Swedish doom metal icons CANDLEMASS have issued the following update on their new live set, Ashes To Ashes, out now in Europe and due on June 29th in North America:

"Finally the new DVD is out. Well... it turns out it is a CD + DVD package. Anyway, it contains the show from Sweden Rock as audio on one disc, and on the other you get both the SRF gig on DVD as well as the show from Athens, plus photo galleries and an interview = Good value for money!!

If you wanna spend more hard earned cash, you also have the SRF show and Athens on vinyl. Two double exclusive 180 gram LP’s. The SRF DLP comes on blue and yellow vinyl, as the Swedish flag. The Athens version is blue and white as the Greek flag. Both of the double LP’s are incredibly cool with loads of nice photos!"

A preview for the DVD can be viewed below.

According to a press release, Ashes To Ashes is a massive live onslaught on DVD that boasts two full shows (one at Sweden Rock festival 2009, the other one in Athens the same year) – plus the Sweden Rock show on CD too. Not to mention an in-depth band interview and plenty of bonus stuff!. This release also marks the first live album / live DVD with vocalist Robert Lowe and material from the last two albums, namely King of the Grey Islands and Death Magic Doom. Mixed with classic tunes such as 'Samarithan', 'At the Gallows End' or 'Solitude', "Ashes to Ashes" truly is a treat for every Candlemass fan and a must have for all traditional metal gourmets!"
