Leif Edling
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Leif Edling is best known as the main songwriter and bass player of the Swedish doom metal band Candlemass. Before, he played bass in a band called Nemesis. Early on he handled the vocal duties as well. He started his musical career however in the band Trilogy, then under the name of Toxic, as a singer together with Ian Haugland (later the drummer of Europe) in 1979.
After the departure of Messiah Marcolin, Candlemass more and more became his solo project, until the band reformed in 2002. In the meantime, Leif had started the band Abstrakt Algebra with Mats Levén on vocals and Mike Wead on guitar. The band met with limited success and split up after one album.
In 2002 he founded another doom metal band, named Krux with much more success.
