Each brought their own unique flavor. Johan was the ultimate epic doom vocalist, Messiah gave the band a larger scope, the dude who sang on the Sabbath worship albums gave them part of the Sabbath sound they were going for while having charisma of his own, and Robert Lowe was their charismatic everyman singer who was wicked talented while also having a down-to-earth edge that the others lacked. Mats and the dude who sang on their fifth album are kinda generic though, despite their talent.
OH? hell no, given that it is a matter of opinion I must say that Robert Lowe has a metal voice BUT, that's where it stops, OK? when darkness fall in paradise it will be Messiah Marcolin who will ring in the final chapter of this wretched life. enough of that, now yes Robert Lowe can sing because I definitely can't but Messiah Marcolin's voice is the definition of end's time prophesy.
I don't know who was the first but this song is great. I like the official performance by Messiah more than this one, but it's not a reason for another holywar, I think.
@nikkisixxfan86 Yes, and I say thank god for that! Although this version is also pretty sweet. Why is it I like the other vocalists all better than marcolin? lol
The dude's an amazing vocalist, but he's the most different of their singers. He's actually my favorite, but I can understand why other fans would be off put by him.
I love how haunting this version sounds.
Johan and Messiah were totally different, no way to mistake
It was Johan Längqvist, Messiah joined the band in 1987 ;)
i like it especially, how it is different
This is my favorite song by them, I didn't think it was possible for the EDM original to be better but this is some awesome shit.
the one and nicest candlemass singer: Johan Längqvist.
none of the other candlemass singers felt it right....
Messiah Marcolin is also a great

great song
I always thought Messiah performs it in Epicus Doomicus Metallicus
i agree.He made "earth to earth, ashes to ashes" sound less awkward.

Underrated comment. Very poetic, very doomish
wow thats crazy good.
Fkin great!!! \m/
i think it's better than epicus doomicus metallicus. Robert Lowe is pretty good and the new riff is just GREAT!
It's worse, though I won't say it's bad as it's own song. It's just a bad cover of Solitude from the band who made the song, which is weird to say
I cant help but picture Gargamel from the smurfs singing this
me too
Tell me whom is better vocalist messiah or lowe, I think lowe.
Almost better than the one on Epicus Doomicus Metallicus.
@Malikarcanum I think that riff is from the Messiah-era.
Why has no one sung this song on THE VOICE??? :P
I don't know who was the first but this song is great. I like the official performance by Messiah more than this one, but it's not a reason for another holywar, I think.
hahaha now when yo say it... its fucking true
@nikkisixxfan86
Yes, and I say thank god for that!
Although this version is also pretty sweet. Why is it I like the other vocalists all better than marcolin? lol
This is pretty good, but I think the original is still the best.
@rag0n93 What new riff?
the official performance isn't by Messiah
seuke tunne et ise laulaks
Lowe has his moments. Not to say he is a bad vocalist but in all honesty, i do not like him in candlemass.
The dude's an amazing vocalist, but he's the most different of their singers. He's actually my favorite, but I can understand why other fans would be off put by him.
yeah. but i like messiah marcolin AND robert lowe better than that guy.
