3.0 out of 5 stars Short but sweet., December 5, 2005

I probably wouldn't have picked this disc up, but since i was accused of being the Witchfinder General, I did. It's a simple EP, but the title track is well worth it, and the others I like also. To my ears it's typical light metal, though some call it doom-metal, I guess it does have an overall dark vibe to it. "The Devil's Summit" is the weakest and longest track, it does have horns on it, so what out for that. This is far from being essential, but if you're a fan, or it's dirt cheap, or your name is also Hopkins, give it a shot.

This is pretty long for an EP, because like both of the other Cathedral albums I own, it's got a very long song on it. I can't complain about any of the songs, but track 5, The Devil's Summit, is pretty bizzare. It's doom/funk complete with Cathedral's trademark guitar tone backed by saxaphone. The album is easily worth the buying just for the title track which is great. Then it has a decent short song in "Fire", then a decent instrumental in "Copper Sunset" track 4 starts out like an 80's New wave song before the doom takes over. Overall it's pretty decent, just make sure you pick it up cheap. It's reccomended so long as it's under $10.
