CANDLEMASS Launch New Video For EP Title Track "Black Star" By Larry Petro, News Monkey Sunday, April 6, 2025 @ 7:45 AM
"Black Star" seamlessly merges haunting melodies with deeply introspective lyrics, brought to life by the inimitable voice of Johan Langqvist. Written by genre-defying mastermind Leif Edling, it delves into themes of existential struggle, temptation, and the allure of darkness - an intense atmosphere imbued with CANDLEMASS' signature sound. The single arrives with a dark, atmospheric music video.

CANDLEMASS comments, ""Black Star" is the big heavy track. Contains a bit of everything, Melodic verse, monolithic riff, up-tempo SABBATHy mid part, grand ending a la RAINBOW!."

Following the title track, the second original 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' remarkable contribution to shaping the genre into what it is today.
