I’m happy to announce that the official Candlemaniacs forum has returned.
For many years I’ve had the privilege of maintaining the official Candlemass website, candlemass.se. The site has always been intentionally simple, focusing on news, discography, history, and preserving the band’s legacy. However, one important piece has been missing for a long time: the community.
Many years ago, Candlemass had an active forum where fans from all over the world gathered to discuss albums, concerts, bootlegs, memorabilia, and everything related to the band. For reasons that made sense at the time, the forum was eventually closed down.
Now it is finally back.
In an era dominated by endless social media feeds, short attention spans, algorithms, and what many describe as brainrot, I believe there is still a place for the classic forum experience. A place where discussions don’t disappear after a few hours, where knowledge is preserved, and where fans can build a real community around a shared passion.
That is exactly what Candlemaniacs aims to be.
The new forum is built on phpBB and will continue to grow over time with improved design, expanded resources, discographies, interviews, FAQs, historical archives, and hopefully thousands of discussions between Candlemass fans from around the world.
Whether you’ve been following the band since Epicus Doomicus Metallicus, discovered them through one of the later albums, or simply want to learn more about one of the pioneers of epic doom metal, you’re more than welcome to join us.
Welcome back to the old-school internet.
