This two‑disc set captures CANDLEMASS at their most majestic: “Tritonus Nights”, a stunning live document featuring complete performances of both Epicus Doomicus Metallicus and Nightfall, recorded at the historic Södra Teatern in Stockholm.
Presented with a 12‑page booklet, this release celebrates the band’s 40‑year legacy in truly epic fashion.
The concerts took place in November 2021, marking the 35th anniversaries of both albums. The lineup — Lars Johansson, Mappe Björkman, Leif Edling, Janne Lindh, and original vocalist Johan Längquist — delivered spellbinding renditions of the band’s most iconic doom metal classics.
Fans are treated to monumental performances of tracks such as:
• “Solitude”
• “Demon’s Gate”
• “The Well of Souls”
• “Bewitched”
A special highlight is the inclusion of “Battlecry”, a rare pre‑Epicus track seldom performed live — a real treat for longtime followers.
The audio was professionally recorded and mixed, with mastering handled by Patrick Engel at Temple of Disharmony, ensuring the performances sound powerful, atmospheric, and true to the band’s monumental legacy.
CANDLEMASS, founded in the mid‑’80s by bassist and songwriter Leif Edling, helped define the entire doom metal genre. Drawing inspiration from Black Sabbath, the band crafted a uniquely epic and dramatic style that would influence generations of metal musicians. Their first two albums — Epicus Doomicus Metallicus (1986) and Nightfall (1987) — remain undisputed cornerstones of the genre.
“Tritonus Nights” is a definitive celebration of CANDLEMASS’ legacy — a beautifully presented double‑disc release capturing the band in peak form, honoring two of the most important doom metal albums ever recorded.
