Advantages: Very interesting start to a great career Disadvantages: Slow, depressing and very extreme
Cathedral are one of the most underrated bands in metal history, and it’s time someone redressed the balance. Their new album, Endtyme, is being released on the 26th of February, and so I have decided to review their entire back catalogue before then. Cathedral began life way back in 1990 when vocalist Lee Dorrian left death metal legends Napalm Death behind him. Him new band, Cathedral, couldn’t have been more of a departure.
Their first release was an EP called InMemoriam, and it was pretty groundbreaking stuff for its time. Cathedral played doom metal, in the vein of Saint Vitus, but much slower and heavier. This was certainly the heaviest music being released at the time. Since then, this EP has been re-released with four live tracks.
This very early material is thoroughly unpolished, but has a strange charm all ...

Forget? I wish I could. Every time I close my eyes I see the face of the young Argentinean conscript, no ...

Bistro Jacques is a French restaurant which is situated on Hardman Street in Liverpool right in the heart of theatre land and some of our party had been there before and it came highly recommended. Arriving at the Bistro you may feel disappointed at the external appearance of the building, it looks like a couple of shops have been refurbished and knocked together to form the restaurant and has nothing fancy at all, in fact there are those metal shutters that pull down over shop windows for security once the restaurant is closed.
The main entrance looks more like a shop door but once inside you are greeted immediately, reservation checked and we ...
