Nightfall

by Candlemass

Nightfall cover art

Candlemass perfected the epic doom metal formula on 'Nightfall', pairing colossal, mournful riffs with Messiah Marcolin’s soaring, operatic vocal delivery. The album's sombre, classical-inspired arrangements provide a grandiose backdrop for dark, fantastical lyrics centered around death, mythology, and religious dread. It is universally regarded as a masterclass in slow, heavy, and majestic metal.
