Grammy-nominated doom pioneers CANDLEMASS have unveiled the title track of their upcoming EP, ‘Black Star’, out May 9 via Napalm Records. The EP impressively marks the 40th anniversary of the legendary band.
Following the title track, the second new song, ‘Corridors Of Chaos’, marks a true old-school instrumental containing both classic metal riffing and stunning guitar playing by Lars Johansson, showcasing the band’s mastery of dynamics.
Adding to this tribute, CANDLEMASS delivers a cover of BLACK SABBATH‘s iconic ‘Sabbath Bloody Sabbath’, taking listeners back to 1973. This is followed by their rendition of PENTAGRAM‘s classic ‘Forever My Queen’, further cementing CANDLEMASS‘s remarkable contribution to shaping the genre into what it is today.
