2019 re-issue on splatter vinyls with gatefold cover

Cathedral´s ninth studio album, their first since 2005´s TheGarden of Unearthly Delights, is a double disc, and it featuressome of the most psychedelic, progressive material in the band´sentire catalog. Originally formed out of vocalist Lee Dorrian´sdistaste for the burgeoning death metal sound of his previous band,grindcore pioneers/stalwarts Napalm Death, Cathedral sounded like apure throwback to the doom of the early ´70s on their first fewreleases, but over the course of their long career, their albumshave displayed rock & roll swagger and lysergicexperimentation. The Guessing Game is in many ways a magnum opus,offering examples of everything Cathedral does well. "CasketChasers" is a roaring stoner metal anthem worthy of moderndoomsters like Down or any of Scott "Wino" Weinrich´s bands, whilethe eight-minute "Funeral of Dreams" is a multifaceted,retro-psychedelic excursion reminiscent of Uriah Heep. "Requiem forthe Voiceless" is pure, creeping Sabbathian horror, while "Cats,Incense, Candles & Wine" shifts from acoustic strumming to ajazz-funk groove. Retro instrumentation (flutes and Mellotron inparticular) and production techniques abound. This album lives upto its title in spades; it´s impossible to predict, listening toone song, what the next one will sound like, except for the generalsurety that it´ll sound like it could have been recorded (on tape,not into a hard drive) anytime between 1969 and today.
