The end prompted that I suppose.
The band would go into 1992 recording four more songs for an EP release and participate on the Gods of Grind and Campaign For Musical Destruction tours alongside a host of death metal bands, the latter of the two being the band's first American tour.
The band spent that year touring Japan, Australia, the United States and Europe as the band released their fourth album Supernatural Birth Machine on 12 November 1996. 2008 and 2009 would also see Earache reissues of The Carnival Bizarre[11], Forest of Equlibrium[12] and The Ethereal Mirror[13]. The band followed with a host of festival appearances[8], including Japan (Loud Park)[9] and Mexico (Monterrey Metal Fest)[10]. Churches with the function of "cathedral" are usually specific to those Christian denominations with an episcopal hierarchy, such as the Catholic, Anglican, Eastern Orthodox, and some Lutheran churches.
In an April 2013 interview with NoiseCreep, Dorrian, along with describing the finality of The Last Spire, stated that there will not be a Cathedral reunion, at the time focusing entirely on running Rise Above Records: I think the way that we’ve planned the end of the band we feel really good about.
It was between Lee and me and more so Lee.
They briefly switched to Spitfire Records in 2002 and released The VIIth Coming. 1994 would also see two EP releases with similar tracklists: Statik Majik (Europe, 5 April 1994) and Cosmic Requiem (30 August 1994), featuring leftovers from The Ethereal Mirror and the 22-minute multi-chapter piece "Voyage of the Homeless Sapien". I’m 45. We’ve been there since the beginning and the band meant much more to us than churning out one record after another without any thought in it.
We’re now getting offered loads of money to do reunion gigs.
I think he would have kept going and going. Led by ex- Napalm Death vocalist Lee Dorrian, the band was signed to Earache Records in 1991. He’s doing his label. (On the Reunion)Never. On 6 February 2011, Cathedral would announce they were to make their "retirement" from the scene, with their final shows set for that year and to record their final studio album in 2012. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Cathedrals is the fourth major studio album from Tenth Avenue North. Cathedral would focus their efforts on their next record in the meantime.
I think the chances of us getting back together are very, very slim.
It was almost like writing your last will and testament.
At least you know you’re going out with a record you like made specifically to finish on.
Forming in 1989 and initially starting out as a doom metal band with hints of death/doom and the seminal doom of 1991's Forest of Equlibrium, the band quickly evolved into an often unpredictable mix of stoner rock, psychedelic rock, 70s hard rock and heavy metal upon signing to Columbia for The Ethereal Mirror (and later back to Earache for a handful of subsequent records). From there the band took what was billed as a "mental break" and the live performances would become sporadic over the next three years, namely appearances at Hard Rock Laager (Estonia, 2007), Damnation Festival (2008), Roadburn Festival (2009), HellFest (2009), Kolbetasonik (Spain, 2009), Legends of Chaos (Three Dates in Italy, 2009) and Wacken Open Air (2009).
Take your favorite fandoms with you and never miss a beat. I’m not saying it was becoming tiring but we had pretty much achieved what we wanted to do. It’s just not going to happen. The band would recruit Scott Carlson (Repulsion, Death) on bass along with Joe Hasselvander (Pentagram, Raven) on drums and Victor Griffin (Pentagram) as a second guitarist for the tour, though Barry Stern (Trouble) would fill in on some of the dates. At this moment in time, I’ve played songs like “Ride” and “Hopkins” and “Midnight Mountain” for years. The band's first show took place on 12 October 1990 at the Stoker in Coventry, followed by an eleven-date tour of England alongside Saint Vitus (With one date in Scotland) and an appearance at Barnet Rock Festival. Cathedral would essentially embark on a worldwide farewell tour, performing two dates in Japan, at Maryland Deathfest in the USA, two dates in Brazil, the Czech Republic, Finland and two days in Greece (One date in Germany at Hammer of Doom was intended but canceled due to conflicts with the festival organizers). He met Mark Griffiths at a Carcass show in Cardiff and they discussed their love for doom bands like Black Sabbath, Candlemass, Pentagram, Trouble and so on. I think when you’re not one hundred percent committed and enthusiastic it starts to tell. The band means more to us than that. I’m sure Lemmy had to play “Ace of Spades” thousands of times and “Paranoid” and “Smoke on the Water.” I’m not saying “Ride” is in that type of context but “Ride,” “Hopkins” and “Midnight Mountain” were the songs everyone associated us with. Cathedral's last live performance was on 5 March 2012 at the Claremont Showgrounds in Perth, Western Australia. Lee was the same.

Winchester Cathedral " is a song by The New Vaudeville Band, a British novelty group established by the song's composer, Geoff Stephens, and was released in late 1966 by Fontana Records.
