Sephiroth – Cathedron

Issue 03 [Page 06]

I have decided that anyone who claims to be a Cold
Meat Industry fan is in fact not such if Sephiroth’s
Cathedron is not already floating around in their CD
collection. This is a beautiful example of dark ambient at
its finest and should not be overlooked. This full-length
album gives us dark ominous drones, tempos that can
change direction as easily as the wind, powerful tribal
drum arrangements, and gently threatening sounds that
make up the melodies and fill in the body of each track.
Sephiroth brings forward compositions that sound real
and impose a cold, comfortable atmosphere. So far this
is the only release from Sephiroth, but if you’re lucky,
you can also find some of his early recordings under ‘Ulf
Soderberg’ – worth looking into if Sephiroth has turned
your head. All in all, it only took one spin of this disc
before I was officially addicted – highly recommended.
