Candlemass - Coming Of Nightfall The (Turquoise

Facts Limited turquoise colored vinyl LP pressing. Candlemass, formed by bassist and songwriter Leif Edling in Stockholm four decades ago, is well known for it's influential Epic Doom Metal sound, which itself evolved out of the masterful Black Sabbath. Following the legendary and genre defining debut, 'Epicus Doomicus Metallicus' (1986), 'Nightfall' was released just one year later, resulting in another all-time classic; an album instrumental in shaping the scene that still exists to this day with it's unrivalled melodic Heavy Doom. On 'Nightfall', joining bass player and main songwriter Leif Edling was vocalist Jan Alfredo Marcolin, better known as Messiah Marcolin, who became a well-established and highly regarded vocalist throughout the Metal world, with his powerful, theatrical tones establishing him as an iconic presence in the band until his departure in the early 1990s. As an essential piece of history for any fans of early period Candlemass, 'The Coming of Nightfall' presents a series of studio outtakes and alternate early mixes of album tracks from what was to become the eventual classic 'Nightfall' release.
