Perfect pick.......2002-10-05

I am not really a fan of Candlemass, but this collection is just perfect for my taste. It's like exactly all my favourite tracks of this band are in there - no extras and none missing. Actually I feel very rarely like that about collections, "Best of"'s and "Greatest Hits"'s. Just this one is perfect pick.

Being a non-metal person... admittingly, since I bought this CD, I have gotten into experimenting more. 6 months ago, I changed the way I listen to my moods through music. Candlemass draws you in and I have not found a comparison to this feeling.

I still don't understand why Candlemass never became HUGE!!.......1999-08-23

This is av very good compilation of the BEST scandinavian metal band EVER. If you like really heavy melodic metal that steams of agony this is the band for you. They invented doom metal in the 80's and still I havent heard anyone making darker music (including loads of modern posers who just found out that Depeche Mode are really good ( they always listened to them but hid the records from their friends)).

You can trace influences from the likes of Black Sabbath and Mercyful Fate but Candlemass certainly got an own unice sound. The soaring cryinng from the operatic Messiah Marcolin are amazing. A real metalconossier shouln't be allowed to make the sign of the evil eye if not familiar with true classics like Solitude, Mirror Mirror, At the Gallows end and Samarithan just to mention a few.

But be warned. This is SLOW, DOOMY metal and it rocks like HELL (literally).
