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.

Necronautical have always been about exploring the darkness. Their very name means ‘To explore death’. It’s fitting, then, that on their fourth album, Slain In The Spirit, the Manchester band are pushing both their sound and their concept to the outer limits.

Since forming in 2010, Necronautical’s name has become well respected among the British black metal underground. Across three albums –2014’s Black Sea Misanthropy, 2016’s The Endurance At Night and 2019’s Candlelight Records debut Apotheosis – their sound has become one rich in its skill with the dark side of metal. Ambitious and grandiose in its symphonic touches, this velvet glove hides beneath it an aggressive iron fist. On Slain In The Spirit, this is truer than ever. Everything has been taken to a degree beyond where the band have trodden previously, with the symphonic elements swirling even more dizzyingly above a metallic attack that hits with an almost machine-like ferocity. So much so that the band have transcended black metal altogether.

Available on transparent amber double vinyl and transparent amythyst double vinyl. Also available on CD. This format includes an exclusive bonus track ‘Disciple’, a Slayer cover.
