CANDLEMASS: 'From The 13th Sun' Album To Be Re-Released On Vinyl

October 3, 2007

CANDLEMASS' "From the 13th Sun" album, which came out in 1999 and featured mainman/bassist Leif Edling alongside a collection of mostly unknown (outside Sweden) musicians, will be re-released on vinyl via Black Lodge Records. The new LP contains the entire original album plus three extra tracks: "The Odessa Chamber", "Sokrates" and "John the Leper". The bonus songs were culled from demos but due to poor tape quality, they have been re-recorded by Jejo Percovic (drums),Leif Edling, Mats Stahl (guitar) and Björn Flodquist (vocals).

You can order directly through the Black Lodge webshop: Sweden, Rest of Europe, USA.

A four-minute video interview with CANDLEMASS members Leif Edling and Robert Lowe conducted at the Jalometalli 2007 festival — which took place place August 17-18 at Club Teatria in Oulu, Finland — has been posted on YouTube.

CANDLEMASS filmed its 20th anniversary concert on March 31, 2007 at Stockholm's Kolingsborg for an upcoming DVD, tentatively due in October/November via Snapper/Peaceville.

Robert Lowe (CANDLEMASS, SOLITUDE AETURNUS)

Janne Christoffersson (GRAND MAGUS, SPIRITUAL BEGGARS)

In addition to the concert footage, the DVD will include interviews with all the vocalists from that evening as extra material.
