Epicus Doomicus Metallicus
Epicus Doomicus Metallicus is the debut album of the Swedish doom metal band Candlemass. It was released June 10, 1986 on Black Dragon Records. On its release, the album had a significantly different sound than other European heavy metal bands of the time, because of their use of operatic vocals mixed over slow and heavy guitar riffs. The album did not sell well on its initial release, which led to the group being dropped from the label during the same year. Since then, the album has been
the rest of "Epicus Doomicus Metallicus" at Roadburn Festival in the Netherlands for the live album "Epicus Doomicus Metallicus - Live at Roadburn 2011". It has appeared on the live albums "Live", "Doomed for Live", "No Sleep 'til Athens" and "Ashes to Ashes: Live".
