Candlemass announce new EP ‘The Pendulum’
CANDLEMASS have announced a new EP!
Titled The Pendulum, the upcoming EP from the doom metal legends follows last year’s The Door To Doom and is scheduled in March this year, via Napalm Records. The upcoming EP is comprised of never-before-heard, unused tracks cut from the The Door To Doom recording sessions.
Speaking about the upcoming EP, band mastermind Leif Edling says, “The Pendulum is about hard riffing, epic choruses and total delusion the fanatical way. It is in fact the last thing I wrote for The Door To Doom album but didn’t have the time to finish it. Here it is in its grand/mad luster with a great mix by Niklas Flyckt, and produced by Marcus Jidell. It is followed by five unreleased demos from the DTD sessions because the whole sha-bang was at first supposed to be a double effort but got trimmed down to a single album eventually. I love the Pendulum track, album quality if you ask me, and songs like Porcelain Skull and Snakes of Goliath are not bad either. They just didn’t make it to the final thing. So I hope you like this EP that features the “missing” songs. The last pieces of the puzzle of the one year recording that became the album The Door To Doom.”
Alongside the announcement of the new EP, the band have released the title track from the upcoming release.
