Prime example of doom done wrong. Where are the good riffs? There are none, some are even too 'happy.' There is no atmosphere, no emotional response, no gloom and certainly no doom... The music is mindless, monotonous, dull, bland, etc.
If you don't manage to to die of boredom from the 11 minute opening track, the next one will surely do you in. It's a shame, because the beginning of the song sounds promising, then it goes to shit.
The band tries to mix it up with some flute and keys on the final track but it still ends up sucking.
Cathedral are basically playing as slow as possible and then passing it off as doom. Every song just drags and drags. Lee Dorian's vocals are uninteresting and don't help at all.
Painful listen.
Want some real doom? Check Trouble.

Agreed, fantastic group. Not only they kept the spirit of Sabbath alive, they also broke new grounds with their music.

I would like this album way more if the vocals were better tbh. Still, great riffs and some very solid songwriting here.
