Experience the electricity of a live CANDLEMASS performance straight from your home! The Swedish Grammis award-winning/US Grammy-nominated doom metal legends are scheduled to host their very first livestreaming concert – a special performance to be broadcast from Studio Gröndahl in Stockholm, Sweden. The livestream will take place this coming Friday, July 3 at 8:00 PM CEST/2:00 PM EDT/11:00 AM PDT or Sat, July 4 @ 4.00am AEST (Sydney time).
Produced by Blackbox, the livestream will be of professional quality and will feature multiple camera angles to add to the experience.
Tickets for the livestreaming concert can be purchased via THIS LOCATION, which is also the location to view the stream itself day-of-show. Fans who are unable to tune in at the time of the livestream can still purchase a ticket and replay the performance as many times as they wish for a limited time.
CANDLEMASS will perform selections from their renowned catalog – including tracks from their recent album The Door To Doom and EP The Pendulum – and have hinted at trying out new material as well.
Bassist Leif Edling says: “Most of our live gigs during 2020 have been cancelled or moved to a later date in 2021. A disappointing fact for both fans and band, so we’re very happy to announce that CANDLEMASS will perform live to give you all an evening of Epic Doom ‘N Gloom very soon! I got some really cool riffs that would be great to jam away on that evening. Why not offer the fans something new that nobody ever heard before? Make the livestream a bit more interesting.”
CANDLEMASS’ latest full-length, the Marcus Jidell-produced The Door To Doom, follows the plot line mastermind, songwriter and bass player Leif Edling established in the past years: epic world class doom metal that relies on slow mammoth riffing. The album features the Grammy-nominated track “Astorolus – The Great Octopus”, featuring legendary Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi (watch the official music video HERE).
CANDLEMASS swiftly followed up in March 2020 with their latest EP, The Pendulum, featuring a fine selection of never-before-heard, unused tracks cut from the The Door To Doom recording sessions. The Pendulum perfectly showcases that these timeless Swedish pioneers are the undisputed kings of epic doom, featuring singles “The Pendulum” and “Porcelain Skull”. Leading the listener through a maze of frenzied riffing, accented by Johan Langquist’s distinctive vocals, the EP reinforces the melancholy sound that has proven CANDLEMASS to be a heavy metal staple.
