Doom Metal titans Candlemass, fresh off their Grammy Award nomination, has dropped a brand new single! ‘The Pendulum’ is a banging new song and the titled of their upcoming new EP, comprised of never-before-heard, unused tracks cut from The Door To Doom recording sessions. Due out March 27, 2020, via Napalm Records. Check out the track and cool new lyric video right now! Pre-order your copy at the link below.
Grammy-nominated classic doom icons CANDLEMASS don’t even need to drop a full-length for every release to prove they belong at the top of an entire genre and beyond. Fully
Says band mastermind Leif Edling: “THE PENDULUM” is about hard riffing, epic choruses and total delusion the fanatical way. It is in fact the last thing I wrote for “THE DOOR TO DOOM” album but didn’t have the time to finish it. Here it is in its grand/mad luster with a great mix by Niklas Flyckt, and produced by Marcus Jidell. It is followed by 5 unreleased demos from the DTD sessions because the whole sha-bang was at first supposed to be a double effort but got trimmed down to a single album eventually.
I love the PENDULUM track, album quality if you ask me, and songs like “PORCELAIN SKULL” and “SNAKES OF GOLIATH” are not bad either.
They just didn’t make it to the final thing. So I hope you like this EP that features the “missing” songs. The last pieces of the puzzle of the 1 year recording that became the album “THE DOOR TO DOOM”. Enjoy:-) “
The Pendulum was initially premiered yesterday (1/302020) via SiriusXM Liquid Metal.
