CANDLEMASS - "With Messiah Marcolin Things Were Difficult Because He Made It That Way"
June 2, 2008, 16 years ago
CANDLEMASS' Leif Edling recently spoke with Metal-Temple.com. The following is an excerpt from the interview:
Q: So, has Rob’s (Lowe / SOLITUDE AETURNUS) addition to the lineup changed the atmosphere in the band?
Edling: "Yeah, we definitely have much better atmosphere in the band. We have more fun as a band and I think this is the way it should be. Everyone seems to have more fun and actually feels more relaxed. With Messiah (Marcolin) things were difficult because he made it that way. Now it is totally a different thing like night and day. It’s like walk in the park being in Candlemass!"
Q: What about the next album, do you have any thoughts about it?
Edling: "Most of the tracks are ready and when we return home after the US tour in the middle of June, we will do some more live dates, then we will have some vacation time during July and finally on August get on the studio to record it."
Q: Musically, where does it stand?
Edling: "Well, I think it will be better than the King Of The Grey Islands that was better than the white album. So, we will continue in this pattern (laughs). Basically, it is pretty much in the same vein and I can surely say that I am very pleased with it."
