"Solitude" is one of Candlemass' most iconic tracks, and it aptly captures the essence of what doom metal stands for. Hailing from their 1986 debut album "Epicus Doomicus Metallicus," "Solitude" is a masterclass in the slow, weighty, and atmospheric style that Candlemass helped pioneer. The song starts with a haunting guitar riff, setting the tone for what's to come. This intro alone has often been praised for its ability to immediately encapsulate the listener in an atmosphere of despair.
