Psalms for the Dead is the eleventh studio album by the Swedish doom metal band Candlemass, released on 8 June 2012.[18] Despite claiming that this is their final album, the members of the band have insisted that they will not break up,[19][20] and bassist Leif Edling has stated that he is open to recording new music with Candlemass again.[21] It is, however, the last Candlemass album recorded with singer Robert Lowe, who left the band just six days before its release.[22]

As like as the two previous albums, Psalms for the Dead received rave reviews by either music critics or band fans upon release.
