ALSO INCLUDES POSTER & EIGHT PAGE BOOKLET Candlemass, formed by bassist & songwriter Leif Edling in Stockholm in 1984, is well known for its influential Epic Doom Metal sound, which itself evolved out of the masterful Black Sabbath. Following the legendary & genre-defining debut, ‘Epicus Doomicus Metallicus’ (1986), 'Nightfall' was released just one year later & alongside 'Epicus…’, is widely hailed as an all-time classic, instrumental in shaping the scene that still exists to this day with its unrivalled melodic Heavy Doom, with the creation of classic anthems such as ‘Dark are the Veils of Death’ & ‘Well of Souls’. On 'Nightfall', joining bass player & main songwriter Leif Edling was vocalist Jan Alfredo Marcolin, better known as Messiah Marcolin, who became a well-established & highly regarded vocalist throughout the Metal world, with his distinguishing & theatrical tones establishing him as an iconic presence in the band until his departure in the early 1990’s. Marking 35 years since this undisputedly revered release originally surfaced, this limited, triple coloured vinyl set includes newly remastered audio of the album - with work undertaken by Patrick Engel at Temple of Disharmony – & includes additional LP’s containing studio outtakes, plus rare rehearsal & demo recordings of the songs ‘Bewitched’ & ‘Battlecry’, all from the period leading up to the studio session. Aside from the three LPs, this set also includes a ‘Nightfall’ poster, plus eight-page booklet featuring rare band images & text originally featured in the ‘Behind the Wall of Doom’ book, written by Per Ola Nilsson. Each of the three LP’s are also presented in their own sleeves.
