MUSIC CARTEL

CATHEDRAL-In Memorium
I actually stumbled upon this (once) rarity about a year ago when a friend of mine scoffed it up and left me searching. But now, thanks to The Music Cartel, this once rare gem is now easy to find and includes some live tracks as well. What we have here is 4 early era (pre-Forest of Equilibrium) Cathedral tracks that are equally as slow and amazing as the debut. It even includes an earlier version of Ebony Tears. Crushingly slow and heavy riffs with drum beats at a snails pace which in turn deliver some doom that was quite groundbreaking and ahead of its time. As a bonus, there are 5 live tracks which also take place right before the recording of the Earache debut. The bottom line is: if you consider yourself a fan of Cathedral when they were good (I personally stop at Soul Sacrifice) or a fan of doom metal in general, then you must own this.

SALLY
The vocals get kind of annoying, they sound like someone whining. The music is like a hard rock. I don’t care for the production too much. The amps for the guitars seemed muffled or something. The bio says this is a mix between stoner rock and doom. No wonder why I don’t like it.
