After months of auditions it is now official who replaces Messiah Marcolin in Candlemass. Robert Lowe, well known for his work with Solitude Aeturnus, is the man who killed all the competition and showed that he beyond doubt is the most capable man for the job. A worthy successor!!
Robert will still be fronting SA, but since there’s a whole ocean between the bands, we/Candlemass, feel that this is a great solution that is very beneficial for everybody. The mighty voice from Dallas Texas, is thrown into the fire immediately and is starting the vocal work on the new Candlemass album in a matter of days. Candlemass are sure that the words “amazing” and “incredible” will be used to describe the result! Candlemass would also like to thank all the gifted singers who applied for the job. Many talents from all over the world have been heard. We are sure that they will continue to be heard for a long time, but not in Candlemass. The band have finally found the ideal replacement for Messiah Marcolin – Robert Lowe! The new album will KILL!!

CANDLEMASS

le remplacant de messiah est robert lowe de solitude aeternus , tres bonne voix je trouve

C'est bien pour CANDLEMASS y a pas photo, par contre ça fait chier si le Robert s'apprêtait à quitter Solitude Aeturnus. Car c'est quand même vachement mieux que Candlemass.

Bon maintenant, Solitude aeturnus ne sort pas des albums tous les ans...

connais pas du tout ce robert lowe ... sa voix se rapprocherait de qui d'autre ? histoire de se faire une idée ?

difficile à dire.....
hmmm tu peux toujours lire la chro du dernier Solitude Aeturnus sur NIME pour avoir une petite idée.

Il chante mieux que Messiah je trouve. chant plus divin, plus profond.

c'est quoi NIME ?

C'est Nightfall in Metal Earth.

And now onto the jaw dropping news. Robert is joining Candlemass as their new lead singer. We’re not joking. We’re also letting everyone know that nothing has changed in Solitude Aeturnus and Robert will continue on with Solitude Aeturnus as well. Our live touring schedule is very minimal and we in the band see no conflict whatsoever with this situation. I personally support the decision 100%. It’s all about the music to all of us and this is a chance for Robert to be involved in making some more great music outside of Solitude Aeturnus. Why not, right? Leif Edling has been a friend of mine for many years and the decision has been made between both bands with utmost respect from the Candlemass camp. Robert is still 100% committed to continuing on with SA as we would normally have continued onward. He can’t escape it just like myself as it’s in is brain and blood. I know that the next Candlemass album will sound unbelievable to my ears as I’m both a fan of the band and Roberts vocals so speaking for myself, I’ll win out by getting free copy of the new album (on vinyl and cd please)! Ha! Seriously, this will be a great opportunity for Robert and we all wish him and Candlemass great success together. Don’t worry, Solitude Aeturnus will do another record and continue to play live as much as our personal schedules will allow. Look for more new on the Candlemass webpage with regard to their new album and live schedule for this year!
Thanks and praise again to all of you that have posted on our web and myspace! I am personally touched by each of your comments and look forward to creating more heavy sounds for the ears!

ça me rassure quant à l'avenir de SOLITUDE AETURNUS. Robert Lowe reste bien le chanteur de SA. Il vient donner un coup de main à des amis c'est tout.
