As ep's go...this is pretty good. Now with an ep, the band can either add more on to what they do on albums, do something a bit different, experiment...or basically try and reach to different markets. And this ticks all these boxes, oddly enough.

After their debut, this ep showed what Cathedral had planned for us all. And it comes off well, and fans of the first album may wonder where all the slow doom songs went...well their still here, just not as much as their favoured disco prog punk style.

Their is some underlooked Cathedral could have been classics here and it does enteratin you enough for half an hour, so it bodes well as an ep.

1. Soul Sacrifice - I like how the vocals are presented, but I prefer the album version...mainly because its shorter and more precise. 9/10

2. Autumn Twilight - Great intro. Kind of like a dark Iron Maiden. Shows progression into the coming 2nd album. This song is very underlooked in my opinion, and it kicks some serious arse. 10/10

3. Frozen Rapture - A bit too slow with a lack of atmosphere. Not too bad though. 7/10

4. Golden Blood (Flooding) - I love how weird the chorus' are. Great arrangement with some pretty killer riffs. Odd but interesting nontheless. 9/10

CONCLUSION: No ep is a must have, but for an ep, this is pretty damn good.
