The Ethereal Mirror

Originally released in 1993, ‘The Ethereal Mirror” is the classic second album from British Doom Metallers Cathedral. Cathedral formed in the early 90’s, bringing together Lee Dorrian (vocals, ex-Napalm Death) and Garry ‘Gaz’ Jennings (ex-Acid Reign). In a move that shocked fans, Dorrian went from the world’s fastest band to arguably the slowest, as Cathedral set about bringing doom metal to the masses. Since the release this album has reached seminal status amongst fans and press as a timeless record in the doom genre including a coveted induction into Decibel Magazine’s Hall Of Fame.
