Bands such as Paradise Lost \u0026amp; My Dying Bride to this day rate 'Epicus...' among their most inspirational albums.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Epicus Doomicus Metallicus' is a true classic. Heavy metal riffs blended with almost neo-classical touches, plus some theatrical elements recalling bands like Mercyful Fate (thought to be another influence). All-in-all, this is considered one of the definitive Doom Metal releases. 'Epicus…' was recorded at Thunderload Studios in 1986 \u0026amp; was released later that same year. The vocals were handled by Johan Längqvist, before the iconic vocalist Messiah Marcolin became a solid fixture in the band until the early nineties. Candlemass instantly became a great inspiration to countless metal bands upon the album’s release in 1986; a time when thrash metal, not doom, was fast becoming the dominant style in both Europe \u0026amp; the US.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis edition of 'Epicus Doomicus Metallicus' features recently remastered audio courtesy of Patrick Engel at Temple of Disharmony \u0026amp; is presented with its original sleeve design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSide A:\u003cbr\u003e1.
