Description:
"The Ethereal Mirror" is the acclaimed second studio album by British doom metal pioneers Cathedral, released in 1993 and now available as a high-quality LP. This record marked a significant evolution in Cathedral's sound, blending their signature heavy doom riffs with psychedelic elements and more dynamic song structures. Standout tracks like "Ride," "Midnight Mountain," and "Fountain of Innocence" showcase the band's ability to merge crushing heaviness with infectious grooves. The LP format offers listeners an immersive analog experience that captures every nuance of this genre-defining release.
Cathedral, formed in 1989 by ex-Napalm Death guitarist Lee Dorrian, quickly established themselves as one of the most innovative forces in doom metal. Their debut album "Forest of Equilibrium" set new standards for heaviness and atmosphere within the genre, while subsequent releases saw them experiment with diverse influences ranging from classic rock to psychedelia. Over their career, Cathedral earned critical acclaim for pushing boundaries and maintaining artistic integrity until their disbandment in 2013.
