Cathedral - Forest of Equilibrium (1991)

This is the first album from the British doom band Cathedral, and it is probably the darkest of their albums. Lee Dorrian sings in his lowest notes, and the Black-sabbathian influences can easily be perceived all along the record. This album is definitely different to the groovy/funky style Cathedral is now using as their sign of identity, but anyway is an important LP to understand the whole growing procees Cathedral has undergone. Those listeners who expect the ironic lyrics and theatrical voices of Dorrian, Hammer-film-references and such things will be disappointed -though you will see some of this in the song 'Equilibrium'-, but if you are waiting for a dense and dark gloomy atmosphere, go and take it right now!
