ALSO INCLUDES 8 PAGE BOOKLET, A2 POSTER, &amp; LETTER PRINT FROM FOUNDER LEIF EDLING<\/p>\n<p>Candlemass was formed by bassist &amp; songwriter Leif Edling in Stockholm, Sweden in 1984, &amp; is well known for its epic doom metal, having a great influence over a generation of the genre&#8217;s subsequent greats &#8211; Candlemass themselves taking a large influence from Black Sabbath.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Epicus Doomicus Metallicus&#8217; is a true genre classic, with every track a monument of timeless &amp; finely crafted Doom. This is one of the quintessential, definitive Doom Metal releases, immortalising the band in the annals of music history &amp; creating the foundations of a legacy spanning over thirty-five years. Going against the grain of bands at the time using speed to bolster their metal with the ongoing rise of thrash in Europe &amp; the US, Candlemass eschewed this direction &amp; formed a phenomenon of their own through the latter part of the decade &amp; beyond with their slow &amp; spellbinding atmospherics. \u2018Epicus\u2026\u2019 was recorded at Thunderload Studios in 1986 &amp; was released later that same year, with the grand &amp; inspiring vocals for the debut handled by Johan L\u00e4ngqvist.<\/p>\n<p>Now, marking 35 years of the iconic debut, this deluxe triple vinyl release includes a new remastered version of the album itself, as well as a collection of Candlemass\u2019 essential 1985 recordings made on the run up to the \u2018Epicus\u2026\u2019 session, in the form of the \u2018Witchcraft\u2019 demo plus the OAL studio recordings, &amp; completed by the band\u2019s \u2018Upplands V\u00e4sby\u2019 rehearsal from November of 1985.<\/p>\n<p>Each vinyl is presented with its own sleeve, with the \u2018Epicus Doomicus Metallicus\u2019 LP containing a layout closely reflecting the original edition, with images used on its initial pressings. The set also includes an 8-page 12\u201d booklet with images from the era &amp; accompanying text, plus A2 poster, as well as a handwritten letter print from founder Leif Edling.<\/p>\n<p>Tracklist:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ng-star-inserted\">\n<li class=\"ng-star-inserted\">\n<ul>\n<li class=\"ng-star-inserted\">1.
