CANDLEMASS: Ancient Dreams

£43.00

Doom metal in full funeral march style: slow, heavy and melodramatic with a voice that sounds like an opera singer summoned from a crypt.

The Swedes refine their epic formula here - long, brooding riffs and dramatic choruses dominate, with standout moments in Mirror Mirror and Darkness in Paradise.

Production isn’t exactly thunderous, and opinions vary on consistency, but if your metal soundtrack needs weight, atmosphere and doom-laden gravitas, this will pin you to the carpet.
