| I had been dimly aware of Cathedral since the days of "Ride" and "Midnight Mountain," but this was the first album I actually owned from them. I got it as a promo when I was in college, doing a metal show on the campus station and writing reviews for some website. The VIIth Coming always seems to fall in the middle or lower part of most people's rankings of the Cathedral discography, but I think it's terrific. Very much in the vein of The Carnival Bizarre again, after the inconsistent Caravan and the return-to-doom-form of Endtyme. Again, we start off with several upbeat stoner-metal jams before we get a pair of doom epics in "Aphrodite Winter" and especially "The Empty Mirror." The pattern repeats itself to a degree on what would be Side Two, with "Nocturnal Fist" being one of the band's most aggressive tracks, followed later by the majestic "Congregation of Sorcerers" before ending with the glorious "Halo Of Fire." The Cathedral atmosphere is firmly in place, with Lee Dorrian's grave

| ... gravelly vocls and the grinding guitars of Garry Jennings leading the way, propelled by the rock-solid rhythm section. Grooves of various speeds abound, and riffs for days. Maybe because it came out on Spitfire, but I just think this is a sorely overlooked record. Favorite tracks are "Skullflower," "The Empty Mirror," "Nocturnal Fist," "Congregation Of Sorcerers" and "Halo Of Fire."
