Cathedral seriously kicked ass with this 4 song 24 minute EP. Here was the real beginnings of Cathedral's transformation to the modern day Black Sabbath. 'Soul Sacrifice' is lifted from their first album and revved up (think more uptempo). A pounding track. There's great riffs all over the place as 'Autumn Twilight' is prime example of guitar barrage. 'Frozen Rapture' is the only clunker. Sort of a set back cause it's pace is way too slow. 'Golden Blood' rebounds and saves the show with it's massive Iommi riffage. A CD that still makes me go "Wow, man!!!"
