Sweet Evil Sun, out November 18, 2022 via Napalm Records,Candlemass are ready to prove once again that they reign as one of the heaviest metal bands on earth, bringing epic doom to the world of metal.

The artwork for Sweet Evil Sun was illustrated by the skilled hand of Erik Rovanperä, the architect behind CANDLEMASS' visual style since Psalms for the Dead (2012)

 

Leif Edling on the new album:         
"Sweet Evil Sun is about hope, striving, adoration and failure. It's about all the personal battles that you have, but also the never-ending decay of humanity.

The record took over a year to make and there's not a bad track on it! We had a fantastic time recording it and are really looking forward to the release. It's Doom, It's Metal! It is the essence of CANDLEMASS put into one album!"
