Who is Leif Edling?
Leif Edling is best known as the main songwriter and bass player of the Swedish doom metal band Candlemass.
Edling started his musical career in the band Trilogy, then under the name of Toxic, as a singer together with Ian Haugland in 1979. He then played in a band named Witchcraft but left in 1981 and formed Nemesis in 1982. Before the Candlemass official releases, Edling also handled vocal duties in addition to playing bass.
