Candlemass 'Tales Of Creation (35th Anniversary Edition)' LP

Candlemass was formed by bassist & songwriter Leif Edling in Stockholm, Sweden in 1984, well known for their epic doom metal, they have hugely influenced a generation of the genre's subsequent greats - Candlemass themselves taking a large influence from Black Sabbath.

'Tales Of Creation' was Candlemass' fourth studio album, originally released in 1989. The album was produced by Mats Lindfors & Candlemass & was recorded at Stockholm Recording studios. This release sees Messiah Marcolin (handling vocal duties for the final time on a Candlemass album), alongside composer & long-standing member Leif Edling, create a stunning soundscape of epic atmosphere & melodic passages - a continued progression from these undisputed pioneers of the scene. Candlemass consistently build upon their Sabbath inspired foundations set on the 'Epicus Doomicus Metallicus' debut album from 1986; with 'Tales Of Creation' even containing a reworking of the 'Under The Oak' epic from said album & the release concludes what many regard as the finest period for the band, spanning four albums of extremely high-quality doom.

This edition of 'Tales Of Creation' marks 35 years since its original release & is presented on limited marble-effect vinyl.
