CANDLEMASS · Dactylis Glomerata (Re-Release) | 2CD

Re-Release + ABSTRAKT ALGEBRA-II unreleased Album as Bonus-CD.

Background information about ''

Candlemass delivers something truly special with "Dactylis Glomerata", a haunting exploration of doom metal that showcases the Swedish masters at their most experimental and introspective. This re-release captures the band during a fascinating period where they pushed beyond their traditional boundaries, weaving together crushing riffs with atmospheric passages that feel both ancient and futuristic. The album's title, referring to a common grass species, might seem mundane but the music is anything but - tracks like "Dustflow" and "Abstrakt Sun" demonstrate the band's ability to create epic soundscapes that stretch beyond conventional song structures.

What makes this edition particularly exciting is the inclusion of the unreleased ABSTRAKT ALGEBRA-II album as a bonus disc. This project, featuring Leif Edling's creative vision outside the traditional Candlemass framework, offers a different perspective on doom metal with tracks like "Bug Queen" and "Blue Wizard" showcasing a more experimental approach. The interplay between familiar Candlemass elements and these more abstract compositions creates a compelling listening experience that rewards both casual fans and devoted followers of the doom metal scene.

For fans of:
Black Sabbath, Saint Vitus, Trouble, Cathedral, and Electric Wizard
