Cathedral - UK/Ireland tour
Data dodania 2010-03-01Dodał WouterŹródło blabbermouth.netTo celebrate the release of their latest album, "The Guessing Game", veteran British doom/stoner band CATHEDRAL has announced six live shows in late April/early May 2010. Taking in England, Scotland and both Southern and Northern Ireland, these dates will represent the group's first headlining gigs since the "Doomed Trinity" package of 2006.
Keeping in the CATHEDRAL tradition of delivering the best possible touring package it can, the band has announced the addition of Tokyo's heaviest sons of SABBATH, CHURCH OF MISERY, and the Orthodox-doom-meets-true-metal powerhouse that is Indianapolis's THE GATES OF SLUMBER.
CATHEDRAL tour dates:
Apr. 26 - Manchester, UK - Academy 3
Apr. 27 - Dublin, IRE - The Village
Apr. 28 - Belfast, IRE - Limelight
Apr. 29 - London, UK - ULU
Apr. 30 - Glasgow, UK - King Tut's
May 01 - Birmingham, UK - Academy 2
CATHEDRAL will release its ninth full-length album and second for the Nuclear Blast label, "The Guessing Game", on March 26 in Europe and on April 20 in North America.
Produced once again by Warren Riker (DOWN, CROWBAR), who also took care of the band's last effort, "The Garden Of Unearthly Delights", in 2005, "The Guessing Game" is one wild and unpredictable ride with one of the most unique and exciting acts the metal genre has got to offer! For the first time in the band's history, they have recorded a double album that boasts thirteen tracks offering a colourful variety of musical styles and lyrical themes: "Requiem For The Voiceless", for example, is pure, down 'n' out crawling doom — and the first animal-rights song in doom metal history! Then you'll get classic stomping and grooving CATHEDRAL material with the catchy "Painting In The Dark", plus many songs wading through psychedelic and proggy waters — especially "Funeral Of Dreams", featuring none other than Alison O' Donnell of MELLOW CANDLE ('70s Irish folk rock band) fame doing guest vocals.
