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.

Line 39:
 
* [[Canis Latinicus]] - ''Epicus Doomicus Metallicus''.
* [[Cover Version]] - Vaguely; the last track on ''Ancient Dreams'' is a medley of [[Black Sabbath (Music)|Black Sabbath]] songs.
* [[Doom Metal]]
* [[Epic Rocking]] - The majority of their output.
Line 46:
* [[Mohs Scale of Rock and Metal Hardness]] - For the most part, they've stuck to an 8 throughout their career. Some of their gentler songs qualify as 7, though.
* [[Self-Titled Album]]
* [[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).
* [[Trope Maker]] - Of "epic doom metal".
