Candlemass - Solitude (REACTION!!!)

[@joachimekstrom]

Showed this to my father (Matz Ekström) who played drums on this entire album and he absolutely loved your reaction! There’s a few other songs from the album that you probably would like, for an example ”A Sorcerer’s Pledge” and ”Under the Oak”. Matz would also like to recommend a song called ”The Tempter” from the band ”Trouble”. Keep up the good work!

[@C64SX]

Under the Oak, probably one of the best Candlemass songs ever. Still gives me goosebumps! Hälsa och tacka din far från ett fan som hängt med sedan '87. Epicus är fortfarande ett av mina favoritalbum, inte bara från Candlemass utan även totalt sett (och jag lyssnar på vääääldigt många genrer, inte bara metal) och din fars insats är en av anledningarna till detta.

You forgot slow tempo and low tuned guitars.

[@outisnemo8763]

There's a theory that says that is called doom because of the black sabbath's song "hand of doom" which is considered the first doom song.

[@jesperkrook2191]

[@hellsunicorn]

Candlemass is the quintessential doom metal band if one focuses on the sub-genre's fixation with fatalism and agony from more of a spiritual/religious perspective, their music tends to sound like long-running funeral marches through the moors at dusk or during the failing light just prior, hence they ascribe the term "epic doom metal" to their sound (the title of their first album, which "Solitude" came from is the Latin version of the same phrase). Overall a good starting band, particularly for people who are only familiar with Black Sabbath's take on doom metal through songs such as "Hand Of Doom" and "Into The Void". There are other subsets of doom metal that lean a bit closer to the stoner variety that includes a bit more of a political angst meets drug induced depressive state while still embodying the Sabbath sound as well in bands like Electric Wizard and Sleep, whereas more traditional bands in the style such as Saint Vitus and The Obsessed take a more generalized view of the sound that Black Sabbath pioneered and listen more like a composite of all of Sabbath's early 70s material, which is actually quite varied. Great reaction to this song, Johan Langquist's vocals are definitely an acquired taste and if you explore more of their material you'll find that the vocals largely sound different since he was only on their first album. Their next vocalist Messiah Marcolin has a bit more of an operatic sound to his voice and a somewhat less pitchy delivery, though the material that Thomas Vikstrom did on Chapter VI and the later material done by Robert Lowe (no relation to the actor) is probably the most accessible vocally speaking.

They were very influential on the genre along with bands like Black Sabbath, Sleep and Type O Negative. If you guys do another Candlemass song I suggest Bewitched. If you want some good modern doom metal to react to try some of these songs: Electic Wizard - Funeralopolis Pallbearer - The Ghost I Used To Be Paradise Lost - Crucify SubRosa - Ghosts Of A Dead Empire Swallow The Sun - Through Her Silvery Body YOB - Quantum Mystic

[@abdulmajeedahm644]

You absolute legend

[@rickhenderson2970]

Glad you guys got to this. Candlemass is awesome. Them and the entire Doom genre is basically a throwback to the sound Black Sabbath pioneered. It was a stark contrast to the speed and technicality that had come to dominate metal in the late-70s/early-mid 80s. Solitude was from the album Epicus Doomicus Metallicus, which is where the genre got its name. This was their only album where Johan Längqvist did vocals; Messiah Marcolin replaced him on the next album and he remained throughout their "classic" period and for their comeback. If you get to another Candlemass, I'd recommend Gothic Stone/The Well of Souls (former is a short intro). Frankly, I haven't heard another Doom band that holds a candle (ha!) to Candlemass, but the American band Trouble are quite good. I could recommend The Tempter from them.

[@AreaMan920]

1st & 2nd parts of your statement are correct. Yes Type O Negative are a great band & the song Love You To Death has amazing vocals by Peter Steele. My personal Type O- faves are Gravity (Origin Of The Fecess version), She's Gone, In Praise Of Bacchus, Too Late (Frozen) & Kill All The White People The last thing you wrote though is incorrect. Type O Negative were using a different name prior to 1991 and their 1st album Slow, Deep and Hard was released in 91.

