Candlemass announce new EP ‘Black Star’
CANDLEMASS have announced a new EP!
Titled Black Star, the upcoming EP from the legendary Swedish doom metal band is the follow-up to Sweet Evil Sun, and is scheduled to be released in May this year, via Napalm Records.
The upcoming EP will feature two brand new songs and covers of BLACK SABBATH‘s Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and PENTAGRAM‘s Forever My Queen. The EP also comes in celebration of the band’s landmark 40 year anniversary.
Speaking about the upcoming EP, bassist and band mastermind Leif Edling shares, “not all bands get to see their 40th birthday and it certainly hasn’t been an easy ride. But many ups and downs later, we stand here as survivors, veterans even… a bit scarred perhaps? Still ready though to unleash another piece of doom-laden metal upon an unsuspecting world. You have to do something when you turn 40, right? Anyway, as always, it’s been fun recording some new stuff as well as covering a couple of old favorites.”
