Doom metal, Sweden, 2012
Napalm Records
Candlemass bids farewell with Psalms of the Dead, announcing it to to be their last studio album. This is how it should be done: Robert Lowe still has his voice as made apparent in the opener. The Sound of Dying Demons features an eerie keyboard, and Lasse rips his first lead that are definitely up to snuff as made apparent throughout the album. Dancing in the Temple (of the Mad Queen Bee) reminds me a bit like If I Ever Die from their previous album, Death Magic Doom. Waterwitch is the first thoroughly slow song on the album, yet again I have nostalgia crawling up my spine remdining me of Bleeding Baroness from Death Magic Doom. Do not fret, these comparisons are mostly in the "feeling" and pace of the songs more than anything. There are still plenty of fresh, original riffing going on.
