Way back in December 2010, the mighty Cathedral performed a 20th Anniversary concert in London, England with their legendary debut album Forest Of Equilibrium played in full, alongside a set of other favourites from the band's illustrious history.

That show can now enjoyed in the comfort of your own home via two double-vinyl collections set to be released on May 8 via Earache Records. Entitled Return To The Forest and Freak Winter, both of these are available to pre-order, each coming with exclusive artwork by long-time Cathedral collaborator and acclaimed artist, Dave Patchett.
