理石胶。35周年纪念版。

Marking 35 years of the fourth studio album from the Swedish godfathers of doom.

Candlemass was formed by bassist and 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 and Candlemass, and 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 and 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, and 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, and is presented on limited marble-effect vinyl.
