Peaceville

Epic doom metal band from Sweden led by bassist/songwriter Leif Edling. Candlemass was formed after the disbandment of Edling's previous band, Nemesis. Their debut album "Epicus Doomicus Metallicus" in 1986 and its follow up "Nightfall" in 1987 are highly regarded within the doom metal genre. Vocalist Eddie Marcolin joined the band for "Nightfall" and recorded two more albums before leaving in 1990. Thomas Vikström took over as vocalist for one more album before the band split in 1993.
In the late 1990s, Edling revived Candlemass with new line-ups and released two more albums. In 2005, the classic line-up of Edling, Marcolin, drummer Jan Lindh, and guitarists Lars Johansson and Mats Björkman reunited for a self-titled album. However, relations with Marcolin deteriorated again during preparations for a follow-up album. American singer Robert Lowe from Solitude Aeturnus became his replacement.

Peaceville is an English label founded by Paul Halmshaw, also known as Hammy, in 1987. The label primarily focuses on metal music and has gained a reputation for its high-quality releases. In 2000, Peaceville was sold to Snapper Music but continues to thrive under their ownership.

Throughout its history, Peaceville has used various catalog number formats to distinguish different types of releases. From 1987 to 1995, the label used "VILE ### T" for 12-inch singles, maxis, and EPs; "VILE ###" for LPs; and "VILE ### P" for picture LPs. From 1987 to 2002, CD releases were labeled as "CDVILE### / VILE ### CD," while MCDs/singles/EPs were labeled as "CDMVILE### / VILE ### TCD." Limited CDs were marked with "CDXVILE###."

In later years, Peaceville introduced new catalog number formats such as "CC#" for the Collectors Club series of 7-inch records in 1993-1994. Re-issued CDs with slipcases from 1999 onwards are labeled as "CDVILEM###." Since 2002, CDs have been designated as "CDVILEF###," limited CDs as "CDVILEF###X," MCDs/singles/EPs as "CD

After over 35 years of existence, Candlemass still stand tall as true heavy metal greats and kings of doom, in the footsteps of Sabbath. The band is renowned for the genre-defining masterpieces Epicus Doomicus Metallicus (1986) and Nightfall (1987), with Candlemass still thrilling an ever-devoted and expanding legion of fans to this day. Following a year where most live activity has not been possible, Green Valley Live features the band's "lockdown" session (their only 2020 show, and first ever live streamed event), with the line-up of Johan Längqvist (vocals), Mats Björkman (guitar), Lars Johansson (guitar), Leif Edling (bass) and Jan Lindh (drums) delivering their crushing sound for the masses.

The release contains numerous classic Candlemass doom anthems in the shape of Well of Souls, Mirror Mirror, Bewitched and others from the band's legendary first four albums, as well as the titanic Astorolus from the band's latest opus.
