Stockholm, Sweden-based doom metal band Candlemass issued 12th full-length studio album The Door To Doom<\/em> on February 22nd, 2019 through Napalm Records.<\/p>\n

The outing features a guest appearance from Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi, who contributes a solo on the track \u2018Astorolus – The Great Octopus\u2019.<\/p>\n

Tony Iommi commented: \u201cCandlemass are a major force in Scandinavian heavy rock and have always acknowledged the influence we had on their music. They asked if I\u2019d contribute to a track which sounded pretty good so I thought \u2018why not\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

Candlemass mainman Leif Edling added: \u201cWe feel very honoured that Tony Iommi said yes to play the solo on \u2018Astorolus\u2019. The song was sent to the management and amazingly enough, the master agreed to let his mighty SG sing on the track!<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me personally this is a dream come true. Tony Iommi has always been my hero and guiding light when it comes to heavy music, so to hear that he likes the song and also would like to play on it gave me chills down the spine! I\u2019m still in shock! But kudos to him to be so cool to even listen to it. Hats off! Tony Iommi is and will always be God!\u201d<\/p>\n
