Candlemass filmed its 20th anniversary concert on March 31, 2007 at Stockholm's Kolingsborg for a DVD, "20 Year Anniversary Party", which was released on October 22 via Snapper/Peaceville. Candlemass performed with no less than seven (!) different vocalists including the band's former singers Johan Langquist and Tomas Vikström, plus the group's latest addition, Robert Lowe of Solitude Aeturnus. In addition to the concert footage, the DVD includes interviews with all the vocalists from that evening as extra material.
A "20 Year Anniversary Party" "mini-site" containing more information about the release can be found at this location.
Candlemass' new album, "King of the Grey Islands", was released June 22 via Nuclear Blast Records.
