Earache have announced details regarding the reissue of CATHEDRAL's 1993 breakthrough album, The Ethereal Mirror. A press release reads as follows:

Ethereal Mirror was almost as drastic a departure from Cathedrals slow and meloncholic doom drenched debut, Forest Of Equilibrium, as was Lee Dorrain fronting Cathedral after playing in NAPALM DEATH!

Featuring fan favorites and MTV video hits 'Midnight Mountain' and 'Ride' this album ushered in the Cathedral we know and recognize today with their doomy SABBATHesque riffs mixed with more groove laden rock!

With a Bonus disc capturing the end of Cathedral's proper doom period otherwise known as the Statik Majik EP which despite only being 3 tracks long has a total running time of 35 mins! And a 40 minute DVD documentary that chronicals the development of the band and the subsequent success of ‘The Ethereal Mirror’ which led to a major label deal with Columbia Records as well as an interview with long time artwork collaborator Dave Patchett we are proud to deliver yet another great value package.
