On this day in 1993, Candlebox unleashed their self-titled debut album

— a raw, powerful collection of  songs that would go on to become one of the defining records of the ’90s rock era. Blending grunge grit with bluesy vocals and arena-sized hooks, Candlebox quickly resonated with a generation hungry for something both emotional and explosive. Driven by breakout hits like “Far Behind” and “You,” the album catapulted the Seattle band into the mainstream and earned them multi-platinum status. More than just a product of its time, Candlebox remains a timeless snapshot of a band pouring heart and fire into every track — and a reminder that some debuts truly do stand the test of time.
