Johan Lanquist was the quintessential Candlemass singer, not Messiah Marcolin. Marcolin practically forced himself into the band. I may love Messiah’s voice (vibrato from hell!!!) but I’ve gotta give credit where it’s due.

With that said, Lowe is a damn fine replacement. One of the best doom vocalists I’ve ever heard.

On Rob Lowe: “He sounds like an evil nobleman, a diabolical aristocrat spreading his will amongst lesser beings.”

This couldn’t have been more aptly stated. Great review, and a winner of an album.

Excellent review for an excellent album. I like this band with Lowe more than without him.

“King…” was better. No track can top Embracing the Styx.

“survuved” the switch in vocalists. ha

never could get into Candlemass. I have Ancient Dreams, can’t get past that second track. I love doom, but they snooze me every time.