Why is it called (Epic) Doom Metal? Look at how the album is called, that should be clue enough ;) and yes, that's how influencial "Epicus Doomicus Metallicus" was. As for other Doom songs (and maybe different takes on the Genre): CANDLEMASS - "The Samarithan" Embrace the voice of the second (and maybe most iconic singer) Messiah Marcolin and also probrably the most positive and uplifting lyrics you will EVER find in a Doom Metal song... and maybe in a Metal song in general. SOLITUDE AETURNUS - "Days Of Prayer" SA are probably a close second to CANDLEMASS in terms of status in the scene when it comes to Epic Doom Metal. They added a bit of groove to their songs, you should like it. Also, Rob Lowe on vocals is just savage. No wonder CANDLEMASS "borrowed" him for a few years :) SOLSTICE - "The Sleeping Tyrant" Well, this is something completely different. Driving mid tempo, English lyricism and melancholy, and a focus more towards the "epic" than the "doom" part. Overall though, "New Dark Age" is a gem and "The Sleeping Tyrant" one of the most amazing songs ever written to my ears. WHILE HEAVEN WEPT - "The Furthest Shore" You loved the epics by MEGADETH or METALLICA with all the transitions and changes in pace and tonality? You also digged the crazy melodicity and arrangements of NE OBLIVISCARIS? Then THIS will be the journey of a lifetime. 15 minutes of pure emotion. The speed especially in the beginning leads many people to believe that this is something other than Doom, but don't let the dynamics of the song fool you, it's one of the big, big and very underrated masterpieces. Have fun enjoying the rabbit hole that Doom Metal is!

Savatage-hall of the mountain king

[@Warlock_UK]

Man, I love covering this song.

[@joeyuzwa891]

YES. This song DEFINES epic, to me.

[@DerricsRevenge]

YES

[@ssRocker-nn3tp]

The pioneers of power metal. Lots of great songs.

[@neilpatrickhairless]

Savatage - Any song Savatage did even with the Pirate Shirt Guy

[@brudog1970]

I have asked for this one for awhile! Thanks for reacting to it. Gonna go watch it now. ;)

[@KenRulesLife]

Samarithan, At the Gallows End, and Bewitched are all amazing songs by this band. They have a long and excellent discography. Messiah is a severely underrated vocalist.

[@ralfzimmermann5352]

Great to see that you liked Candlemass. They are such a fantastic band! You should give „Samarithan“ a try, if you want to give Candlemass another ride. But there are tons of other fantastic doom bands out there. Solitude Aeturnus - Upon Within, Count Raven - Nashira, While Heaven Wept - Vessel, Procession - To Reap Heavens Apart, Sorcerer - Crimson Cross. And that's just for starters *g*

[@VoIcanoman]

Ah doom metal, an oft overlooked genre! My favorite doom band (so far) is actually a doom/black metal act from Canada called *Woods of Ypres.* They've disbanded now since their frontman died (car crash) in 2011 at the age of 31, but I still think they produced the ideal doom ambience: the mixture of the clean vocals, slow pace and morbidity of "standard" doom metal with the atmospheric elements and growled vocals of black metal, made for the perfect doom experience (i.e. depressing music that sounds amazing). Probably their best album (or at least my favorite) is Pursuit of the Sun & Allure of the Earth, their first full-length album (described by one critic as "metalized Pink Floyd"). Sucks that they don't exist anymore, but their 5th and final album (released after the death of their frontman) was good enough to win a Juno Award (Canada's Grammy Awards) for the best Metal/Hard Rock Album of the Year. Not bad for a bunch of boys from small town Ontario.

[@imdaboogyman815]

Love em.

[@enigmaticalofficial8302]

Candlemass - The Well of Souls Thats where they really hit the sweetspot, the riffs are even better and they had a better singer on that one too.

[@KM-je6bf]

I think might be the greatest riff I've ever heard so im gonna check that one out

[@Schweri23]

the answer to the question "why is it called doom?": Well, in 1970 Black Sabbath creates metal and at the same time creates doom metal, but doom metal is not recognized until later. The name "Doom" comes from a song on the Paranoid album called "Hand of DOOM", it is believed that this is where the name was derived, as it is one of the most influential songs in the genre. The band's most influential doom songs are Hand of Doom, Black Sabbath, Under the Sun, Lord of This World, Snowblind, The Wizard, Into the Void, Children of the Grave, N.I.B, ​​Sweet Leaf (which is also the first stoner doom metal song, I think), among others.

[@mikemanseau8782]

Can also suggest mirror mirror or cry from the crypt by candlemass. But if you wanna throwback, Black Sabbath basically invented this genre with their self titled song "black sabbath" or check out Hand of Doom by them aswell. For a more modern turn as to where doom ended up. It kinda blended with stoner rock so check out Sleep. In my opinion Dragonaut and Giza Butler are their 2 best

[@rk2331]

Temple of the Dog “Say Hello to Heaven”

[@MrToband]

Temple of the Dog-Times of Trouble

[@chrisfuentes4482]

YES! If they really want to hear Chris Cornell go off!

[@rayking2746]

Tres Brujas by The Sword!

[@ALittleOfMusic]

And you have the heavier Doom metal bands, like Paradise Lost, My Dying Bride, Novembers Doom (besides the Death metal touch), Swallow the Sun, Ghost Brigade, and many others...

