The Ethereal Mirror is an album that is a sort of transitional piece for Cathedral, somewhere between the what the fuck is that under that stone? Help, I’m lost in the woods! mind-fuck of Forest of Equilibrium, and the good-time witch-finding doom of The Carnival Bizarre. As with most Cathedral albums you get a good juxtaposition between the more straightforward rocky songs and the crushing, autumnal doom metal.

This is Cathedral’s big label album, the one that they did after Forest of Equilibrium, which nearly invented doom metal. But already, on their second album, they sound completely different, with a more stoner sound that the doom fans derided as disco doom. Album opener Velvet Vortex is an instrumental number that is not bad, followed quickly by Ride, a nutty psychedelic thing, if a bit boring. Enter The Worms is more my style, as it has that doom metal bite and plenty of growl.
