3	Cathedral is a DoomMetal band from Coventry, England formed in 1989, and disbanded in 2013. They are credited with blending doom metal with the darker aesthetics of extreme metal, culminating in a very slow, very heavy sound. In the mid-90s, they soon lightened up into a more groove-oriented, stoner rock sound. Frontman Lee Dorrian (Formerly of Music/NapalmDeath) has since gone on to form With the Dead with Tim Bagshaw and Mark Greening (both ex-Music/ElectricWizard), which is roughly the spiritual successor.

18	!!Cathedral provides the following trope examples:
19	* DoomMetal: One of the more influential and popular bands of the genre.
20	* EpicRocking: Being a doom metal band, this is a given.
21	* GenreShift: Gradually shifted from very heavy DoomMetal with harsh vocals to a somewhat more upbeat, PsychedelicRock-influenced Stoner Metal style. Their later material moved back towards their earlier sound with some ProgressiveRock elements added in.
22	* HarshVocals: In their earliest work only.
23	* NewSoundAlbum: ''The Ethereal Mirror'' is the first sign of more Stoner-influenced sound, with slightly faster tempos and cleaner vocals. ''Endtyme'' returned them to more straightforward DoomMetal territory, albeit with cleaner vocals. Later albums fall somewhere between the two extremes.
24	* WordSaladLyrics: Have fun figuring out just what the ''fuck'' Lee Dorrian is singing about half the time, especially on their earlier material.
25	* WordSaladTitle:
26	** Many of their songs, such as "Kaleidoscope Of Desire", "Melancholy Emperor", "Cyclops Revolution" and "Utopian Blaster".
27	** The album titles ''Supernatural Birth Machine'' & ''Caravan Beyond Redemption''
