Candlemass Essentials


any fan of doom could sing at least one praise for Candlemass, the Swedish band which has still been releasing and performing heavy music after all these years. the world was given Death Magic Doom this year, which gives a more epic, heavy metal feel to the doomy foreground of Candlemass' past works.
I have compiled the albums which I believe are "essentials" to fans or to those who are prospecting the genre in its many forms. in short, there should be something for every metal fan.

1984 - Witchcraft Demo
1986 - Epicus Doomicus Metallicus
1987 - Nightfall 1 / 2
1988 - Ancient Dreams 1 / 2 / 3
1989 - Tales of Creation
2009 - Death Magic Doom 1 / 2

note: Ancient Dreams contains a bonus disc which includes live tracks as well as a Candlemass interview.
