Cathedral is usually mentioned with other 70s American prog bands like Yezda Urfa and Mirthrandir. Those three bands played symphonic-prog influenced mostly by Yes and early Genesis (although Yezda Urfa showed a strong Gentle Giant influence). And it had a profound influence on Cathedral. The listener will instantly notice that Cathedral were quite aggressive for a mid-seventies prog band, and the band wastes little time exploring action-packed sections in each track. The bass/drum interplay was one of the first things to catch my attention. Not only does the bassist and drummer lock into complex and aggressive grooves, but the drummer was also allowed to fill most of the tracks with additional percussive instruments…

Earlier this year, Mattias Olsson released a beautifully emotional and deeply personal album called Tom & Tiger, inspired in large part by the passing of his friend Tom Doncourt.
Keyboardist Doncourt will be known to many as an integral part of American band Cathedral, and the marvellous 1978 album Stained Glass Stories, a widely praised work which they were unable to follow up until the release of The Bridge in 2007 after a near 30 year hiatus. Certainly a band that did not receive the wider acclaim that it deserved.
After Cathedral, Doncourt released a series of solo albums in his final years, Mattias contributing as the two became close friends. The last of these releases, The Lantern, appeared posthumously, after Doncourt’s death from lung disease in March 2019…

Hopkins (The Witchfinder General) was released by Lee Dorrian’s doom metal band Cathedral in 1996 on a 5-track E.P. Formed in Coventry, England in 1989 from ex-members of Napalm Death (Dorrian) and Acid Reign (guitarist, Gaz Jennings), the band sought to ditch the punk and death metal directions their previous bands were heading in and explore slower, ‘doomier’ sounds, being influenced by the likes of Black Sabbath and Pentagram.
