Special commemorative 5 Disc (3 CD + 2 DVD) hardback book set marking 30 years of the Swedish metal legends, Candlemass.
To coincide with the 30th anniversary of the Swedish doom greats, particularly the legendary 1986 debut, 'Epicus Doomicus Metallicus', 'Behind the Wall of Doom' is a special commemorative 3CD/2DVD set featuring an expansive 92-page book by writer Per-Ola Nilsson. The three decade long tale of Candlemass is told from recollections of band members past and present, and chronicles the rise and domination of the pioneering Swedes, in the quest of firmly stamping their mark on the metal world. Includes never seen before photos from EPICUS up to recent years.
Also included are the Candlemass demos, plus rare and previously unheard tracks from the band's early rehearsals in 1985, alongside choice tracks from Candlemass' early classic releases, as selected by Leif Edling and former vocalist, Messiah Marcolin. The set is completed with extensive DVD footage featuring several integral band performances over the decades, including the much sought and revered Dynamo performance from 1988.
Candlemass was formed by bassist and songwriter Leif Edling in Stockholm, Sweden in 1984, and they are well known for their epic doom metal and having a great influence over a generation of the genre's subsequent greats - Candlemass themselves taking a large influence from Black Sabbath.
