Cathedral were a doom metal band from Coventry, England.[2] The group gained attention upon release of its debut album, Forest of Equilibrium (1991), which is considered a classic of the genre.[3] However, the band's sound evolved quickly and began to adopt characteristics of 1970s metal, hard rock and progressive rock. After releasing ten full-length albums and touring extensively for over two decades, Cathedral broke up after the release of The Last Spire in 2013.
