Cathedral - Carnival Bizarre (1995)

Now we're taking the direction I wanted to. This album is the perfect balance between stoner rock and doom, and trying to find out how much of those styles is more present in here would be eventually useless. Cathedral's Carnival Bizarre includes some of their most famous and best songs, such as Vampire Sun or Hopkins, and this is not something to be perceived as casual, since this album culd be considered a turning point in the band's career. their sound takes an actual shape, there are no gaps or holes, there are no doubts about which direction to follow, and this is something I really appreciate about Cathedral and about this album. I personally consider Hopkins their best song, and though the rest of the album is not as groovy and funky as this song, as I have said, there are no gaps about it, at any point of the album you are absolutely conscious that you're listening to a good band called Cathedral, and either you feel yourself into a horror movie or involved on an acid trip, you undoubtedly know you're at Dorrian's side.
