[[Candlemass]] is a Swedish [[Doom Metal]] band formed in 1985 by bassist Leif Edling. The [[Trope Codifier|trope codifier]]s of doom metal, and particularly of a subgenre called "epic doom metal", their first album ''Epicus Doomicus Metallicus'' is not only considered a landmark album but the textbook example of doom metal. They disbanded in 1993, but reformed four years later with a new lineup (Leif Edling being the only consistent member). A past lineup of Candlemass then reformed in 2002, before breaking up again... and reforming [[Overly Long Gag|again]] in 2004.

{{Discography:}}

* [[Cover Version]] - Vaguely; the last track on ''Ancient Dreams'' is a medley of [[Black Sabbath (Music)|Black Sabbath]] songs.

* [[Trope Codifier]] - Of doom metal; they're easily the most popular of the doom metal bands, too (unless you count [[Black Sabbath (Music)|Black Sabbath]] as a doom metal band).
