고딩2년때 동네레코드가게에서 자켓만 보고 500원에 구입한빽판이 바로 캔들매스의
나잇폴이었다. 이 앨범은 아직도 개인적으로 즐겨듣는 앨범으로 누가 머라해도 내 생각엔
전작 Epicus Doomicus Metallicus 도 훌륭하지만 이 앨범이 그들의 최고작이다.
곡의 구성력이나 연주등 여러가지 측면에서 흠잡을것이 하나도 없이 느껴지며 단연 최고는
메시아의 보컬이다...둠메탈의 교과서중의 교과서!!!

It's kind of a continuation of Nightfall, what's a really hard thing to do, but this work doesn't lost much compare to the previous album. A 90/100 easily. "Mirror Mirror" is probably the hit of this album for me. The melody sung by Marcolin is sensational. Beautiful song. "A Cry From the Crypt" features a riff that seems to have no conclusion in the first few seconds, which m... Read More

Tales of Creation is the last of Candlemass’ original golden era of albums, and what a fine way to conclude Messiah’s (first) run with the band. The album is a concept album of sorts, focusing on creation, loneliness, introspection and self-love. It may not have a direct overarching story, but there are call-back moments throughout that connect the dots. Musically, it so... Read More

Candlemass deliver the same kind of quality, riff-driven epic Trad Doom as always. Again with Messiah’s intense vocal prowess, the album retains the sound from Nightfall. Ancient Dreams tends to be seen as a drop in quality, but I instead see it as a trade off of sorts. There is no doubt that Ancient Dreams fails to deliver the same highs as Nightfall; however, it also does a... Read More

Candlemass enter one of their most celebrated lineups here with the addition of Messiah and record the great Nightfall. By 1987, Candlemass was pretty much indisputably the best Doom band around, especially solidifying the fact after dropping a follow up album just as amazing as their debut (both of which remain their finest works in most people’s opinion). They continue t... Read More

Epicus Doomicus Metallicus. The name carries immense weight, even before hearing what lies therein. Often given the title of the greatest Doom Metal album of all time, bandleader Leif Edling carries the band with immense riff-writing prowess, and Johan Längqvist wields a powerful, epic operatic bellow. Here, he sets the now solidified trope of epic vocals in Trad Doom. His voi... Read More
