With their fifth album Poison out now via Howlin’ Banana Records and Regarts, French outfit Cathedrale pushes their sonic identity into a darker, more atmospheric territory.
Recorded and mixed at Chez Studio Nini (Brussels) with producer Mathieu Versini, Poison represents the apex of Cathedrale’s evolution — a collection of thirteen tension-filled tracks where sharp, omnipresent guitars intertwine with synths, a feature first introduced on their previous album, Words / Silence (2023), which now takes center stage, injecting a newfound darkness into the band’s compositions. The quartet offers a powerfully introspective exploration, making Poison their most intimate, darkest, and richest record yet, where shadow and light coexist.
