June 6, 2012, 12 years ago
Swedish doom legends CANDLEMASS recently issued the following update:
"We are sorry to inform you that Robert Lowe is no longer the singer for Candlemass. It has been a very difficult decision for the band and has mainly to do with the quality of the live performances. For the upcoming shows Robert will be replaced with Mats Levén (THERION, YNGWIE MALMSTEEN), longtime friend of the band. We are convinced this will work out just great."The band performed their first show with Levén on June 5th in Stockholm, Sweden at Debaser Slussen. Fan-filmed video of the song 'Prophet' from the gig is available below:
