Cathedral

UK doom metal band. Formed in 1989 in Coventry by vocalist Lee Dorrian and guitarist (and later bassist) Mark Griffiths, who met at a Carcass show and discovered they both shared a love of doom metal. Cathedral's sound progressed gradually from incredibly slow, dirge-like lengthy arrangements on their debut album [r=670391] to Black Sabbath-inspired heavy metal. The band's early years were fraught with membership changes but Dorrian and co-founding guitarist Garry Jennings remained with the band throughout their entire run. In 2013, after 24 years together, Dorrian and Jennings put the band to rest.
