A message from Swedish doom metallers Candlemass' bassist Leif Edling considering their forthcoming album:

"Yes, the album is ready! We’ve worked on it all autumn and it feels really good that it is completed.

The sound is superfat, heavy as hell, and very organic/dynamic at the same time. Our friend Chris has done a great job mixing it!! I personally think this album is the best one of the three we have released in the new millennium!! Easy!! It is bigger, better, louder and a bit more mature I must say!! It is our 'Heaven and Hell', hehe… And if you guys behave and eat your vegetables we just might be able to add a couple of soundbits here on the C-mass site. Maybe the wait for the release in May next year will be easier. Check the band's page sometime before x-mass…

The only thing that pisses me off is the fact that we can’t call it 'HAMMER OF DOOM', after one of the songs on it. A brand new stoopid festival in germany calls themselves that! Who spilled the beans???

Well, well… The albums absolutely KILLS and we will surely come up with a suitable name for it.

Cheers, Leif"
