Pinned Review
I love this album quite a bit! Such good riffs with a unique groovy sound. Been a favorite for years now. This album, and band, makes me feel like i'm part of a hieronymus bosch painting. Obviously that's due to the sick ass cover. But the songs also have this ancient weirdness to them. I haven't heard another band that scratches the itch for me the way Cathedral does. Many great riffs to head-bang to.

A very interesting take on black metal. The whole album has such a haunting but beautiful sound. It gets a little repetitive near the end of the album. But I will for sure be having some of these songs on repeat!
Such a wonderful mix of death and prog metal. I can picture such a strong scene when listening to this. Aimlessly walking through a dark forest. Spirits following not far behind. Like i'm mourning a loved one. I mean any album that feels like being in a dark forest is a win in my mind.
Great gloomy sounds. It does get a little boring in the middle. But honestly, this album is great for studying or homework.
This album has a sound so soul-crushingly beautiful it brings me to tears at times. I like to close my eyes and picture myself floating in a dark abyss while listening to these songs. I feel the emotion deep in my soul. On top of that, this album has amazing riffs and vocals to match.
Perfect, no notes.
