Doom Metal/Stoner | RAR 3% Rec. | FilePost.com

We’ve always had some doom in the scene, starting in the seventies with the mighty Sabbath and of course Trouble, Saint Vitus and Candlemass in the eighties. But this album, together with early Paradise Lost realized the birth of doom-death and (and later on funeral-doom metal) in its purest form. Cathedral however were much slower on their debut than Paradise Lost have ever been and since then started decaying in terms of originality and doomyness. With each following album they started sounding more and more like Sabbath and Lee Dorian learned how to sing later on.

On this first album Dorian still had some of his Napalm Death days grunting left in him, resulting in a vocal style balancing between death grunts and extremely melancholic whining. This perfectly suited the song material which was almost of a nihilistic simplicity.

The songs were long but for some reason contained just enough variation to keep the album extremely interesting from start to finish. ‘Ebony Tears’ was the video song and one of the most catchy ones on the album. The short grooving hippie song ‘Soul Sacrifice’ was an omen of the style they’d play on later albums.

The intro ‘Picture of Beauty & Innocence’ on some other non-metal sections are happy laid back tunes that for some reason fit the album due to the extreme contrast with the heavy doom metal. This album is so depressing it always cheers me up! Is that difficult to understand? Well, it’s the truth. I always feel quite happy every time I’ve listened to this album.

Not only is this album a milestone in the history of doom-death but also the individual songs are of high quality and the album has withstood time with ease. A must-have release.
