A forgotten gem: "Witches" with Tony Martin on vocals

[doom]

I had almost completely forgotten about this version until I stumbled across it again today, and I honestly think it's worth sharing.
Tony Martin's take on Witches sounds fantastic. He brings his own unmistakable voice to the song while still keeping the dark and epic atmosphere that makes it such a great Candlemass track.

Tony also performed Witches live during Candlemass' spectacular 20th anniversary concert in Stockholm, where several current and former Candlemass vocalists shared the stage throughout the evening.
Personally, I still prefer Messiah's album version, but Tony Martin's interpretation is incredibly strong and offers a fascinating "what if?" glimpse into an alternative chapter of Candlemass history.

What do you think? Could you imagine an entire Candlemass album with Tony Martin on vocals?
