Cathedral
The Etherial Mirror
[Earache]


Gonna do the track by track thing for this review :

'Violet Vortex' - Intro, no big deal
'Ride' - Great Sabbath riff, excellent 'metal' twin lead soloing, coolamundo vocal part when Lee says 'Womb"!!!
'Enter The Worms' - A strong track with the patented Dorrian vocal style. Heavy with menace.
'Midnight Mountain' - I hate this track. It's for the hipsters of the scene. I hate the groove!!! Crappy disco video was conceived for this song. Beware the handclap.
'Fountain Of Innocence' - Mellow then the build up of a heavy handed riff session make this a good one.
'Grim Luxuria' - Monstrous riff rawk, decent
'Jaded Entity' - Dooooooom!!!!! Sort of similar to the songs on the Soul Sacrifice EP when they pick up the pace.
'Ashes You leave' - Much like the last track
'Phantasmagoria' - Slow descent into Hell, probably the heaviest track
'Imprisoned In Flesh' - Lee tries to sing, wisely it lasts for only a minute and a half.

The two bonus tracks will not be described just to peak your curiosity. You can run out and buy it then exclaim "Bonus man"!!! when you find out what they are.
