The record

Title: Candlemass – Epicus Doomicus Metallicus
Year/Genre: 1986, Doom Metal
Condition: New

Cultural Facts:

  1. The fake-Latin title was a deliberate world-building move—presenting doom metal like an ancient manuscript instead of a “band record.”

  2. Vocalist Johan Längquist wasn’t a full-time member; his one-off role became lore, and the band’s later lineup shifts turned into a saga.

  3. The underground spread through tape trading and small Euro mail-order, where “epic doom” was basically a secret handshake scene.

    This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

    Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
