Commented Candlemass bassist Leif Edling: "I'm looking forward to do our first 25th anniversary show at Roadburn in Holland. It's a cool festival that handpicks great bands every year! Doom / underground / metal / classic... I think CANDLEMASS will fit right in!! We will play a very special set � 'Epicus Doomicus Metallicus' in its entirety for the very first time, featuring Johan L�ngquist on vocals!! There will also be a Robert Lowe part of the show, where we do some classics as well as new stuff, of course. I think there will be some special surprises there too!! I must say I love the early show time on the Saturday. Then there's plenty of time to watch the other bands later!" - more on this story
