Edling agreed to release it under the Candlemass name, bringing in new singer Björn Flodkvist and enlisting Michael Amott, of Carcass and Arch Enemy fame, to thicken the guitars. Europe drummer Ian Haugland also turns up behind the kit as a guest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat came out sounds less like cathedral-sized epic doom and more like dirty, stripped-down doom rock with a stoner streak. Wiz opens on a fuzzed-up swagger, I Still See the Black drags its feet in the best possible way, and the nine-minute Dustflow lets the riffs sprawl until they start to feel like weather. Abstrakt Sun drifts toward space rock, with Carl Westholm's keyboards adding an eerie glow beneath the grind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor years this was the outlier in the catalog, the one fans argued about. Heard now, it plays as a heavy, grimy record with more hooks than its reputation suggests, and the white pressing makes it a sharp companion to the classic Candlemass albums on the shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57352639938865,"sku":"801056835956","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Candlemass-Dactylis_Glomerata_White_6d92f3ca-b609-4ac4-859d-89066e75a075.jpg?v=1793997508","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/candlemass-dactylis-glomerata-white","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
