“”Sabbath Bloody Sabbath” needs no introduction \u2013\u00a0one of the best songs ever recorded, if you ask me. Maybe not the obvious choice, but it’s a dream for me to do it one day and here it is. Our rendition of ‘S.B.S.’ (Mass Bloody Mass?),” Leif<\/strong> Edling<\/strong> of Candlemass<\/strong> says of the band’s cover of Black Sabbath<\/strong>‘s classic track which appears on the band’s newest EP released earlier this week.<\/p>\n To some, Edling<\/strong> may be right. But, that’s besides the point \u2013\u00a0Candlemass<\/strong> is celebrating 40 years as a band and decided to top off the celebrations with their new EP, Black Star<\/em>. <\/p>\n The EP has four tracks: two brand new tracks, and two covers. One cover, the aforementioned “Sabbath Bloody Sabbath” by Black<\/strong> Sabbath<\/strong>, and the other, “Forever My Queen” by Pentagram<\/strong>. Candlemass<\/strong>‘ “Sabbath Bloody Sabbath” tribute was also accompanied by a music video which you can check out above. Eery and unsettling, what else would you come to expect from a doom metal band? Get it here<\/a>.<\/p>\n “Not all bands get to see their 40th<\/sup> birthday and it certainly hasn’t been an easy ride,” said Candlemass<\/strong> mastermind Leif Edling<\/strong>. “But many ups and downs later, we stand here as survivors, veterans even\u2026 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.”<\/p>\n Candlemass<\/strong> also has the following European tour dates lined up.<\/p>\n 6\/20 21 DE Daun Rengen Der Detze Rockt Enter your information below to get a daily update with all of our headlines and receive The Orchard Metal newsletter.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
