Such a pity Messiah last only one album but Candlemass got Robert Lowe into the band and released a top album.

Not the best of Candlemass. Two great tracks here: "Devil's Seed" and "Clearsight". The rest is normal. Although it's a good album, but not to Candlemass' standard.

The most significant Candlemass record from the band's later period. And also the best from the Robert Lowe-era.
