Don't Fear the Reaper is one of my all-time favorite songs. Heard this for the first time on Liquid Metal and fell absolutely in love with the slightly heavier yet slowed down tempo
Fan of both bands B.O.C and Candlemass...best cover that could have been done for this song...heaviness, guitars, atmosphere...whole new perspective...whole new world!
One of the best out of 3 grade a covers of this badass song the other 2 are wolf's dont fear the reaper cover version and HiM's don't fear the reaper cover version when a song like this gets reborn doom metal style makes you wonder who is gonna top this version of don't fear the reaper
LYRICS All our times have come Here but now they're gone Seasons don't fear the reaper Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain, we can be like they are Come on baby, don't fear the reaper Baby take my hand, don't fear the reaper We'll be able to fly, don't fear the reaper Baby I'm your man La, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la Valentine is done Here but now they're gone Romeo and Juliet Are together in eternity, Romeo and Juliet 40, 000 men and women everyday, Like Romeo and Juliet 40, 000 men and women everyday, Redefine happiness Another 40, 000 coming everyday, We can be like they are Come on baby, don't fear the reaper Baby take my hand, don't fear the reaper We'll be able to fly, don't fear the reaper Baby I'm your man La, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la Love of two is one Here but now they're gone Came the last night of sadness And it was clear she couldn't go on Then the door was open and the wind appeared The candles blew then disappeared The curtains flew then he appeared, saying don't be afraid Come on baby, and she had no fear And she ran to him, then they started to fly They looked backward and said goodby, she had become like they are She had taken his hand, she had become like they are Come on baby, don't fear the reaper
@@lizardmedia2257 ghost is actually heavily inspired by Candlemass and they've performed side by side with them so maybe you're the degenerate 🤔? Ghost's lead Tobias Forge literally had a hand in House of Doom where Papa Emeritus appeared in the limited extended edition of the song and Papa has performed on stage singing with Candlemass
Sweet.... Been my favorite song since the 70s.. this is a really really good cover.. might change my mind and have this version at my funeral instead of BOC.... Nah.. I am a traditionalist...
Messiah AND Lowe BOTH are excellent vocalists , and each is unique in his own right . What is disturbing is this ..... candlemass sounds superior with either voice . Utterly talented and epic musicians that have stood up to the test of time ! Marcolins vibrato is not forced at all , and Robert has a spookiness in his tonality that only furthers his raw doom style . This cover however would not have been on messiahs bucket list anyway. Sweden and Norway forever rule when it comes to true metal
The heaviness of Candlemass is very evident here. A very slow, churning, killer version of the Blue Oyster Cult classic! I like it! Are all of the band members of the Nightfall album (sans Messiah Marcolin) playing on this song?
Not the greatest thing they've ever made, but one thing candlemass has on all their shit is amazing atmosphere and it's pretty obvious that they were a huge inspiration for the band ghost.
a upside down cross is Catholic not satanic peter wanted to be crucified upside as he felt unworth to die the same as jesus. the satanic cross is a regular cross with three loops on the right and left side connected to the bottom of the cross. the crosses are what people see before the devil horns on the skull. its a good song cover either way.
Candlemass did an incredible job on this cover, I love when cover songs aren't an exact copy and make it sound more like their own band.
I love the original. But this version also gives me goosebumps and has such a special atmosphere.
its literally unreal, that tempo is hyponotising
Robert Lowe's vocals are perfect!
Lowe's name is apropos bc this name rebuilt this song
This is who Candlemass is!!! To everyone complaining, it's supposed to be slow! I think they did a superb job!
Definitely one of my favorite covers
Who's complaining ?
@@godetonter4764 There were a few in the older comments that were saying it was to slow.
@@maximus_crotchrocket907 it's effing epic 🤘⚡🤘
well it's doom : tune down , play slow, fuzz is your god, nothing else to say
Don't Fear the Reaper is one of my all-time favorite songs. Heard this for the first time on Liquid Metal and fell absolutely in love with the slightly heavier yet slowed down tempo
tiff61243 This guy is damn good but nobody in Doom Metal outside Dio Sabbath holds a candle to Macolm
Same goes for type o on summer breeze
@@natelandherr5202 who is Malcom ?
KURT LOOKING FOR RADIOHEAD
@@godetonter4764 I think they're refering to Marcolin
Perfect Candlemass cover. I am going to have to buy this. this makes me like Robert Lowe even more and I wish he was still their singer.
