Celebrating 40 Years of Doom Metal Excellence!
Candlemass pays homage to the iconic “Sabbath Bloody Sabbath” by Black Sabbath with their stunning cover. Dive into the official music video and experience the Swedish epic doom metal legends’ take on this timeless classic. This milestone coincides with the release of their latest four-track EP, “Black Star”, available now via Napalm Records.
Candlemass infuses “Sabbath Bloody Sabbath” with a solemn intensity that transforms the track into a grand, funeral march, deeply worthy of their place in doom metal’s highest echelons. Leif Edling shares, “‘Sabbath Bloody Sabbath‘ needs no introduction, one of the best songs ever recorded if you ask me. Maybe not the obvious choice, but it’s been a dream for me to do it one day and here it is! Our rendition of ‘S.B.S.’ (Mass Bloody Mass?)”
The “Black Star” EP features a mix of new compositions and revered classics, including:
1. “Black Star”
2. “Corridors of Chaos” – An instrumental track displaying classic metal riffing and stellar guitar work by Lars Johansson, along with their rendition of Pentagram’s “Forever My Queen.”
