Candlemass: Lordy lordy, look who's forty


You have to hand it to Candlemass. As you can see from this image, they are clearly old enough to get the 15% discount on the salad bar at Rax, but they're not calling it a day. That's the kind of dedication that you just don't see from these new bands like Pantera or Type O Negative.

I mean a lot of guys would just wear jeans on stage once they had to go to an XXXL robe, but not Candlemass. Most guys would get a straight job after spending two decades on the road playing to 200 people a night for a few dollars- but not Candlemass. A lot of people would have a hard time playing second fiddle to a frontman that looks like a cross between Jack Black and Shane Embury. But not Candlemass!

Candlemass is in it for the long haul, and you can count on them to stick with it- for themselves, for the fans, and for the spirit of funeral doom!

    Actually: some things go even too far for Candlemass. They fired Messiah Marcolin some time go and replaced him with the singer of Solitude Aeturnus.

  4. Speaking of fat idiots, have you ever heard of Timo Tolkki or his terrible power metal band Stratovarius? There's a pandora's box full of retardness and idiocy if you want to do a research on him.

    Anyways, I would like to say thanks for the many laughs that I've had during the last couple of days while reading all the posts on this blog.

  6. Candlemass was awesome... and now Messiah Marcolin is working on a new album that, I think, it's going to be awesome too. That's a guy who cares about Metal all over these years... and he deserves respect. BTW, his vocals are quite impresive... and that's more important than the way he looks and how much he earns, I think.
