2012 studio album by Candlemass
Psalms for the Dead is the eleventh studio album by the Swedish doom metal band Candlemass , released on 8 June 2012.[9] At the time of its release, the band stated that this would be their final album,[10] [11] though bassist and founding member Leif Edling has since retracted this claim.[12] Psalms for the Dead is, however, the last Candlemass album recorded with singer Robert Lowe , who left the band just six days before its release.[13]
The album would become Candlemass' last full-length release in over half a decade, until the 2019 release of their twelfth studio album The Door to Doom ; during those seven years, however, the band released two EPs featuring new material: Death Thy Lover (2016) and House of Doom (2018).
