Candlemass – King Of The Grey Islands (2007)

December 1, 2023

If I had to sum up King Of The Grey Islands in three words it would be chunky, doomy and consistent. Robert Lowe takes a little time to adjust to after the departure once more of Messiah (bye bye).

King Of The Grey Islands is also one of those albums that I really enjoy yet doesn’t actually pop off the page for me with its cover art nor particularly thrill me when it’s coming out of the stereo, It is, by all accounts, dependable, heavy doom. Consistent, like I said.