I could only imagine Messiah singing this!
I finally realized this artwork is an adaption of John Bauer's work 'Princess Tuvstarr gazing down into the dark waters of the forest tarn.' - 1913.
Needs more cow bell.
XMelkorBauglirX definitely needs more cowbell
needs more... mayonnaise???
There is no cow bell at all!!! What's up with that?
Perfect comment!!!
Only way to cure that fever!
This is my favorite cover of DFTR.🤘

This is FUCKING BEAUTIFUL. I hope this song is playing when I'm on my deathbed about to transition from this world to the next.
LYRICS
All our times have come
Here but now they're gone
Seasons don't fear the reaper
Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain, we can be like they are
Come on baby, don't fear the reaper
Baby take my hand, don't fear the reaper
We'll be able to fly, don't fear the reaper
Baby I'm your man
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
Valentine is done
Here but now they're gone
Romeo and Juliet
Are together in eternity, Romeo and Juliet
40, 000 men and women everyday, Like Romeo and Juliet
40, 000 men and women everyday, Redefine happiness
Another 40, 000 coming everyday, We can be like they are
Come on baby, don't fear the reaper
Baby take my hand, don't fear the reaper
We'll be able to fly, don't fear the reaper
Baby I'm your man
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
Love of two is one
Here but now they're gone
Came the last night of sadness
And it was clear she couldn't go on
Then the door was open and the wind appeared
The candles blew then disappeared
The curtains flew then he appeared, saying don't be afraid
Come on baby, and she had no fear
And she ran to him, then they started to fly
They looked backward and said goodby, she had become like they are
She had taken his hand, she had become like they are
Come on baby, don't fear the reaper
This puts a special twist on the cult classic song. I actually love it
Fucking EPIC! This approaches Type O level cover-song genius.
Best metal version best voice best performance 🤘
I won't disagree, I'll just say "powerwolf" and "poison"
Wow that's the best cover iv'e ever heard!
I prefer HIM's version myself.
Most beautiful version of this poetic song❤
When you listen to Don't Fear the Reaper but you dropped acid.
This is fucking beautiful. Twice now Candlemass have taken a cover for me and made it something else to all epic goodness.
What was your other favorite? I’d love to listen!
@@varlaamthecreator4325 To Ride Shoot Straight And Speak The Truth.
wow.......this version is fn badass! made it their own n damn it sounds refreshed. never heard of candlemass until 2 days ago....ten toes up
How ironic the title of the song sounds during this corona pandemic! Hope it inspires people to go on!
GHOST should cover this on a album.
Ghost is so heavily inspired by this.
Anti amen
Lmao
It's fucking disgusting that you would even say that you degenerate.
@@lizardmedia2257 Ghost is AOR . Your disgusting for liking Ghost

I discovered this great song from HIM, now im so surprised Candlemass covered it as well, sounds great!
outstanding ---- Robert Lowe is godlike
Totally. Me too... Heard it on Corridor of Covers on Liquid Metal, for the 1st time last week. This version is Amazing. Love the slow speed.....
beautiful song.
Perfect track to cover!
It's absolutely amazing
Love Candlemass to death, great cover. Buuuuuut no Cowbell? c'mon man!
Sweet.... Been my favorite song since the 70s.. this is a really really good cover.. might change my mind and have this version at my funeral instead of BOC.... Nah.. I am a traditionalist...
I want an acapella version of this!
Bonita versión.
Saludos desde Monte Grande, Argentina!
Really good But Blue Oyster Cult's solo kicks the shit outta this one
So beautiful
Always did like candle mass great remake love it. 👍❤😘
Cover perfeito!!!
It’s so haunting and beautiful. This version is just amazing
This cover is fucking awesome. Candlemas puts out the best music.
I'm fuckin speechless. . Hail
Candlemass es el santo Grial del stoner ❤️🇻🇪
Pretty much a perfect cover
i only came here because this wasn't on spotify
Your Majesty me too!!!
Melhor que a original
for a song about death blue oyster"s version is way too cheerie but good damn. this is heavy as concrete
I think this song and band cover would sound a hell of a lot better if Marcolin was in it tbh, his voice was the best.
No one tops Messiah! I can hardly get into the rest of the album's. How do you top Messiah? You can't.
