극단적인 스피드로 내달리는 Grindcore와는 반대로 극단적으로 어둡고 느리며 우울한 사운드로 일관하는 Doom Metal의 대표적인 밴드로 꼽히는 Cathedral의 데뷔작 Forest Of Equilibrium이다. 후기 Doom Metal의 역사에서 중요한 위치를 점하는 앨범으로 Napalm Death 출신의 보컬리스트 Lee Dorrian을 주축으로 결성된 이후 데모앨범 In Memorium을 제작하였으며 으듬해 Forest Of Equilibrium을 공개하게 된다. 기존 둠메틀의 장례식 분위기의 어둡고 침침한 사운드에 섬세한 어쿠스틱 기타를 도입하는 등의 다양한 시도를 엿볼 수 있다.

둠메탈이라는 장르는 극단적으로 느리다는 인식이 있지만 이 앨범을 들어보면 꼭 그렇지만도 않다. 물론 천천히 갈때는 블랙사바스의 1집의 생각나기도 하지만 묵직함을 유지한 상태로 미들~하이 템포로 달려주는 파트도 꽤나 많다. 멜랑콜리하면서 요상한 분위기의 리프/멜로디가 마음에... Read More

Cathedral’s sophomore album is a slight transition from their purely Doomy debut. Never thought I would say this, but the Stoner tinge added here definitely improves the album. The riffs and energy here is awesome, and some tracks, namely the first half, are just great fun. Even so, they retain that Doomy delivery and aesthetic, with interesting lyricism that dances between a... Read More
