By <I>Caravan Beyond Redemption</I> (1998), they'd moved in a more clearly melodic direction, and while Dorrian still growls out his vocals, his humorously self-aware asides are easier to spot. At this stage, the Doom Metal tag is no longer really fitting -- they continue to crank out evil riffs, but you can tell they're having fun doing it. - Will YorkDoom Metalen720Fri, 1 Jan 2010 18:46:06 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3531&rws=%2Fcathedral%2Fdiscography.rss Doom Metal with a sense of humor -- albeit a dark one -- may best describe Cathedral, one of the many bands spun off from Grindcore leaders Napalm Death.