[@longingbydesign]

I'd count Ghost Brigade as post metal, though.

[@SmooothCriiminal]

I've never really listened to much metal before, but you guys are definitely opening my mind up to it. I could definitely see myself listening to some more. Not sure I vibe with the lyrical content and just how dark and morbid this song is, but I definitely respect it. Keep up the good work guys

[@NirVe22]

NIGHTWISH - Ghost Love Score (OFFICIAL LIVE)

[@impulseucf]

As usual, good insights and fair points. One thing for Ryan. If you’re not crazy about the vocals, you might like the cover of this song by Oceans of Slumber who you liked. It’s a GOOD cover. Maybe check out The Sword for more Doom. Also, I know you’ve done a lot of Megadeth, but all the songs you’ve done were from the same album. Maybe try the commercial side? See how they clean up? I’d recommend Trust, Almost Honest, Symphony of Destruction, Sweating Bullets, or She Wolf. Thanks as always!

[@HomesteadDork]

I really love the Oceans of Slumber cover of this song. I also like The Sword's first album quite a bit. I have a harder time getting into their newer stuff, but Age of Winters was great.

[@dgodfrey9189]

Came here to mention the Oceans of Slumber version. Glad someone was on top of it :)

[@stephenfranciosa7876]

ELECTRIC WIZARD, SLEEP, more MASTODON!!!

[@davebailey7937]

Kyuss, dude.

[@ridleysomeliana-lauer5814]

This is so sick! Candlemass is one of my all time favorites and it's rad to see people outside of the doom scene loving Candlemass this much!

[@angelmccoy8725]

Always my favorite band for about 30 years. Got to see em in Dallas TX in the 80s or 90s at Joe's garage. Luv y'all's review. This is my favorite song

[@leocorrea5935]

About doom metal, my favorite band is Cathedral. Endtyme album is a good start. Songs like "Requiem for the sun" and "Alchemist of Sorrow" have that slow-paced groove that you enjoy. ;)

[@marcosrodriguezperez255]

Guys, try with Savatage - Hall of the Mountain King

[@alphajames33]

Yes! Anything from the Self titled album. Especially this with the -a bit- cringeworthy videoclip!

[@fredhamilton4687]

Avoid the video at all costs. It's so cheesy that it makes it hard to enjoy the song.

[@Concatenate]

Great song to recommend. I think they'd totally dig this song, maybe 24 Hours Ago as well.

[@ohbrettski]

For real. You two would love it.

[@guillotinedeath]

Strange wings or 24 hrs ago better songs

[@farbeyondhell13]

Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats, Down and Corrosion of Conformity are all good doomy bands.

[@gardedog3902]

Dunno the first one, but down and coc are not doom

[@milotimberlake2047]

Yeah down and Coc are more sludge

[@Bair0]

They need to do Down - Bury me in Smoke

[@nathanparry8315]

Nah, CoC and down are nowhere near doom. Uncle acid maybe, but closer to original sabbath with a stoner vibe.

[@spyralarchytect]

Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats are worth checking out regardless of which genre they fall in.

[@shawnsprayberry5820]

My favorite comment is when you talk about understanding the genres. Great channel.

[@Norunormii]

Still love Candlemass. Seen them more than once in concert.

[@tinakoscak3641]

Check out Beauty in Falling Leaves by YOB... a beautiful song by a beautiful doom band.

[@rocknroller726]

That is a beautiful song!!!

[@wastelander1015]

Best song of 2018 hands down.

[@imdaboogyman815]

I approve this message. YOB!!!

[@Sonic_Titan]

I love Mike Scheidt, he really puts his heart and soul in his songs.

[@timmie2k3]

I would love to see them react to some YOB. Easily my favourite band (and they're just so damn good live). Their music is this awesome combination of super heavy doom combined with spiritual and almost hopeful/positive lyrics.

[@metoothanks266]

You two should check out Scott "Wino" Weinrich's doom bands. The Obsessed, Spirit Caravan, and The Hidden Hand. The dude has been playing doom since the late 1970s, starting with Warhorse. This band became known today as The Obsessed. He also was the front man for another doom essential, Saint Vitus, being on four of their full length albums. Wino is such a big part of the doom scene that he was part of a collaboration to cover Black Sabbath's "The Wizard" with Geezer Butler (bass) and Bill Ward (drums) of Black Sabbath along with Rob Halford of Judas Priest on vocals. Wino also had an appearance on Dave Grohl's side project "Probot." Best place to start with his work is either "Brother Blue Steel by The Obsessed" or Melancholy Grey by Spirit Caravan.
