Monsterhunter Nemesis

Nemesis was the band from Leif Edling before he started Candlemass. They released only one EP in 1982 'The Day Of Retribution'.
Two Candlemass demo songs are included as a bonus ('Blackstone Wielder' and 'Demons Gate'). Leif sings on all the tracks himself. Allthough he ain't Messiah he doesn't sing that bad on the Nemesis songs. The opening track 'Black Messiah' on this recording is also known as 'Darkness In Paradise' from the 'Ancient Dreams' album. The other 4 songs, 'In God we Trust', 'Theme Of the Guardians', 'The King Is Dead' and 'Goodnight' were never used for a Candlemass album. As I said, these songs were recorded in 1982 and they are motherfucking heavy, especially for that time period.
