Background information über 'Sweet Evil Sun'

After nearly four decades of crushing souls and defining the very essence of epic doom metal, Candlemass returns with "Sweet Evil Sun", a monumental testament to their enduring power. Reunited with original vocalist Johan Langquist, the Swedish legends have crafted an album that perfectly balances their classic sound with modern production values. The opening track "Wizard Of The Vortex" immediately establishes the album's commanding presence with a riff so devastatingly heavy it feels like a summoning spell. The title track follows with ominous guitar feedback before unleashing a sludgy, crushing riff that showcases Langquist's incredible vocal range as he navigates melancholic passages and infectious choruses.

The album explores themes of ambition, strife, hope and failure through ten carefully constructed tracks that demonstrate why Candlemass remains unmatched in their field. "Scandinavian Gods" delivers a perfect blend of Nordic mythology and classic rock influences, while "When Death Sighs" features a stunning duet with Jennie-Ann Smith from Avatarium, creating theatrical atmosphere backed by rising organs and marching rhythms. Producer Marcus Jidell has captured the band's massive, smoky guitar tones and larger-than-life vocals with exceptional clarity, making this 18-month labor of love sound absolutely massive. The artwork by Erik Rovanperä perfectly complements the music's dark grandeur, proving that after almost 40 years, these Swedish doom masters show no signs of creative decline.

For fans of: Black Sabbath, Saint Vitus, Solitude Aeturnus, Reverend Bizarre and Pallbearer
