Nice doomy heavy metal from the Swedes
of Candlemass. It might not be in My Dying Bride class but it is not far from
it. The music is gloomy and sad as it should be and so are the lyrics. From
time to time it sounds a little like the newer Katatonia (also from Sweden)
with some sound touches from Anathema, one of the first big doom bands in the
world. The singer Björn Flodkvist has a nice voice but sometimes when he
screams it doesn´t sound very good. This recording is also a little uneven as
some of the songs like "I Still See The Black" and "Karthago" are really
great with some nice heavy riffing but some of the other songs are sometimes a
little too noisy.
The members of Candlemass are doubtless very skilled
musicians and it sort of feels like they could have done better than this. It
is however a good album, better than average, and is really worth buying if
you like heavy melodic doom. The album was produced by the bass player Leif
Edling, who also wrote all the tracks on the album, and recorded at the
Swedish Radio Broadcasting Corporation Studio 4 by Uffe
Östling.
