Label: Back On Black
Reissued 2013, Originally released 2005
Cathedral turned in lot of decent albums over a long and glorious career, but every one had a slightly different character. The Garden of Unearthly Delights harks back to the more extreme sound of early '90s Cathedral and skips over the more groovy, stoner albums that followed The Carnival Bizarre. There's also an angrier, faster, almost punkier tone here, though it's still as heavy and as doomed as a concrete zeppelin. Those two elements combine to make a classic Cathedral release that experiments on almost every song, something that marked the band throughout their career.
