I am so happy Candlemass got back with Johan, now we have 3 albums with him. It really would have been a shame to only have Johan on the Epicus album only.
This isn't the 80s anymore, and even though one might appreciate power metal with it's high-pitched falseto voices, one also has to recognize that falseto voices are definitely out of style in most metal subgenres.... And frankly, I think his darker more somber tone suits the music much better now.
Kind of miss his belting voice from the past... BUT at the same time it has matured into a great voice for this kind of music... Still my favourite voice of Candlemass... a band I've followed since the very beginning... epic music... awesome...
@@sauron2826 according to Johan himself the reason why Jonah Quizz stopped with the label they signed to that was gonna make them big closed literally like as the signed and shortly after that they just stopped. Johan went as a studio session vocalist for whomever chose him and the rest is history. Also if Candlemass sucked why are you here. You are literally the only soul I've seen that has said basically Jonah Quizz rules Candlemass sucks.
I love Johan, but damn, his voice is shot. He really struggles in the clean parts, and I´m afraid that his constant use of his grittier tone will fuck his voice up even quicker.
I mean, he recorded one album 35+ years ago. Horrible choice for a new vocalist. They should have stuck with Mats or brought Robert back in. I don't get the appeal of bringing back a singer that did *one* album with them, *never* toured it, and who was *completely* overshadowed by the vocalist who replaced him. I think he sounds fine as their singer, but I don't see the appeal unless all they're going to perform is EDM songs and the new material with Johan.
don't know what you and others are smoking. He sounds so fucking great. He may not be a Power Metal singer like Lowe and Messiah, but POWER nonetheless. And so seamless.
@@sinbysin666 that's the point, we're not smoking anything and actually hearing what's happening. Lowe is not a power metal singer, he's actually considered the best doom metal voice. This guy here sounded great 30 years ago.
A) No it doesn't B) Messiah is nowhere near as goof as he used to be. I actually think Johan's vocal performance on the last album was far superior to Messiahs on the self titled album.
Solitude, the perfect Valentine's Day song
Yeah I hate VD 😏
500%
One of the best heavy metal bands of all time, so many great albums
Amen!
And Iced Earth

Johan was in his early twenties when recorded EDM. Now he is almost 60. Of course his voice aged - that’s the nature. But still he is awesome!

the greatest band of all time! had great singers! My favorites are Johan and Messiah!!!
0:53 i love that obi wan kenobi came to see candlemass because they are so great
Who?
Epic. Timeless.

The Kings of Doom Metal 🤘🤘
One of the best doom metal songs ever. Absolute legends. Beautiful show. Love from Portugal.
How does someone's voice go from being fantastic to being completely different but still fantastic?
I freaking love this
Simply awesome!
Great, Awesome Live Performance the vocals was also good that was good-grief amazing I love this Band So Happy that Sir Johan went back withe band.
I’m happy as well. His voice aged of course - but not ruined by age. Rather like good wine...
CANDLEMASS STILL HAS IT
Вот это и есть Doom! Аж стены зашатались!
Johan Lanqvist from "Epicus" time?
indeed.
Yes.
if Candlemass hadn't poached Lanqvist we might have got a Jonah Quizz full length. Candlemass sucks

@@sauron2826 The dumbest thing i've heard in a long time. Get out
🤘I’m a Doom Metal Men forever ❤
perfect!
Felt like a cassette dragging when they would go bad
Johan Längquist está muito parecido com o Alceu Valença, rsrs.
THIS IS DOOM.
Exactly not all that stoner shit about weed
Fucking banda boa da porra !
🖤
Cool! Die Vorband von Ghost 2019
My swan song
Sorry, bitte steinigt mich jetzt nicht. Aber Candlemass fand ich als Headliner zum einschlafen. Trotzdem obertittenaffengeiles Festival!!
Dann bist du einfach kein fan von doom metal. Das ist halt langsam. Aber nicht wild, hoffentlich du hattest spass. Stay heavy bro❤️🤘😊
goooosebumps
who's the drummer ?
Jan Lindh, as always.
@@petermalik2536 i didnt recognize him
@@Visionoir He is keeping a clean look and the dyed hair makes him look a lot younger, for sure, but it is him. Seems like he takes care of himself :)
@@sejuanisupportonly7385 loool
Personally I like Johan way better than Messiah. He sounds pure evil here, Messiah always sounded too corny to me. Too theatrical.
Get real.
I love Johan, but damn, his voice is shot. He really struggles in the clean parts, and I´m afraid that his constant use of his grittier tone will fuck his voice up even quicker.
nope, not shot at all, just lower and grittier, still got body.....
I think Johan is fine.
I've seen other cell phone vids where he kills it. Not sure what's up here.
I mean, he recorded one album 35+ years ago. Horrible choice for a new vocalist. They should have stuck with Mats or brought Robert back in.

@@Anjohl this may be just me but I proffered johans voice so much more than anyone else they brought in after him
Strange.......ttfn
Here is the proof they should not have fired Robert Lowe despite his shortcomings.
don't know what you and others are smoking. He sounds so fucking great. He may not be a Power Metal singer like Lowe and Messiah, but POWER nonetheless. And so seamless.
I'm still angry they let Robert go. I've been mostly bored with them since he left.
@@sinbysin666 that's the point, we're not smoking anything and actually hearing what's happening. Lowe is not a power metal singer, he's actually considered the best doom metal voice. This guy here sounded great 30 years ago.
@@alimobasser5839 you be smoking crack
@@j.t.8848 100% agree. I just begrudgingly getting into Mats, and then they just dropped him. Feels like Leif is the problem to me.
Сорян,но даже,если метла будет жарить в 150,то это всё равно провал!!!!
Bad song performance
i agree the original is still different
Too much drives, Johan could do better...
Just get messiah back on vocals Jesus this sounds terrible
A) No it doesn't
B) Messiah is nowhere near as goof as he used to be. I actually think Johan's vocal performance on the last album was far superior to Messiahs on the self titled album.
Not at all
Are you mental?
@@TheGreatestVoice1958 idts, he was very good on s/t
no fckin way go hear dickinson
🤣🤣🤣🤣
All the unnecessary embellishments, the vocals, the guitar tone.. they're their own cover band. Like so many other older bands.
Worst vocals i've ever heard for this band. I know he once was good but here he is struggling and too raspy ... These songs deserve better
we are all gettin older
So bad. Nor even close to Messiah MCollin. BUUUUUUUUUU
Messiah didn't even sing on Epicus.
Услышал их неделю назад впервые. Огонь
Is it still the original singer?
That's the original singer. Messiah Marcolin
Yup, is Johan Langqvist, the singer on Epicus.
That's the original singer, Thomas Vikstrom
@@bradmohr8098 LOL
That's the original singer, Bruce Dickinson.
