This is the first official reissue of The Candles Burning Blue’s highly appraised cult album
Pearls Given To The Swine. For two decades the original CD pressing has been sought after
but nearly impossible to find.
Known for their violent and chaotic gigs, The Candles Burning Blue were an unconventional
Gothic Rock band. Instead of romantic beauty they dealt with the harsher aspects of the
darkness oozing from their own troubled lives. Even though they only released two CD-r, a
split 7” and one full album, their impact on the Finnish Goth underground was a lasting one.
Pearls Given To The Swine was recorded in 2000 and released in 2001 on CD, with only 500
official pressed. Some years later new appeared from shady sources, but
basically the album disappeared from the face of the Earth.
In 2001 the band started to work on the second album Pleasure Dome and also had some
material recorded for the projected third album Abhorrence, but ceased to exist before any
of this material was released. Until now. This reissue has a full length bonus disc consisting
of these songs.
The Candles Burning Blue had its roots firmly in Gothic Rock as performed by bands like
Bauhaus, Christian Death, Virgin Prunes and The Cure, but they mixed in elements of
experimentalism and art rock. Pearls Given To The Swine is a lost and found classic of
Finnish Gothic Rock, and a fine example of Finnish dark culture around the turn of the
millennium.
Members went on to play in bands like Reverend Bizarre, The Puritan, Werwolf Lodge and
Opium Warlords, but never reunited.