All of the recent members of Cathedral have since went on to other bands in some capacity: Riffipedia - The Stoner Rock Wiki is a FANDOM Music Community.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The New Vaudeville Band was a group created by songwriter Geoff Stephens in 1966 to record his novelty composition " Winchester Cathedral ", a song inspired by the dance bands of the 1920s and a Rudy Vallee megaphone -style vocal.
The Last Spire was released on 29 April 2013 to significant praise for the band's return to their doomed roots ala Forest and evoking a dark epitaph for the band, devoid of anything resembling a happy ending.
[17] Leo Smee would also depart from the group and be replaced by Scott Carlson as the band's bassist. [2] Cathedral signed with Nuclear Blast in July 2003. It’s a kind of semi-relief. It’s over and that’s it. Towards the end for the pair of us we had been together since day one.
I don’t miss playing them to tell you the truth. The group first gained notoriety for its slow and heavy brand of doom metal as heard on Forest of Equilibrium, which is considered a classic of the genre. Cathedral was formed after Lee Dorrian and Mark Griffiths (a Carcass roadie) met and discussed their love for bands like Black Sabbath, Candlemass, Pentagram, Trouble, and Witchfinder General. Cathedral are a doom metal band from Coventry, England. Touring Europe again with the likes of Kataklysm, Brutal Truth and Deicide would lead up to the release of the band's third album The Carnival Bizarre, released on Earache on 29 September 1995 to positive acclaim. Cathedral's touring would slow in 2000 as the group focused their efforts on their next album. A standalone EP of Hopkins would see release the next year on 9 April 1996.
I’m not saying that every Cathedral record is brilliant because some of them are really good.
In a drastic departure from recent records the band returned to a grimy doom metal sound ala Forest of Equlibrium and even featured artwork by Stephen O'Malley (Sunn O)))) rather than mainstay Dave Patchett (Though he would contribute art to the Japanese edition of the album). The band toured heavily over the main years of their career alongside the likes of Orange Goblin, Carcass, Entombed and Black Sabbath though in the later years of their career they would slow down to just playing festivals and often sharing the stage with bands signed to Rise Above Records, the label owned by Dorrian. Lee’s moved on.
Despite listing a 1999 release, the album was released on 6 December 1998 to positive reviews and using a Japanese Bonus Track ("Black Sunday") as the music video for the album. [3] The band would start work on their eighth album while touring Europe in support of HIM on a tour of Europe in 2004. The group first gained notoriety for its slow and heavy brand of doom metal as heard on Forest of Equilibrium, which is considered a classic of the genre. I really don’t see us playing them again and us getting back together. You always try your best at the time. Cathedral was formed by Lee Dorrian after leaving Napalm Death because he was getting sick of the punk scene and didn't like the death metal direction Napalm Death was heading towards. This would build up to Cathedral's final show at the CMV Forum in London on 3 December 2011 alongside Gentlemans Pistols, Grand Magus and Comus. The band would record a four-song demo entitled In Memorium, released in October of 1990. By 1990 the lineup had changed to Dorrian, Jennings, Lehan, Griffiths and drummer Ben Mochrie. You see a lot of bands over the years keep putting out one record after another.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The discography of the English doom metal band Cathedral consists of ten studio albums, eight EPs, a number of singles, one live album and two collections. A cathedral is a church that contains the cathedra (Latin for 'seat') of a bishop, thus serving as the central church of a diocese, conference, or episcopate. [14] Details would later reveal this new release would actually be a 13-track double album.
A flexi for album outtake Vengeance of The Blind Dead was released in the February 2013 issue of Decibel. We’ve had lots of time to actually enjoy the end. A proposed tour with Candlemass and Grand Magus would be intended but ultimately called off. [1] Led by ex-Napalm Death vocalist Lee Dorrian, the band was signed to Earache Records in 1991.
On 28 October 2009, Cathedral would announce they were set to release their ninth studio album, working again with producer Warren Riker. In their tenure the group managed to release ten studio albums, a host of other releases and a constantly shifting sound in what was an often unpredictable music career spanning 23 years, with their final album The Last Spire coming a year after the band performed their final shows in 2011 and 2012. Not long after the band would sign to Nuclear Blast, ironically even hinting at it in a 2003 interview with Scott Crawford.
Cathedral's final album, The Last Spire was released through Dorrian's own label, Rise Above. 1 February 1993 would see the release of the band's second studio album The Ethereal Mirror via Colombia and Earache, selling over 22,000 copies in the USA alone.
In an interview with Metal Underground, along with discussing the demo and early touring days, Gaz also ruled out a Cathedral reunion: Once you lose the enthusiasm and you don’t have one hundred percent enthusiasm then it’s better to get out. Forest of Equilibrium was released via Earache on 9 December 1991 (Though in Europe it'd see release in 1992.)
