Snapper Music/Peaceville Records will issue CANDLEMASS' 20 Year Anniversary Party DVD on October 22nd. Pre-orders can be placed at this location.
Says the label, "For this very special release, Sweden’s own Candlemass perform at a recent show filmed in Kolingsborg in their home country, as a celebration of 20 years of the band’s doomination of the metal world. This set features guest appearances from members of acts such as THERION and GRAND MAGUS,, also including Michael Akerfeldt from OPETH who joins the band onstage for a storming rendition of ‘At the Gallows End’; all contributing to a set-list spanning the band’s career to date.
The show was used as a live unveiling of new member Robert Lowe (from SOLITUDE AETURNUS) – replacement for departing vocalist Messiah Marcolin.
Fans flew in from all over Europe, even as far as Australia to catch this momentous occasion for a night of melodic/heavy doom metal.
