Cathedral Post Horrific Video for “Tower of Silence” from The Last Spire
Lee Dorrian ain’t no dummy. He knows what time it is. And if their new video for the track “Tower of Silence” from their forthcoming final album, The Last Spire, is anything to go by, it’s about doom o’clock. The UK legends seem to be enjoying their farewell, and why not? Dorrian, guitarist Garry “Gaz” Jennings and bassist Scott Carlson already have a new project in the works called Septic Tank, and they’ll make their live debut in May, so what the hell? Live it up a little in the meantime. Certainly a victory lap well earned over the last 24 years.
Assuming the tracklisting stays as it was in the release announcement late last year, “Tower of Silence” is the centerpiece of The Last Spire, surrounded by three tracks on either side. I don’t want to make predictions about the rest of the record having only heard this one track, but at very least it bodes well.
Enjoy:

Awesome band, awesome song, awesome video… Cathedral dooms on!
the whole album is out there. it’s really good.
Can’t wait for their “Swan Song” bring on the doom & gloom, great stuff
The question must be asked………..why the fuck has it taken them so long to get back to this? Why even branch off into so many different directions when this is obviously what they do best???
