Candlemass were formed by bassist and songwriter Leif Edling in Stockholm, Sweden in 1984. Well known for their epic doom metal, they have hugely influenced a generation of the genre's subsequent greats.
Dactylis Glomerata was a come-back album of sorts, after the band had temporarily been laid to rest after the 'Chapter VI' album.
Dactylis_ was an album of more stripped down dirty doom, evoking what could be described as a strong stoner vibe, along with some hard rock elements, rather than the more epic heavy metal inspired compositions from previous albums, which the band were more known for.
