It was a big shock for a lot of Doom- and especially CANDLEMASS-fans to see charismatic frontman Messiah Marcolin leave the band (again) before his vocal parts for "King Of The Grey Islands" were even recorded. But Leif Edling and his Doom gang didn`t wait long with sensationally good news for their brokenhearted fans: Robert Lowe, himself a living legend in the slow-motion Metal realms as vocalist for Texan outfit SOLITUDE AETURNUS, joined CANDLEMASS to lend his unique timbre to 10 new compositions. This turns "King Of The Grey Islands" not only into the newest masterpiece in the discography of the Swedes, but also confronts the listener with the ultimate Doom Metal supergroup! Robert Lowe`s soaring and melancholic voice gives the songs the ultimate Epic Doom touch that fits the timeless compositions of Leif Edling just perfect. The infectiously catchy "Devil Seed", the beautifully melodic "Of Stars and Smoke" and the straightforward riffmonster "Clearsight" - everything you ever loved about CANDLEMASS is packed into "King Of The Grey Islands"! The Swedes are back with a vengeance - prepare yourself for a true Epic Doom classic!Asian edition features two killer bonus tracks!
