  • @steelerfreak1977
    @steelerfreak1977 4 года назад +7

    1a. The Ethereal Mirror
    1b. The Carnival Bizarre
    Those two are absolute masterpieces and I can’t decide which I like better.
    2. Forest of Equilibrium
    3. Supernatural Birth Machine
    I lost track of Cathedral after that but those two albums are amongst my all time favorites by anybody.

    Iommi played on Utopian Blaster, which also includes the little nod to Sabbath in the lyrics "Who's your Master Now?". Met them twice, once in London at the garage playing with Orange Goblin and then later in Brisbane opening for Paradise Lost. Great down to earth English gentlemen who don't mind a game of pool, a refreshing ale and a herbal cigarette on a warm Summer's evening in the Valley (Fortitude). Forest is my favourite with Ethereal Mirror and Carnival Bizarre equal second. Soul Sacrifice and In Memorium EPs are fantastic and Endtyme is very underrated. What a great band.

    Thanks Pete for ranking Cathedral. They are one of my favorite doom/stoner bands, so I'm glad to see you feature them. So many good albums, but here are my top 3:
    1 - The Carnival Bizarre
    2 - The Ethereal Mirror
    3 - The VIIth Coming

    Cathedral is a fantastic band, and like you said, they never released a sub-par album. Yes, their style changed somewhat from time to time, yet they always kept up the quality. My rankings:
    1 Forest of Equilibrium
    2 Last Spire
    3 Endtyme
    4 Carnival Bizarre
    5 Ethereal Mirror
    6 Garden of Unearthly Delights
    7 VIIth Coming
    8 Caravan Beyond Redemption
    9 Supernatural Birth Machine
    10 Guessing Game
    Glad you mentioned Dave Patchett’s artwork. He is an amazing talent.

    • @Gregbaltzer

      Lee has never been a fan of Supernatural Birth Machine. The record label forced them into the studio within a year of their previous album. Lee said he was still writing the lyrics right up to going in and recording his vocals. He said they'd never do that again. I think there's great tracks on there, but it's their weakest album

  • @rendumen

    My dive into the Cathedral catalogue, a few years back, lead me to a 70's prog band by the same name, with an album called Stained Glass Stories. It was lumped in with this Cathedral on spotify. I highly recommend you check that album out, if you don't know it.

    Of the five I own / my favorite is 1993. ETHEREAL MIRROR/ just my opinion / but I’m for clean vocals/ obviously everyone hears things differently. In addition/ some tremendous album covers.

  • @Gregbaltzer
    @Gregbaltzer 4 года назад +1

    The story behind Endtyme is that after Caravan Beyond Redemption Lee got drunk on the plane during the tour and said if they didn't bring the heaviness back that he was quitting the band...the result of that drunken threat was Endtyme. If you haven't gotten the Hopkins Ep, it's worth it for Cathedral's cover of Author Brown's Fire alone. The Static Magic/Cosmic Funeral Ep is one of the best Eps ever made.

  • @johnwheatcroft7798

  • @jeffersoncamargo3738

    I always do albums ranking for all the bands I love, but, I still didn't do one for Cathedral, 'cos it's hard, even being a fan for more than 20 years.
    The transitional point between the In Memorium and Forest Of Equilibrium era is the fantastic ep Soul Sacrifice, which I'll certainly put in my ranking; then, between The Ethereal Mirror and The Carnival Bizarre, they made Statik Majik which contains the very first song I ever heard from the band, which is Cosmic Funeral and the totally tripped out prog monster The Voyage Of The Homeless Sapien, which contains one of the heaviest and mosntrous riffs of all times, which Earache Records used as the intro to their video releases. Unique as is The Garden!
    Their albums and EP's have lots of great bonus tracks for the japanese editions.
    Just for curiosity: master Tony Iommi plays the solos on Utopian Blaster and Dave Patchett made the painting parts for Iron Maiden's Dance Of Death artwork.
    This a band that has a special place in my musical world. VIVA CATHEDRAL!!! \m/

    What a pleasant surprise. Cathedral never made a bad album. They sound like a relative of the Sabbath family tree. The artwork often expands to multiple panels of unearthly delight. Lee Dorians vocals and Gary Jennings Iommi fueled riffs propel this band IMO to legends of doom. Carnival Bizarre from top to bottom is my pick for best album.

    I agreed with everything you said. I struggle with "Forest..." I like it but I have to be in the mood for it and Wouldn't recommend it as an album to start with. It stands on its own. Cathedral came into their own on Ethereal Mirror. Endtyme is the under rated one for me.

    And IMO The Garden of Unearthly Delights and Endtyme are pretty underrated, they are not the best part of discography, but definetely worth your attention - they sound more like a Soul Sacrifice track and the sound itself is very massive and dirty.

    Forest of Equilibrium stands out from all the next albums, it's really as weird and surrealistic as the album cover. I'm not a huge doom metal listener because of that introspection and self-pity, but Cathedral's doom is very theatrical and exaggerated, and you don't have to be depressed to tune in to the vibe of the album.
