Candlemass are a Swedish Sweden doom metal band established in the 1980s by Leif Edling (bass bass guitar ), their leader and songwriter. The band is originally from Stockholm. After releasing five full-length albums and touring extensively throughout the 1980s and early 1990s, Candlemass disbanded in 1993, but decided to reform four years later. The band continues to record and perform today. [read more] - I Still See The Black
