Latest and supposedly final album from Cathedral coming April 29th

Cathedral - The Last Spire Cathedralspire

01. Entrance To Hell
02. Pallbearer
03. Cathedral Of The Damned
04. Tower Of Silence
05. Infestation Of Grey Death
06. An Observation
07. The Last Laugh
08. This Body, Thy Tomb

Quote :: "Personally speaking, this is the album I've been waiting to do since the first one [CATHEDRAL's 1991 debut, 'Forest Of Equilibrium']," says Dorrian. "It almost feels like we made our second album last in some respects. We actually recorded a lot more material but decided to sacrifice many of the tracks to make the overall album feel more complete in its nihilism.

"I don't like happy endings, I never have. So many good films are ruined by happy endings and I didn't want that to be the case with CATHEDRAL. It was my dream to bring everything full circle."

Looking foward to it. Cathedral - The Last Spire 604261

I love Forest of Equilibrium. That's good to hear they are incorporating elements of that era.

I like all of their albums to various degrees, but I really enjoyed their last few when they incorporated a more prog-rock influence to their music.

Sounds like this one will be going back to their roots though and dumping some of that newer sound. I'm fine with that too.

I really like this album, it just came in today and I've spun it 3 times. So far 'Pallbearer' is my fave.

I really like it too. Just wish it was more dark.

I have the The Ethreal Mirror, The Garden Of Unearthly Delights, and The Guessing Game. While I like all of them, and maybe just the nostalgia factor, The Ethreal Mirror blows them all way IMO (even got it as a t-shirt) Going back to the old sound for inspiration has my interest piqued. Plus that song sounds good!

I doubt this will be the last album by these cats.

It's so solid, I can see them coming back in a year or so.

This one still hasn't made it to Spotify, so I forgot about it. Will have to see if I can sample it on Youtube.

I miss the prog-rock influence their last few albums had. This new album is more straight-forward doom. Not sure how I feel about that at the moment. Might take some time before this one settles in for me.

Guessing game was OK but was a bit too soft (at least in the first disc). A mellow Cathedral just doesn't appeal to me for some reason. I preferred Garden Of Unearthly Delights.

I was glad they returned to a more classic sound for their final album. I did enjoy their more proggy stuff too though.
