After being the vocalist for the first two Napalm Death albums, cornerstones of grindcore, Lee Dorrian went in the opposite direction in terms of speed and mood. Cathedral are one of the most important bands in the development of doom-metal. While they would soon begin incorporating more of a stoner-rock feel, this debut is profoundly morose. The production is like rough granite compared to the polished marble of someone like Candlemass, and Dorrian's vocals, while not too far from death-metal territory, are more like protracted groans of misery, barely rising above the craggy riffs. All this makes Forest Of Equilibrium a stone-cold doom classic, but those into the more swingin' sounds of songs like "Ride" and "Hopkins (The Witchfinder General)" are advised to proceed with extreme caution. Highlights include "Ebony Tears," "Serpent Eve," the icy keyboards complimenting the title track, and the equally chilling flute that opens "Reaching Happiness, Touching Pain."

Next to those towering slabs of doom, the comparatively brisk and brief "Soul Sacrifice" comes off as frantic and desperate. Cathedral would return to this style a couple times over the next twenty-plus years, but Forest Of Equilibrium is as pure a distillation of doom as you will ever find.
