Kapela sa chce rozlúčiť vo veľkom štýle. Posledné štúdiové zbohom bude tvrdšie a doomovejšie ako predošlé radovky. "The Last Spire" vyjde v septembri alebo v októbri.
Dorrian: "We"re planning to begin recording in April. We want it out next year, because as of next year the band will be no more. We"re working on material at the moment. When we get back from Australia, we"ll have a good, solid month to fine-tune the songs. We"ll hopefully have it released in September/October of 2012. I"m going to see our artist Dave Patchett this weekend — he does all our album covers — and just sit with him and go through all of the concepts for the album cover."
On what the next CD will sound like:
Dorrian: "Musically, I would say "The Guessing Game" was more of a summarisation of everything we had done. "The Last Spire" is more like our final stamp, really. I think it"ll be a lot heavier and more doom-influenced than anything else we"ve done in recent years. But there will also be keyboards, and hopefully it"ll be a really progressive doom record. I don"t want to give away too much, but it"ll probably be a little heavier. We"ll be much more hands-on with the production. This is our last one, so we want to go out with a bang and pretty much do it ourselves because we can. The last two albums (with producer Warren Riker) turned out great. We"ve had producers in the past, (where) we would have some out there ideas, and some producers would just shrug their shoulders or laugh. Warren was great, (but) we want to make the last statement ourselves, like we did with the first album. A lot of people thought we were crazy to make an album like (1991"s) "Forest Of Equilibrium". People asked us what we were doing. It was going against the grain of what was going on at the time. So we"ll finish the way we started."
On his post-CATHEDRAL plans, which include overseeing his long-running record label Rise Above Records:
Dorrian: "I"ve done that for more than 20 years now. It"s a full-time job really. I will be able to dedicate a lot more time to that, which I want to do . . We go from strength to strength; we don"t sell millions of records, but we"re still here. It"s a testament to all the vultures and vampires in the industry that have killed it. People have been short-sold, I think… I think people see in Rise Above that you can discover things yourself, without just being told about it by the hype of the (mainstream) media. We do this out of love for the music and I think people are slowly coming around to that. We try to make our releases, things like our vinyl releases special. I"ve been collecting records since I was eight or nine and I always like to put myself on the other side of the fence. I think about how as a fan myself, how I would like it to be presented. I spend a lot of time thinking about that. If Rise Above wasn"t the label I started, I would be a fan of it myself."

DJEVEL - Natt Til Ende
Faust a spol. tentokrát více přitlačili na pilu a natočili o poznání méně přátelskou desku. Více black metalu a méně zjemňujících prvků. I tak je materiál pěkně diversifikovaný, jen je méně přístupný a chybí mu ona zpěvnost, vzletnost a naléhavost.

NEKUS - Death Apophenia
Čistý death/doom. Špinavý, jeskynním marastem až po krk nasáklý. Ale také spíše jednoduchý, držící se jako klíště žánrových standardů bez nejmenší ochoty alespoň základně experimentovat. Co mu však nechybí, je tolik potřebná neotesanost a hrubozrnnost.

GAEREA - Coma
Nejvíce přístupná deska GAEREA. Portugalci sice stále preferují rychlá tempa, ale materiál zároveň různě zahlazují, kudrnatí a zjemňují. A vesele do něj integrují jeden post-metalový prvek za druhým. Black metal pro masy, nicméně velmi pěkně složený.

VAMPIRSKA - A Liminal Heart Paints The Deepest Shade Of Serenity
(Raw) blackmetalový projekt z pokojíčku se vším všudy. Tentokrát za materiálem stojí osoba pohlaví něžného. Slyším za tím trochu SATANIC WARMASTER, SARGEIST, ORDER OF NOSFERAT a nebo také WINTER LANTERN. Jednoduchá, leč dobře poslouchatelná deska.

ALARM! - Alarm!
Debutové album hardcore kapely, která je složena ze členů ve svém žánru vyhlášených švédských skupin OUTLAST a VICTIMS. Dvacet minut nekompromisního nátěru brousícího až do oblasti crustu.

OPETH - The Last Will And Testament
Koncepčný album, zaujímaví hostia (Ian Anderson z JETHRO TULL, Joey Tempest z... EUROPE?!), návrat growlingu(!), orchester, hammondy, moogy a mellotron, obal od Travisa Smitha a veľa paragrafov. Čo sa môže pokaziť? Podľa prvých posluchov sa zdá, že nič!

LINKIN PARK - From Zero
Veľmi zmysluplný a silný návrat. Umné nadviazanie na to najlepšie z ich tvorby (prvé tri albumy) a skvelý výber speváčky. Zaslúžený obrovský úspech.
