Burzum!! you said they were your number 1 black metal!

Bloodied yet unbowed is one of the greatest songs of all time. Candlemass is also my favourite kind of doom

many thanks! and yeah me too....

Great episode! Love Candlemass, Pentagram, Saint Vitus, and Trouble! For those who haven't done so yet the Maryland Doom Scene in the United States is well worth checking out, especially in and around Frederick MD which btw host The Maryland Doom Fest every year in June.

Hellhammer/Celtic Frost next!!!

A friend bought Nightfall when it was released, and I was instantly hooked when I heard it. I bought Epicus a year or so later and it is still one of my all time favourite albums. Chapter VI is indeed a brilliant album, we just didn't realize it at the time. Candlemass = Messiah back then, so a new singer popping up made it harder to get into the album. Nowadays, love it! Cheers!

Thanks for your metal uptake nice to know a bit more of a band I listen to, hope you do many more

Mike Wead!

Chapter VI is an amazing record, so underrated but still one of the best metal albums of the 90s. easily.

great Dio vibes on that album.....love it

They played Dark Mofo in Hobart, Tasmania in 2019. A one off show and no other Australian dates so we flew over from Melbourne. Ran into them at the pub the afternoon of the show and felt like a little kid seeing my heroes. The show was brilliant. Not sure if Dark Mofo will ever recover post Covid but perhaps the most inspired festival I have been to (arts festival as opposed to a metal festival). The following night we saw Mystifier and in 2022 saw Triumph Of Death and Triptykon. Again, brilliant.

Totally see that Candlemass DNA in Primordial. Didn't think about it but that grandiosity to the folk and melancholic underpinnings apart from Quorthon is definitely Candlemass inspired (but not derived ie non-derivative). Somewhere all archetypal metal converges on a specific strand of descent and spirit.

Ya can't go wrong with CANDLEMASS. I'm also a big fan of TROUBLE and other Eric Wagner (R.I.P.) led bands and Scott "Wino" Weinrich's multiple bands, projects over the years also the Frederick MD Doom scene among many, many others. So if I may be so bold to I have a program suggestion or series of programs for you, Alan. I think it would be great if you started doing shows on certain metal scenes or countries. It would not only be interesting to get your views, but it would help spread the word on such. For example, even though I have a very good collection of albums from the beginning of heavy music in the late 60's to nowadays and like any other true music fan and collector I'm still discovering and adding to my knowledge and collection all the time but as for instance your knowledge of old eastern block countries metal scenes and bands is far superior to mine and I'm sure it would enlightened not only me but many others and put a well deserved spotlight on those bands and scenes. Again, just a suggestion (wish). And as always, love the show and Long Live PRIMORDIAL!

I adore all of Candlemasses 80s output.All ten out of tens for me.But Solitude Aeturnus we’re beyond perfection.I think “into the depths of sorrow”is possibly my all time favourite albums along with Bathorys “Under the sighn “

can't argue.....well sort of....

What about a look at the 80s and 90s Irish metal scene. Not exactly bursting with bands but across the spectrum of doom, death, black and thrash there are gems to be found and discussed. Arcane Sun, MB, Morphosis, Geasa, Abaddon Incarnate, Cruachan...

The day of retribution is 1984, still very early though.

sure....but they started in 82....I think is what I meant

Just trawling through your channel, glad I found your good self . I am an old metal head (49) and I suspected there might be Irish lads doing what you do and hey presto the universe delivers... thank you👌

Great episode, Alan. Maybe one on Trouble.. soon? Also, wondering what color and label your "Samarithan" 7inch is? The one I have is red and on Axis.

good point....just normal I think

Another great episode. I'm totally with you on From The 13th Sun, very underrated record and actually one of the Candlemass albums I listen to the most even though it doesn't sound anything like the classic Candlemass stuff

I saw them in Boston last March and they were phenomenal live; "Solitude" and "Demon's Gate" is one of the best encores have ever witnessed. My favorite live act of 2023 easily.

im ashamed i didnt see that nightfall gig at grieghallen, needed to take break and missed this. By all acounts it might have been one of highlights of BTG

Cannot wait to watch this! Thanks Alan!

Candlemass is by far the best doom band in existence.Langquist's first band Jonah Quizz was great too, not doom, but great early swedish heavy metal

Really enjoyed that, thanks. I agree on the current incarnation of the live band, see them while you can! I'm looking forward to seeing them again in two weeks along with solitude aeturnus for the first time!

solitude in Texas right?...jealous

My introduction to doom metal, what a fantastic band.

Interested in terms of that sludgy/classical doom metal divide, where you'd put Saint Vitus and if you'd ever be enough of a fan to consider them for one of these

Nightfall was so amazing, it's really better than anything priest, maiden and bands like that ever put out still it's not rated as high somehow. Great video! cheers!

Niiiiice. I guess that Black Sabbath name on the back is a sign. Sign of The Great Debate with Addi about Sabbath.

Had the same Tiamat shirt looong time ago :)

Could you please do Mystifier 👍

I caught Candlemass live at the Marquee club in the Nightfall tour, the gig was completely sold out but I managed to bribe a bouncer with a fiver to sneek me round the back!

What are your top 10 Doom Metal albums Alan?

When are we gonna see an episode for Sodom or Sepultura?
