Candlemass Debut New Single “Black Star”

Doom metal legends Candlemass have released the title track from their upcoming EP, Black Star. Accompanying the song is a newly shared visualizer, giving fans a first glimpse into the band’s latest offering.

Sharing their thoughts on the track, the band stated:

“‘Black Star’ is the big heavy track. Contains a bit of everything—melodic verse, monolithic riff, up-tempo Sabbathy mid part, grand ending a la Rainbow!”

Set to drop on May 9th via Napalm Records, Black Star celebrates Candlemass’ 40th anniversary. The EP includes two original tracks—Black Star and Corridors Of Chaos—along with covers of Black Sabbath’s “Sabbath Bloody Sabbath” and Pentagram’s “Forever My Queen.”
