Swedish Doom Metal from 1987

To my great surprise, i read this weekend that DMF (dynamo metal festival) announced that Candlemass would be integrally playing their live album on this years edition on the Dutch festival. This announcement

Since Easter is upon us, doom is the perfect companion. For me, it is anyway. I listen to it all the time. I have called candlemass "the grandfathers of doom" for 20 years now. And I think it

The roots of doom metal undesputedly leads back to Black Sabbath. But it used to be a very narrow genre where you could almost count the major contributors on one hand. Candlemass was one of these contibutors.
