Formed in Stockholm in 1984 by bassist Leif Edling, Candlemass is a foundational Swedish epic doom metal band. Recognized as one of the genre's "big four," they famously inspired the term "epic doom" with their debut album. Despite multiple hiatuses between 1993 and 2004, the group has maintained a consistent presence in the metal scene, recording and touring through various label partnerships including Nuclear Blast and Napalm Records.
