Cathedral´s last effort "Caravan
Beyond Redemption" was a big disappointment to me but with their new release
they have found their way back to my heart. Not only have they created good
listenable music again but the quartet has also taken a trip back to their
somber doom days. Slow and heavy riffs bring back the good old Cathedral sound
although the very important playfulness is still there. The sound is perhaps a
little harsher than before but they have without a doubt improved on the last
album. The production is very interesting and makes it sound like an album
from the early eighties (anyone knows Black Sabbath?) but still the sound
quality is great. Even though the slow doom riffs are in majority there are
also faster and more aggressive passages and altogether the tempo is more
varied than it was on their debut album. The productions and the vocal sound
is really great but I still wish for more from a band like Cathedral. The
music is good but apart from the amazing "Whores To Oblivion" and the very
nice "Ultra Earth" the songs are not fishing for grammy awards. The album
was produced by Billy Anderson (Sleep, Orange
Goblin).
