CATHEDRAL UK TOUR ANNOUNCED
To celebrate the release of their latest album ‘The Guessing Game’ Cathedral have announced 6 live shows in late April / early May 2010. Taking in England, Scotland and both Southern and Northern Ireland these dates will represent the bands first headlining tour since the Doomed Trinity package of 2006.
Keeping in the Cathedral tradition of delivering the best possible touring package they can, the band are proud to announce the addition of Tokyo’s heaviest sons of Sabbath Church of Misery and the Orthodox Doom meets True Metal powerhouse that is Indianapolis's The Gates of Slumber.
‘The Guessing Game’ a Double Album which stands as Cathedral’s 9th full length release will hit the shops on April 29th 2010. Again, produced by Warren Riker (Down, Crowbar, The Fugees) and recorded at Chapel Studios in Lincolnshire ‘The Guessing Game’ marks perhaps the most dizzyingly eclectic, eccentric and fascinating album they’ve yet committed to posterity. Cathedral’s frame of reference has always been a unique one, yet here their curious and captivating sound takes on new dimensions, fuelled in equal parts by a fiercely anti-establishment imperative borne from punk rock origins, and a skyward reach gleaned from a longstanding devotion to the most outré and rewarding realms of progressive rock, folk and psychedelia. A 78-minute, 13-track double-disc set magnum opus, ‘The Guessing Game’ fuses the expansive ambition of the most ornate gatefold double-album with Cathedral’s trademark marriage of incandescent ire and monstrous riffage.
