Cathedral - 'Seventh Coming', May 5, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Seventh Coming (Audio CD)
As the track Nocturnal Fist drills down into your grey matter at a slow and even pace you realise the gods of doom are back.
Let it be told that the spawning of Black Sabbath fly the flag like no other! Seventh Coming delivers an album of epic proportions catapulting me back to what true metal stands for. There is no need for 3 guitarist and 2 bassists, 4 drummers, samplers and a plethora of makeup and/or masks. A simple but so effective system of 4 rumbling machines destroying all in their path equipped with a battery of ammunition no longer seen in music today.
Brain Dixon leads the attack my murdering a drum kit surely armour plated for this exercise. Lee Smee thunders along with bass lines that equal a good 11 on the Richter scale. Gaz Jennings enigmatic guitar style shreds through with marksman precision. No way better to compliment a formidable armoury than with the recognisable yet eccentric vocals of Lee Dorian..ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, this is how metal should be played, no frills, no bells and whistles!
A little short with only 10 tracks but maybe Im just greedy! Killer tracks that cause just that extra bit of damage; Carnival Bizarre, Empty Mirror.
If theres only one album you add to your collection for Xmas. Let it be this one!
