Let me just start this by saying that I don't usually review doom and stoner albums, though I'm a huge fan of a lot of sludge and stoner bands, I find it hard to explain what such great bands do to impress me and keep my ears entertained, from Electric Wizard to Crowbar, Acid King to Big Business, Witchfinder General and Om, I like a lot of variety in my fuzz. Which brings me to my point: few and cherished are the bands that venture into this drug fused genre and manage to stay consistent for entire decades, while bringing variety in what they do.

I was introduced to this band through this record. Needless to say it's always great to be under influence while listening to stoner metal , hence the name of the genre. The minute Vodoo Fire started, some strange thoughts crossed my mind. The music, then the talking (obviously in another language), the whole atmosphere this first impression was creating made me uneasy. But I was immediately headbanging after the weird intro gave way to a very heavy, riff driven tune. The production is perfect for this kind of music, I could hear everything and nothing was too loud yet it was all perfectly deafening. The vocals got more and more catchy, especially with the lyrics, I always sing along to this. But what marked me more was the outro of this opener. After what felt like a punch in the teeth, the cadence is brought down to an extremely soothing progression that sounds like it was there to put me back at ease.

Cathedral don't have a typical stoner or doom sound at all, the guitars are heavy alright but not overly distorted, the bass is very low and round, the drums very clear. When the guitar leads you could perfectly hear everything, all instruments were under perfect control of their respective players as well. There are a lot of very intricately written riffs, awesome solos full of flavor, and the rhythm section is outstanding. The bass tone and the licks as well as the drumming make this one of the heaviest records I own.

To play at such a high level and to sound as such can get repetitive. But unlike so many records I find myself going back to this one always because if everything the songs provide. The tenacity, the variety, the musicianship, the themes, the heaviness, it's all there. No song really resembles the other, except in the sense where they all crush. There is no getting bored off this.

The highlight's gotta be about halfway through the record, with the track The Caravan. It almost sounds out of place. Almost easy-listening, it still manages to lift me up high than I am at the moment I start listening to the album. Definitely one of my favorite instrumental tracks of all times, pretty much the same thing that goes over and over all the way to the end.

If you could conjure up some balls and listen to some face melting heavy stuff, while not getting too serious, getting silly and entertained, then you should look no further than this release, another one in another great band's catalog.
