Word.

Looking forward to it

Can't wait. It's the perfect marriage of two Doom legends.

anything with Lowe on it is going to shine. best d*mn vocalist in doom!

Bah! I got this album last week as a promo, didn't mention it because I didn't know if it had leaked or not. Apparently it has.

And yes, the album is outstanding! Much heavier than I expected. Lowe's vocals are superb, as always.

i am listening to it now... fantastic! i like how Rob is singing more aggressively than he did on SA's Alone album. it fits Candlemass's style better than is softer more melodic approach.

not to say he still isn't melodic.

Yes I have had this for a while now and still can't stop listening to it. Rob's vovals are outstanding. Can't wait to get the proper thing and have a GOOD listen to it

OK HOW????? do you guys have this? I am one of those sorry saps who has to wait till June?

I am one who downloads veryy little as far as torrents go, cause I will still purchase the album to support a band. Even then I cant find this out there.

How did you score the early promo?

UGH!!! :faint:

:D

torrent, check piratebay.org


but please be sure & buy it when it comes out. bands need our support to stay alive.

I'm a reviewer, but I also know a million people in the music industry. My place is littered with promos. I get some almost every day.

Thanks for the help, I managed to get my grubby hands on it

I am looking forward to hearing this ! It's a shame about Messiah, but
I'm not going to write Candlemass off becuase of his departure.

Are you in Vore? If so, I tried to book you guys at some shithole called The Closet in Sherwood way back in the day.

Anyway, the new Candlemass is outstanding.

I checked the promo, but for some reason it wont click with me. I constantly imagined what it would have sounded with Messiah and this wiped off the listening pleasure instantly...

Dont get me wrong, Lowe is a great singer, but no one can fill Messiah's shoes for me, so its my loss for not getting into this album I guess...

No. I was in the Air Force. I was stationed there from 1995 to 2000. Lots of killer bands from down there, surprisingly.

My words exactly!!! Could not have said it better myself!

That said though, the music is CLASSIC Candlemass!

Lowe is the MAN on this album!!!

Robert destroys Messiah's vocals with ease.

Thank you! I keep reading all this talk about Messiah being the more powerful and better vocalist. Pffft! Messiah is a one-trick pony compared to Lowe. Don't get me wrong, Messiah has an outstanding voice, but Lowe has a stunning voice. And his range and diversity in tones is far better.

It'll take a lot to convince me Lowe is better in Candlemass than Messiah was.

I love Messiah's work both in Candlemass and Memento Mori.

Never heard any SA that I thought sounded better than average.

I'll give the new album a shot but I doubt it'll be that good. This is the only board I have seen that is raving about how good it is.

perfectly put. i liked everything Messiah did with both Candlemass & Memento Mori... however, Rob Lowe reigns supreme!

ToB, I've not seen ANY board NOT raving about how awesome the new album with Robert is.
I still say that Messiah sounds like a rabid billy goat when his sings. The dude is good, but he's waaaaay overrated IMO.
