Solitude, the perfect Valentine's Day song

Yeah I hate VD 😏

I am so happy Candlemass got back with Johan, now we have 3 albums with him. It really would have been a shame to only have Johan on the Epicus album only.

[@rockadrome7235]

One of the best heavy metal bands of all time, so many great albums

[@ronhoughton5147]

Amen!

[@JohnDoe-rp3mx]

And Iced Earth

[@acrata6467]

the greatest band of all time! had great singers! My favorites are Johan and Messiah!!!

[@AlexHevari]

Johan was in his early twenties when recorded EDM. Now he is almost 60. Of course his voice aged - that’s the nature. But still he is awesome!

[@n0xx295]

This isn't the 80s anymore, and even though one might appreciate power metal with it's high-pitched falseto voices, one also has to recognize that falseto voices are definitely out of style in most metal subgenres.... And frankly, I think his darker more somber tone suits the music much better now.

[@ruimendesjunior6405]

The Kings of Doom Metal 🤘🤘

[@raywoods2071]

Epic. Timeless.

[@celestevieira8220]

One of the best doom metal songs ever. Absolute legends. Beautiful show. Love from Portugal.

[@MagnusTorell]

Kind of miss his belting voice from the past... BUT at the same time it has matured into a great voice for this kind of music... Still my favourite voice of Candlemass... a band I've followed since the very beginning... epic music... awesome...

[@1917Joey]

Simply awesome!

[@samulation5047]

[@johnskiecalisanga5994]

Great, Awesome Live Performance the vocals was also good that was good-grief amazing I love this Band So Happy that Sir Johan went back withe band.

[@AlexHevari]

I’m happy as well. His voice aged of course - but not ruined by age. Rather like good wine...

[@scorpions1965]

I freaking love this

Johan Lanqvist from "Epicus" time?

[@Liam.m42]

indeed.

[@darkmarv8045]

Yes.

[@sauron2826]

if Candlemass hadn't poached Lanqvist we might have got a Jonah Quizz full length. Candlemass sucks

[@pizzaman6926]

@@sauron2826 according to Johan himself the reason why Jonah Quizz stopped with the label they signed to that was gonna make them big closed literally like as the signed and shortly after that they just stopped. Johan went as a studio session vocalist for whomever chose him and the rest is history. Also if Candlemass sucked why are you here. You are literally the only soul I've seen that has said basically Jonah Quizz rules Candlemass sucks.

Personally I like Johan way better than Messiah. He sounds pure evil here, Messiah always sounded too corny to me. Too theatrical.

Bad song performance

[@mikepineda1110]

i agree the original is still different

[@holymariner1]

I love Johan, but damn, his voice is shot. He really struggles in the clean parts, and I´m afraid that his constant use of his grittier tone will fuck his voice up even quicker.

[@AlanAverillNemtheanga]

nope, not shot at all, just lower and grittier, still got body.....

[@darkmarv8045]

I think Johan is fine.

[@bradmohr8098]

I've seen other cell phone vids where he kills it. Not sure what's up here.

[@Anjohl]

I mean, he recorded one album 35+ years ago. Horrible choice for a new vocalist. They should have stuck with Mats or brought Robert back in. I don't get the appeal of bringing back a singer that did *one* album with them, *never* toured it, and who was *completely* overshadowed by the vocalist who replaced him. I think he sounds fine as their singer, but I don't see the appeal unless all they're going to perform is EDM songs and the new material with Johan.

[@m.s.millhollin9856]

@@Anjohl this may be just me but I proffered johans voice so much more than anyone else they brought in after him

[@alimobasser5839]

Here is the proof they should not have fired Robert Lowe despite his shortcomings.

[@sinbysin666]

don't know what you and others are smoking. He sounds so fucking great. He may not be a Power Metal singer like Lowe and Messiah, but POWER nonetheless. And so seamless.

[@j.t.8848]

I'm still angry they let Robert go. I've been mostly bored with them since he left.

[@alimobasser5839]

@@sinbysin666 that's the point, we're not smoking anything and actually hearing what's happening. Lowe is not a power metal singer, he's actually considered the best doom metal voice. This guy here sounded great 30 years ago.

[@JoJo-nm9yp]

​@@alimobasser5839 you be smoking crack

[@Anjohl]

@@j.t.8848 100% agree. I just begrudgingly getting into Mats, and then they just dropped him. Feels like Leif is the problem to me.

[@ronaldd4376]

Just get messiah back on vocals Jesus this sounds terrible

[@TheGreatestVoice1958]

A) No it doesn't B) Messiah is nowhere near as goof as he used to be. I actually think Johan's vocal performance on the last album was far superior to Messiahs on the self titled album.

All the unnecessary embellishments, the vocals, the guitar tone.. they're their own cover band. Like so many other older bands.

So bad. Nor even close to Messiah MCollin. BUUUUUUUUUU

[@cookiesontoast9981]

Messiah didn't even sing on Epicus.
