Very mediocre collection of songs by Cathedral in their Stoner Metal style.
level 10   95/100
excellent recording, but it's a shame that it wasn't released as a long-playing album. The songs on the EP are perfect with excellent Doom/Stoner Metal ideas. I know that there are two cover versions on the album, but they are mastered as a unit.

이들의 음악 항상 특정 장르로 규정하기가 힘들다. 하나의 밴드에서 어떻게 이렇게 다양한 장르의 음악들을 보여주는 것인지....
