Candlemass comment on CD/DVD

Swedish doom metal icons CANDLEMASS will release Ashes To Ashes on June 29th in North America. Bassist and mastermind Leif Edling commented on what to expect from the legendary bands first ever live DVD/CD set with vocalist Robert Lowe (SOLITUDE AETURNUS):

"Death Magic Doom was the turning point for us. All of a sudden we were back up there - in demand, getting great reviews, playing gigs for lots of people. Shit, even Sweden Rock wanted us! The big stage at 17.00, before ZZ Top and Twisted Sister. And we did good. 25 000 people cheered during our 80 min set. Goosebumps!

People always ask me, what do you prefer - a huge outdoor stage or a smaller club? My answer is both! I love the big Summer festivals, the atmosphere, the party, hanging out with old and new friends, the massive crowds! But I also have a weak spot for the clubs. The sweat, the intimacy, the communication, the rawness!

Here on this DVD you get both! A great representation of CANDLEMASS 2009! Two of the best shows we played this year. Sweden Rock and Athens. Outdoors vs. indoors. Big versus small. 25 000 people against 1000. Daytime….evening…..One gig is more brutal and in your face, the other more polished and produced. Hope you enjoy both as I do!”
