Hints of their lumbering doom sound from Forest of Equilibrium characterize songs such as "Phantasmagoria, " but for the most part Cathedral picks up the pace and instills a welcome sense of groove into their monolithic guitar riffs. Two songs from the album in particular stand out due to their up-beat tempos: the anthemic opener, "Ride, " and the metal-disco of "Midnight Mountain." These two songs aren't up-tempo in the sense of death metal

Taking hardcore to the extreme, metalcore thrives on a harsh, punishing, highly ferocious density -- the sort of density one encounters on Twelve Tribes' second album, The Rebirth of Tragedy. There are some hints of screamo on this CD; at times, Twelve Tribes throws in some clean, conventional singing to balance lead vocalist Adam Jackson's tortured screaming. But when all is said and done, The Rebirth of Tragedy is much more metalcore than screamo, and Twelve Tribes does all the things that metalcore bands are known for doing. They kick, punch, batter, pummel, bruise, and beat the listener into submission; they see to that this 2004 release has a claustrophobic, suffocating quality. And because Twelve Tribes go for maximum density so much of the time, The Rebirth of Tragedy is a very exhausting album -- not exhausting in a negat
