(See below for info on this episode's ISC Radio segment. Featured Artists: Gravecrawler (Sweden), Iapetus (USA), To The Grave (Australia) and SUBMASQ (Israel)). Spearheading a resurgence both in their own flag-bearing and the greater doom-metal scene in general of late, Swedish veterans CANDLEMASS are set to bring their epic doom bell-tolls clanging across Australia in September - check out this episode's show notes via the ISC Blog below for tour details/ticket links etc! Gracing us on the podcast with doomly regality was a very chipper and humble Johan Länquist. A man with a plan and one heck of an iconic vocal prowess onstage to boot! We talk everything from thoughts and aims for the upcoming Australian tour through Your Mate Bookings, recent and past Aussie tour experiences, longevity as a band and regaining momentum decades into their career.
