"Tortured Melancholic Doom at it's mournful best" reads the sticker on the front and who am I to argue! This limited expanded edition of Cathedral’s 1991 megalithic doom opus ‘Forest of Equilibrium’ also features a 40 minute brand new documentary ('Return to the Forest') with key early band members including long standing core duo Lee Dorrian and Garry Jennings, plus an interview with famed cover artist Dave Patchett.
Besides in depth discussion of the formation of the band and the recording of the classic debut album on the DVD the CD side contains 4 bonus songs from the long deleted ‘Soul Sacrifice’ EP. All this is packaged in a deluxe multi panel digi-pak with amazing artwork and a reversable poster.
