Chapter VI is Candlemass' first album since their debut without Messiah Marcolin. It is because of this that this album often gets little recognition, even amongst die hard Candlemass fans. Tomas Vikstrom's vocal delivery is absolutely stellar, and is just as good as Messiah, albeit less operatic. Musically, the songs aren't overly different from what was found on their last album Tales Of Creation. This is still very much an epic doom metal album. I suppose Tomas' vocals place less emphasis on the occult atmosphere of older Candlemass and more on an epic, heavy metal atmosphere. Definitely a worthy addition to Candlemass' stellar discography.
