@The Dawg No Mr. Dawg I'm mocking them with the name. See doggie boy, I been listening to Candlemass since the 80's. BTW, are you a Legend? Maybe Iconic, Epic? Who's listening in 2020? Do you like Tide pods and cinnamon by any chance and the Millennial woop woop music? Just curious.
@The Dawg Well that was boring. Anyhow just want to really know why YOU started this argument. Why did my comment "is it legendary & iconic" really bug you enough to make you respond with such anger? Apparently you are very insecure. Please explain Mr. K-9
@The Dawg No answer I see! Please answer my question, makes me sad that you won't. Legendary, Iconic, Epic, Best Ev-errrrr. See it's only words, why do you let it get to you so much? who's watching in 2020? Don't be so "Salty" doggy. Now stay in your little cage and say EPIC
Sam Fouani It's the subgenre itself that's underrated. Anyone into doom places them at the near top, if at least out of respect. Witchfinder General though...
They deserve to have sold millions of albums and be stadium headliners. Those first four albums should have brought them insane success. Maybe it was just the bad timing.
@@screenwriter8866 Name one Doom Metal band that’s headlined arenas. There are none. And Sabbath doesn’t count since they are the pioneers as Metal as an entire genre. Maybe the entire genre is DOOMED. No pun intended.
Same. Well, I just started checking them out a few months ago. So far, this is my favorite song. As I speak, I've been listening to it on repeat for about 20 mins, and counting haha 🤘

Ok, story time. (Not made up though...) Back in the 80's I lived in a town in south Sweden, called Ronneby. (Same place Marcolin comes from.) One day I went to visit a friend of mine who whas rather good at bending them strings. (Guitar. He was playing the guitar.) When I got out of my car I heard rock music coming from the open window of his tiny apartment. Guitar and vocals to be precise. I went up the stairs and knocked on his door, and when he let me in, he was playing the guitar rather loudly (as he should) and next to him was Eddie Marcolin (later known as "Messiah"), singing _without amplification_, but still keeping up with the guitar sound. DAMN he's got vocal resources! Not long after that (perhaps a year?) He joined Candlemass. I actually think I saw/heard him once before that though, without knowing who it was. There was a band called SOUNDS (Possibly with KISS style on the S letters) playing at some youth club, and the drummer/vocalist was rather impressive. Intense double bass drums and powerful vocals at the same time, I was in awe... When I think back, I actually think that was Marcolin... at least it fits the profile. :P End of story.
Mina Capella Follow-up: I actually got confirmation from him on Facebook that it was he who sang and played the drums in the band Sounds... if anyone's curious.
Ok but one of the bests among dio, king diamond, eric a k, rob halford, bruce dickinson, simone simons, Christian augustin known as zouille in the 80's french band Sortilège.
Funny, about 5 years ago I was already a long time Candlemass fan when upon watching one of their videos Ghost showed up in the recommendations, and that was the first time I heard Ghost.
Sabol Kralj well, thats not completely right, because Sabbath created metal in general, and to me sounds more like stoner metal than Doom, Domm is way more depresive than Sabbath music. Leggends both bands!
need to listen pallbearer, vintage doom early sabbath style, but they were the first and the fathers of doom and stoner.sabbath was one of metal creators along with Judas Priest
As a Swedish guy i can say - This is so Swedish, haha. A goddamn awesome song and doom metal at it's best!! Yes, and with a singer that is just unforgettable. Candlemass' riffs are insane and just majestic!! And when Mr.Toni Iommi played the guitar on Astorolus on Door To Doom, well that was a way to mark Candlemass with a label of being: 100% DOOM METAL, and i am.very very glad this is made in Sweden!! Rock on!!🤘🤘🤘
Yes,they are very good. Their videos I think were meant to show they were real people, not some crazy guys. I grew up on them in 1990-1992. Great music.
It's like real old world mysticism when you put on a Candlemass album. Videos just cant project the omnipresent mood they paint...on a shoestring budget anyway. Messiah! \m/
Remember watching this on a Hard n Heavy video. I'm sure it was dated to 1990. I can remember Bruce Dickinson being off his face in an interview. WASP were in the video also with the song The Manimal. Princess Prang - Trouble in Paradise. Skid Row and L.A Guns. Memories of my youth. How time flies.
What amazes me is that the leader of this band and I quote "Wasn't happy with the original mix and neither were the band members,our remaster fixes several issues we have with our original release due to the record label rushing us to make and release this album"
These guys are childhood buddies with Yngwie and the guys in Europe! They are known to show up at shows and jam with them. Yngwie lives in Miami beach so he must really respect there friendship to fly out there. Then again he has a castle in Stockholm! I bet the parties are great!
One of the catchiest riffs in the genre. You can't go wrong with the classic doom. Candlemass, Saint Vitus, Pentagram, Trouble; so much quality doom out there.
It warms this black heart to see the comments from people experiencing this band for the first time or just now hearing of them .... me? - I had nightfall when it came out in 84-85 . I fucking love this band . It’s just super cool that they are finally getting more attention and people see the absolute talent of these guys and their songwriting prowess . Top 5 for me easily.
this is what is now called vintage doom, no keyboards nor growls no clean mezzo voice, a bit epic some people says, but for me is black doom for the lyrics,.messiah young, the longest behiiiind ever. love this guys

