CARDINAL’S FOLLY “Orthodox Faces” Review

CARDINAL’S FOLLY
“Orthodox Faces”
EP 2009 (private)

Cardinal’s Folly, hailing from Finland is
a quite new band, existing though from
2004 under a different moniker (The
Coven), which was latterly changed in
2007 in the one that we know. Their EP
called “Orthodox Faces” was the one that made them one of the most worth checking bands in doom metal. However,with slogan like N.W.O.F.D.M. nothing more but true traditional doom metal isexpected. We all know that Finland is a goldmine for every doom metal fan as it has produced sincere bands like Minotauri, Spiritus Mortis, Fall of the Idols, Reverend Bizarre and many more which have raised doom metal to another class. Cardinal’s Folly is one of them and the signs are clear; they have entered strongly the doom metal scene as they play pure heavy doom metal, a music style that Finnish people know at its best. The production of the album is the one that I prefer in a doom metal band and the vocals are also classical for a Finnish doom band. What I like most in this group, is that they have a unique style. Their arrangements are classic and in general I don’t have to add something more. All I have to say is: fans of Reverend Bizarre and Minotauri don’t waste more time and go check this band like I do.
