Candlelight

Candlelight is a UK based metal label that was founded by Lee Barrett. Known for its dedication to the genre, Candlelight has been a driving force in the metal music scene since its inception. In 2016, the label was acquired by Universal Records, marking a new chapter in its history.

With an impressive roster of *artists* and performers, Candlelight has consistently delivered high-quality releases that resonate with metal fans worldwide. The label's commitment to supporting emerging talent and pushing boundaries within the genre has earned it a reputation as one of the most influential labels in the industry.

Under the guidance of former owners Steve Beatty and Edward Christie, Candlelight grew into a powerhouse within the metal community. Their passion for music and unwavering dedication to their artists allowed them to build strong relationships within the industry and foster an environment where creativity thrived.

Absu is a dark trip through what proscriptor calls 'mythological occult metal.' Absu mixes in good old fashioned thrash with their black metal, a combination that's both groovy and ominous. synths add plenty of atmosphere, usually in a subtle fashion, but not always. There are a lot of guest musicians on Absu. Blasphemer (Mayhem, Ava Inferi) contributes a couple of guitar solos; Nornagest (Enthroned), Mindwalker (the Firstborn) and Vorskaath (Zemial) are guest vocalists.