@@YouStink86 Messiah is fucking annoying. That fucking vibrato gets in my nerves. Both Lowe and Langquist tops him.
Agree. Messiah rules
Messiah AND Lowe BOTH are excellent vocalists , and each is unique in his own right . What is disturbing is this ..... candlemass sounds superior with either voice . Utterly talented and epic musicians that have stood up to the test of time ! Marcolins vibrato is not forced at all , and Robert has a spookiness in his tonality that only furthers his raw doom style . This cover however would not have been on messiahs bucket list anyway. Sweden and Norway forever rule when it comes to true metal
@@spookyskeleton3845definitely the last one. That Marcoli was a fucking poser.
Sounds like BOC being played @ 16 rpm
This shit hits DIFFERENT
The heaviness of Candlemass is very evident here. A very slow, churning, killer version of the Blue Oyster Cult classic! I like it! Are all of the band members of the Nightfall album (sans Messiah Marcolin) playing on this song?
Great cover.
Romeo and Juliet,
They are together in eternity..
Maybe with *MORE COWBELL* this cover will cure all fevers.
Lol that was solame but I laughed inside....now I'm crying
Love it dude ! I was thinking the same as I read ur comment . The man in pants who makes gold records said it was the ONLY solution.
Try it at 1.5 speed
This sounds good
I think it sounds better on 1.25.
Bit slower than the original but fast enough to give some of the rush the orignal had.
But that's just me
Funny my immediate thought was to try 0.75
Buck Dharma is very proud
Chilling doom.
Could Candlemass do a cover of The Sails of Charon please?
This is so creepy 😳 Excellent!!!
needs more... mayo?
Creepy. but in a beautiful way
It's meant to be creepy, dude.
It's *doom* metal anyway.
Still like HIM's version the most but this is a fantastic cover.
BLAST FROM THE FUCKING PAST... HIM.. HAA
the original version is quite doom with a strong hint of blues
I have a video clip playing in my head of someone going for lunch that worked at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in 2019.
Kind of cool.
I wish Ghost would cover, man
Fucking brilliant!
Don't fear the Corona ?
FUUUCK YEEEESSSS!
I got a fever and the only cure is more cow bell
fucking awesome cover..:-p so slow...so good...
Good but listen at .75 trippy
Don't fear the reefer either
Not the greatest thing they've ever made, but one thing candlemass has on all their shit is amazing atmosphere and it's pretty obvious that they were a huge inspiration for the band ghost.
WHY CANT MY SPEAKERS BE LOUDER?????????????????????????????????
заебись!
Still too fast
I think i found a new tattoo.
Always said the same thing...
Which singer is this?
Notice Moon Rob Lowe
1.3 speed
Maybe this cover is good but Blue Öyster Cult is much better.
Needs more cowbell
Turn it too 1.25x thank me later
Rich bear,blanda inte in Ghost bland dom som gör riktigt hårdrock
1.5 speed
Why the put reverted crosses on cover?
In 1980s they were more religious band.
You mean inverted, dude.
yes, inverted.
Steve Carlsson - Satanism is a religion too.
No, "modern" Satanism is described as atheism, which means denying of any religion.
a upside down cross is Catholic not satanic peter wanted to be crucified upside as he felt unworth to die the same as jesus. the satanic cross is a regular cross with three loops on the right and left side connected to the bottom of the cross. the crosses are what people see before the devil horns on the skull. its a good song cover either way.
Where's the cowbell?
I could use a little more, cowbell, you are gonna want to hear that cowbell, I'm telling you!
I wish I could wave a magic wand and get rid of all the cowbell comments on every video of this song.
too slow man ... someone change the vinyl setting
Drummer_Jez it’s doom metal. It’s supposed to be like this
Slow deep and hard
@@vincemeyer6637 Dude, I was just thinking that, this riff sounds like Type O
bill smith hell yea bro!
Love Candlemass, but this is just too slow. the riff just don´t get the justice it deserves.
what do you even know, go listen to the original then, se if that's fast enough for you little wannabe
Candlemass did it better. Sorry, boc
Sorry Candlemass, can't beat BOC on this one
Absolutely fucking horrid, makes want to fucking cry.
Ugh, just no
Just slowing something down doesn't make it better. However it is easier to play if you aren't very good.
This just sounds like a slower tempo version.. which I don’t find good..
Weaker than the original.
Guitars are out of tune
Way to butcher a classic