I thought that at first too, then I noticed the song is called Mirror, Mirror. he is actually playing right handed, and everyone else is left handed. Not really, but it would have been kind of funny if they had flipped the image for this video.
They shouldn't have done videos, one just can't take them serious :)))))) such a sombre music, and what do they do? clowning around, especially this Messiah cool dude :)))))
Al Siciliano only they are like the most iconic doom band ever that doesn't get a piggy backed participation trophy like black Sabbath. epicus doomicus metallicus and this album are must listen to. in the genre
Messiah embraced his chubbiness and made fun of himself so that way no one could fuck with him. Not to mention he has one of the best voices EVER.
That's exactly how you do it. They can't fire at you if you've already used up all their ammo. Dude was hilarious.
He's not even that big. At least by today's standards.
@@joe_krogan His HAIR made him look bigger... lol
Hes not that big, eveyone in that scene was just 120 pounds lol@@joe_krogan
Seriously I dare say it I think voice is better than dio or at least on par.
Messiah Marcolin has got definitily one of best voices in whole heavy fuckin' metal.
When someone that was born to perform in the opera rebels and becomes a Doom Metal god instead....
Are you talking about Bruce Dickinson? :D
But Bruce isn't in a doom metal group, lol
You got me there.
idk.. maidens got some pretty doom songs but that comment is obviously referring to the messiah marcolin. inb4 2 minutes to midnight
OH COMON.... this is good Metal. Stop those names. doom or whatever.... this is good Metal!
Trash Metal though.... that's a whole other story!
I love the way they were corny on purpose ... it actually makes them cooler
This dude has an epic voice
is it legendary and iconic?

Messiah HAS to be my all time favourite vocalist. Never heard a voice as incredible and pure as his.
Have you heard Robert Lowe of Solitude Aeturnus? Check out "Mirror of Sorrow". Dude was up there with Dio and Bruce back in the 90's...
Ripper Owens is way underrated himself..
Warrel Dane was not bad.
Greatest Doom Metal band of all time... yet still underrated somehow.
Trust me they're not underrated. Whoever knows metal will tell you about how great and influential they are.

I found Candlemass just browsing the record store in the early 90’s, had no idea what I got, but wow, an amazing random pick. Messiah IS doom metal.
Epic Band. And so underrated
I love his voice so much.
Messiah Marcolin the best!! perfect!!
This song resurrected my corpse... I can't be the only one!!
These vocals are so rich. He has the best tone I think I’ve ever heard in metal singing. I love this band.
Candlemass umas das melhores bandas de doom metal.
Primeira vez que ouvi candlemass nunca mais esqueci, o conjunto todo é foda demais
Messiah Marcolin forever!
I firmly believe that this song and video is one of the greatest, most Godly things to ever grace the internet with its presence.
WHAT A PERFECT VOICE!
A dude at a record store turned me on to Candlemass and Saint Vitus the same day back in the late 80s. Im glad he did.
"Candlemass created doom metal almost all on their own." Just... just, wow.
Candlemass video are HILARIOUS to watch when high
its cheesy like watching ancient lilith's embrace
Music to play Dungeons & Dragons by.
only the most metal of scenarios
Patrick, Please Share
That would be Blind Guardian
I must have my players fight a dragon to this.
This song makes me wish i played
Candlemass, uma das melhores de doom metal que ouvi \m/
He has some pipes! Every song he has ever made the vocals blow me away.
That riff is badass and his voice is epic
I miss this line up so much. they've never been the same since Messiah Marcolin left them. Good times
messiah marcolin the best vocal on metal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok but one of the bests among dio, king diamond, eric a k, rob halford, bruce dickinson, simone simons, Christian augustin known as zouille in the 80's french band Sortilège.

Mirror, mirror upon the wall
Magic demon eye
A realm of madness
Awakened by the call
Speak the ancient words of mages
Try to take control
The essence of evil
A challenge for your soul
The battle of minds
The riddle the rhymes
Beware of the darkness behind
Usurped and enslaved
Redeemed and betrayed
The devil in the mirror, obey!
Iridescent pulsation light
Glowing in its heart
The surface is reflecting
Nightmares of your mind
Green mist swirling deep within
A dark dimension takes from
The grip of clawed hands drags you inside
The battle of minds
The riddle the rhymes
Beware of the darkness behind
Usurped and enslaved
Redeemed and betrayed
The devil in the mirror, obey!
Enchanted with powers to conquer your soul
Good or evil it won't mind
The mirror of darkness is blind
Feel the presence, the voice of the dark
Break the balance, intrudes your mind
Try to deny, oh, master of fools
Captured forever, the loser learns the rules
i didnt know jack black was in candle mass
+dunky dog Dude, thinking the same thing. Or From The Princess Bride, Andre the Giant's little brother. Funny sh*t!
