Candlemass uden Messiah?
Den 28. april kontaktede Messiah Marcolin Blabbermouth.net for at fortælle, at han vil forlade Candlemass og at han med 100% sikkerhed ikke vil komme tilbage. Han siger hertil:
"We could not agree on how to do the new album"
Der er dog siden kommet et nyt statement på Candlemass' hjemmeside, hvor bandet skriver:
"Messiah's got a severe pre-recording psychosis at the moment, so folks, please calm down. The band is confident that he will sing on the album as planned. Candlemass will enter the new Polar Studios in may to record the follow up to last years success "Candlemass". The new album will feature nine tracks but is yet untitled. The band produces themselves.
