Not to rag on the prog rock group, but I've always been a huge fan of the metal band Cathedral. For those not familiar with them, they started out doing funeral doom, and then moved onto doing a combination of prog metal, stoner metal, and a bunch of other styles. Any other fans of them on here?

I loved their early stuff. It's very difficult to be really slow and not be boring, yet they pulled it off. ------------- "Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard." -- H.L. Mencken |

yes, "Geo", I know Portal. 'Outre' has a very oppressing atmosphere, it's a very strange album. ------------- "Magma was the very first gothic rock band" (Didier Lockwood) |

Great band - one of the best - Endtyme is a superb slab of psychedelic laden doom. ------------- What? |

Disembowelment is not a love song then? I actually quite liked this, especially the drummer who creates space rather than just fills it. -------------

 You meant this ?
French have very fine cheese, among which the one with mildew, called Roquefort :

Yes that is the one... ..actually I don't really like it that much. Not enough flavour for me. I love blue cheeses though especially Stilton

Atheist is another great classic prog-metal act, especially their 1993 epic "ELEMENTS": |

Are you implying that Cathedral are prog metal ?
I don't really see the connection between Atheist (jazzy death metal) and Cathedral (doom metal). ------------- "Magma was the very first gothic rock band" (Didier Lockwood) |

| Indeed,I was wondering the same thing.Ok,we know that Lee Dorrian is a prog fan and Cathedral have some prog elements.But there is no connection between the two bands. |

Lee Dorrian is in the PA, all be it as a guest vocalist on Catherdral's bassist Leo Smee's side project Chrome Hoof.

Marianne Segal (Jade) released an album with prog-folk band Circulus, 'The Gathering', and you will never guess who plays the guitar...Bill Steer ! ------------- "Magma was the very first gothic rock band" (Didier Lockwood) |

The kind of information that makes me wonder about a "what if" scenario: what if the 1987-88 Napalm Death line-up stood together? Playing prog-folk-doom-metal??? |

| pretty good band, I rarely listen to them these days though. If I want some doom, I go with Solitude Aeturnus or Candlemass. |
