Widely hailed as a cornerstone of doom metal, Epicus Doomicus Metallicus marked Candlemass’s debut in 1986 and instantly set them apart from their contemporaries with its powerful, baritone vocals and mesmerizing, dramatic riffs. The band’s operatic approach and deliberate pacing forged a new path in the genre, drawing listeners into expansive melodies influenced by classical music and pre-Renaissance themes.
This 2022 reissue stays true to the original’s timeless atmosphere, featuring bold, flawless drum work and hauntingly drawn-out compositions that have inspired decades of heavy music. Fans old and new will find plenty to admire in the album’s dramatic soundscapes and enduring influence on the evolution of rock and metal.
