Epicus Doomicus Metallicus, the classic 1986 album from legendary Swedish doomers Candlemass, will be re-released on fat 180-gram blood-red vinyl in numbered gatefold sleeve on June 28 via Peaceville Records. The gatefold sleeve features the original artwork (red text and skull not white as on the CD) on a matt-laminated sleeve with logo and text on front in spot varnish. It will also include new sleeve notes written by the band.
According to a press release, “Epicus Doomicus Metallicus is a true classic. Every track is undeniably strong — heavy metal riffs blended with almost neo-classical touches, plus some theatrical elements bringing to mind bands like Mercyfull fate (thought to be another influence). This is one of the definitive doom metal releases, immortalizing the band, alongside early developers of the style such as the U.S. band Pentagram.”
