Psychedelic UK-based doom metal legends CATHEDRAL have posted a video trailer offering audio samples from their upcoming record The Guessing Game. Check it out below.

The Guessing Game will be released on March 26th in Europe and on the unofficial stoner friendly holiday of April 20th in North America.

Produced once again by Warren Riker (DOWN, CROWBAR), who also took care of the band's last effort, The Garden Of Unearthly Delights, in 2005, The Guessing Game is one wild and unpredictable ride with one of the most unique and exciting acts the metal genre has got to offer.

For the first time in the band's history, they have recorded a double album that boasts thirteen tracks offering a colourful variety of musical styles and lyrical themes: 'Requiem For The Voiceless', for example, is pure, down 'n' out crawling doom — and the first animal-rights song in doom metal history. Then you'll get classic stomping and grooving Cathedral material with the catchy 'Painting In The Dark', plus many songs wading through psychedelic and proggy waters — especially 'Funeral Of Dreams', featuring none other than Alison O' Donnell of MELLOW CANDLE ('70s Irish folk rock band) fame doing guest vocals.

It comes as no surprise that this time around Cathedral went as far as to include exotic instrumentation such as Mellotron and Sitar. And pay special attention to the lyrics of 'Journeys Into Jade': Lee Dorrian and Co. are celebrating 20 years of Cathedral with this one!

And what a way to celebrate this anniversary: traditional Cathedral cover artist Dave Patchett came up with one of his finest artworks in the band's history, mirroring the themes and musical quirkiness of the album itself.
