The Complete Candlemass Discography

Post by ILNR »

Last updated: 2026-07-05
Changelog: Corrected "Doomed for Live" release year, added "Tritonus Nights" (2024), added two 2025 compilations.

The purpose of this thread is to document every official Candlemass release in one place. This includes studio albums, live albums, EPs, singles, compilations, box sets, demo recordings and official video releases.

Rather than simply duplicating existing discographies, the goal is to maintain a clean, accurate and community-driven reference for fans and collectors.

This post will be updated continuously as new releases appear or additional information is verified.

If you discover any errors, omissions or releases that should be included, please reply in this thread.
Whenever possible, please include one or more reliable sources (Discogs, Metal Archives, record labels, etc.) so the information can be verified before being added.

Constructive feedback is always appreciated.
