(August 2023) Episode 514 is CATHEDRAL, a heavy metal band from England who made their mark with a debut album (Forest of Equilibrium, 1991) of classic doom metal with low, slow plodding riffs amid dark themes. They modulated their style to more normal metal and prog metal, with a return to the delicious doom sound on their sixth album (Endtyme, 2001).
Favourite album: Endtyme
Favourite song: Melancholy Emperor

Recommendation: Try the 1st, 2nd or 6th albums for doomy goodness, but pass on the rest.
