Hello, i'm Pascal. Live in the suburbs of Paris. Been listening to Candlemass since 1986. Epicus Doomicus Metallicus was quite a shock to me and it's still one of my favorite bands with Black Sabbath and Blue Öyster Cult. Been active in the Facebook group for quite a few years. Great group, very friendly ! I'm sure it'll be the same here.

Re: 👋 Introduce Yourself
Hi all! Candlemass were my very first metal band; I first heard Epicus when I was 8 years old and have been a big fan ever since. It is my favorite album by them and of all time, but I also love the "classic" and Robert Lowe eras in particular. I've seen the band three times, been lucky enough to meet some of the members, and hope to see them again soon!:-)
Outside of Cmass, heavy rock and metal are my lifeblood, some of my other favorite bands being Manilla Road, Uriah Heep, Angel Witch, Heavy Load, and Hawkwind.

Re: 👋 Introduce Yourself
Currently 55 year old Dutch metalhead. Eveything started with Kiss - Dynasty, back in the late 70's.
Maiden, Saxon, Black Sabbath etc..followed a few years later...the speed and thrash metal scene...and Candlemass.
Death metal started to arise, late 80''s and 90's, and i liked some bands, but where some friends were heavily into death metal..i started listening to doom metal like Revelation, Saint Vitus, Unorthodox etc. Pretty much anything Hellhound records.
These days i also like funeral doom etc...and listen to the death metal bands i didn't listen to back in the day.
I like all kinds of stuff from prog / symphonic rock, death metal and some grind core and anything in between.
With lot's of doom and the band SWANS!
And i also love horror movies. Sir Christopher Lee being my favorite actor.
