, many taken from ‘Epicus…’.
