They're one of my favorite doom metal bands. Imo it just doesn't much better in the world of epic doom metal. My favorite albums of their's are Epicus Doomicus Metallicus,Nightfall,Ancient Dreams, & Tales of Creation. Those are classics. I like Johan Längqvist's vocals. But Messiah Marcolin's vocal took Candlemass's music to a nother level atmospherically. Their guitarists,drummer & bassist are first rate imo.

Those first four albums are without a doubt essential slabs of doom! I agree with you that Messiah really elevated the band after the debut. I do like Robert Lowe's vocals, defintely check out his other band, Solitude Aeturnus, if you like Candlemass. They have recorded some killer albums as well.
I just picked up the new Candlemass ep, Lucifer Rising, two new tracks, a re-recording of "Demon's Gate" plus a live set. The new tracks are pretty good.

Into the Depths of Sorrow
Beyond the Crimson Horizon
Through The Darkest Hour
Downfall
Adagio
Alone
This is what I have from Candlemass.
Witchcraft Demo
Tales of Creation Demo
Epicus Doomicus Metallicus
Nightfall
Ancient Dream
Tales of Creation
Chapter VI
Dactylis Glomerata
From the 13th Sun
Candlemass
King of the Grey Islands
Lucifer Rising
Doom metal is my favorite metal genre. For people who liked raw 70's Sabbath or Psychedelic rock I'd recommend From the 13th Sun. Though it took me a few spins for me to like it. It is just missing the epic feel and Candlemass solos I love.
