Psalms for the Dead is the eleventh studio album by Swedish doom metal band Candlemass, released on 8 June 2012.[1] At the time of its release, the band stated that this would be their final album,[2] [3] though bassist and founding member Leif Edling has since retracted this claim.[4] Psalms for the Dead is, however, the last Candlemass album recorded with singer Robert Lowe, who left the band just six days before its release.[5]
The album would become Candlemass' last full-length release in over half a decade, until the 2019 release of their twelfth studio album The Door to Doom; during those seven years, however, the band released two EPs featuring new material: Death Thy Lover (2016) and House of Doom (2018).
