Mike fronting Candlemass

[Indrid Cold]

I might of picked up some Candlemass albums if it weren't for the annoying singer^

Agreed

 

[Belligerent]

Guess everyone cannot agree on everything...
not digging the candlemass vocals at all

 

[Kir-ir-Bannog]

but at any rate, i loved mike's clean vocals approach on this song. whoever said he was doing a "marcolin impression" is completely off their rocker, it sounded nothing like him. however mike had his very own touch to the song and i enjoyed it. except for the growls. those were garbage.

LOL, you're probably right. There was some simularity in the the styling though. It did it justice anyway.

 

[Hypnos]

as much i love Mike's vocals, he just can't compete with the mighty Messiah Marcolin. the best metal vocalist out there

 

[stefan86]

I think Mike did the song completely in his own style, sorta subtle on the cleans. And the growls were awesome IMO.

 

[Godhead59]

This band sounds interesting. Might check them out sometime.
Cheers to Mike, must have been a very exciting moment for him.

 

[metal_wrath]

Candlemass aren't really my style, but they have some sick riffs and stuff

I was surprised by the singing when I first heard them though

cheers

Johan Langquist, performing A Sorceror's Pledge. I am astonished at how good he still sounds. Maybe he's rejoining the band! Oh wait they're incredibly washed up. Oh well. . .

iirc the new album will be fronted by the solitude aeturnus guy everyone should check out the johan vids, he sings lots of songs from epicus and they all sound amazing. he's much better than marcolin imho.

 

[Midnight_Flyer]

Mike did a great job.

I can not wait for the next Candlemass album, I can see were people are coming from when they think the vocalists of Candlemass put them off (while being a fan of previous vocalists) But there is no denying the vocal talent of Robert Lowe of Solitude Aeturnus, the next album will be a highlight of 2007.

 

[stefan86]

Robert Lowe has an amazing voice so it's gonna be cool to hear what he can do on the Candlemass CD

I love Messiah Marcolin's vox! But fair enough if you feel like that, i guess this is just an opportunity to practice 'selective hearing'.

this should be interesting. I like what Mikael did with the song during the tribute song. Nice vocal mix.

i disagree. Marcolin >>> Johan Langquist. Robert Lowe is the only man who can take the legacy from Marcolin.

 

[prowlergrig]

marcolin obviously has a better technique, but i just like johan's raw, dark vocals on the first album. listen to messiah's studio version of under the oak, it's vastly inferior iyam. i'm not a big fan of lowe either (didn't like the new solitude aeturnus), but he'll do i guess

 

[S<issors]

I have a couple old Candlemass LPs- "Nightfall" and "Ancient Dreams." I can get into them every now and then, but it's despite Messiah's vocals, not because of them... I should get off my ass and check out EDM. Anyway, I think we can all agree that Mike's take was fucking badass.

 

[Liquid Diamonds]

I know nothing of Candlemass. I may check them out, may not. But I rather like this. Not just because of Mike, the vibe is good.

It's still nice for me to hear the resonance Mike's clean voice has found of late. Very powerful, I love it.

 

[Weakness]

oh boy, here we go again....keep trying...I know you guys can get past the 3 word phrase level and actually form a sentence....can't cha?

DIE

 

[Deadlift]

Here is a clip i found on youtube of Mikael fronting Candlemass last night at their 20th anniversary gig, performing the song At The Gallows End.

enjoy.

Nice post , thanx.

Sounds really good. Would be cool with a DVd of it.

 

[Sinten]

im surprised by the amount of people who have never checked out candlemass
marcolin's voice is so epic, i love it.

 

[Towedwart]

I liked the clean vocals a lot. Interesting hearing Mike sing in a different style than normal.
