A one-shot project formed by Candlemass founder/bassist Leif Edling while that band was technically broken up. My friend Surfing Alien calls this "the epitome of modern pissed-off doom metal," which is a more apt description than I could possibly come up with. :) It's not the best music this world has ever seen, but it's good enough for a quick listen or two. Without a doubt, the best song is the 15-minute opus "Who What Where When", which actually sounds like *classic* Candlemass for the first 1/3 or so, you just have to imagine Messiah singing. :) This band also features Mike Wead, guitarist for Memento Mori and the "modern" Mercyful Fate (man, these Scandinavian bands have more interlinks than the S.F. Bay Area thrash bands, it seems!!)
