Metal band Candlemass, consisting of Johan Lanquist on vocals, Lars Johansson on lead guitar, Mappe Björkman on rhythm guitar, Leif Edling on bass and Janne Lind on drums, have announced their tour of the west coast in support of their latest album Sweet Evil Sun, which was released on Friday, November 18 via Napalm Records. The tour will begin on Friday, March 10 in Seattle, WA, and end on Friday, March 17 in San Diego, CA.

Sweet Evil Sun was produced by Marcus Jidell and features the grandness of Candlemass’ early years, exploring themes of ambition and strife, hope and failure.
