Johan Langquist last performed with CANDLEMASS at the band's 20th-anniversary concert on March 31, 2007 at Stockholm, Sweden's Kolingsborg. The show was professionally filmed and was released in October 2007 as the "20 Year Anniversary Party" DVD via Snapper/Peaceville. CANDLEMASS performed with no less than seven (!) different vocalists — including the band's former singers Johan Langquist and Tomas Vikström, plus the group's latest addition, Robert Lowe of SOLITUDE AETURNUS. In addition to the concert footage, the DVD includes interviews with all the vocalists from that evening as extra material.
