In a world where doom metal reigns supreme, Candlemass once again proves why they are kings of the genre with their latest album Ashes To Ashes.
This Swedish outfit has been churning out heavy, haunting riffs since the 1980s, and they show no signs of slowing down.
From the moment the opening track "The Pendulum" kicks in, you know you're in for a wild ride.
The band's trademark sound is on full display here - crushing guitars, thunderous drums, and vocals that soar to the heavens.
It's like being trapped in a haunted cathedral with the volume cranked up to 11.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Snakes of Goliath", a sprawling epic that clocks in at over 10 minutes.
It's a masterclass in doom metal, with intricate guitar work and a sense of foreboding that never lets up.
And let's not forget the spine-tingling vocals of Johan Längquist, whose voice gives me chills every time.
But it's not all doom and gloom on Ashes To Ashes.
The band also knows how to inject a bit of melody and even a touch of humour into their music.
Tracks like "Dry Bones" and "House of Doom" showcase a lighter side to Candlemass, proving that they can be both heavy and playful at the same time.
Overall, Ashes To Ashes is a triumph for Candlemass, a band that continues to push the boundaries of doom metal while staying true to their roots.
If you're a fan of heavy music with a touch of theatrics, this album is not to be missed.
Trust me, you won't be disappointed.
