Former Candlemass vocalist Messiah Marcolin and present Candlemass guitarist Mats “Mappe” Björkman joined Anvil on stage at Slaktkyrkan in Stockholm, Sweden, making it the primary time the duo carried out collectively in 16 years. Marcolin sang on a handful of traditional Candlemass information between 1986 and 1991, and the band is presently fronted by Epicus Doomicus Metallicus vocalist Johan Längquist.
In an interview with Blabbermouth, Björkman mentioned he and Marcolin agree that Längquist needs to be the vocalist for Candlemass till they ultimately break up… however he is nonetheless open to Marcolin becoming a member of the band on stage for some songs and even an album anniversary. Björkman particularly mentions Dusk, which turns 30 years outdated in 2027, although a more in-depth anniversary is Historical Goals, which turns 25 years outdated in 2023.
“The circle is closed, that is for positive. That is the place it’s — little question about that. The circle is closed. That is the factor I wished for a lot of, a few years. He will be the correct singer for Candlemass till we shut Candlemass. However, to reply your query, if we might have an anniversary with Dusk and he [Marcolin] may very well be doing that album, that is an open door. After all, it’s. It is the identical with him. I perceive Messiah — he would not need to be doing one music with Candlemass. He is mentioned the identical factor to me: ‘Johan is the correct singer now. I am not going again to Candlemass to be the singer.’
“It must be an occasion, an anniversary for an album. That door is open. It isn’t closed, no means. However Johan remains to be the correct singer of Candlemass, so nobody goes to suppose we will take Johan out of the band for Messiah. Johan is aware of it. He is mentioned the identical factor. We’re nonetheless household. I would not have something in opposition to seeing Messiah do Dusk.”
