Candlemass update

[Wyvern]

Candemass returned to the Stockholm Polar studio this weekend to add one song to the forthcoming album. The brutally heavy “Of stars and smoke” was put down with ease and in a very releaxed working environment. Since the new album wont be out until next year, there is no need to rush things and the band can take their time to make it a perfect doom metal album.
Mappe Björkman: “Of stars and smoke” definatley had a vibe of “Epicus...” around it. It sent fucking chills down my spine”.

Still no news about Messiah . At least there's a 2007 release on the radar (I hope)

Messiah IS singing on the new one, right?

Last I read, he DID lay down vocals....but was still interested in parting ways. Can anyone confirm this?

When he realizes he can't live without Candlemass he'll be back

From BW&BK:

Despite muckraking Internet rumors, bassist Leif Edling confimed to BW&BK that legendary voice, Messiah Marcolin WILL INDEED sing on the forthcoming CANDLEMASS platter!

In an expanded statement on the band's website www.candlemass.se, Edling is quoted as saying: "In a conversation with the label Nuclear Blast, Messiah Marcolin has agreed to sing on the upcoming Candlemass album. It will happen sometime in September/October. Some contractual stuff has to be sorted out first, but things look very promising at the moment."

Leif: "I’m glad to hear it. Whatever problems Messiah have, I’m sure they can be solved for the benefit of the album. It really kills and the fans deserve to hear Messiah on it. Let’s just make this a great album. If Messiah wants to do his solo thing after or whatever, then I got no problem with it, but the album is the most important thing right now as I see it. For us, for the label, for the fans!"
