"Flowerdust" is a very classic gothic rock album with all its gothic rock attributes, yet with a very dynamic sound. Catherines Cathedral managed to combine very aggressive rock (hardcore punk almost) hand in hand with piano and acoustic guitar ballads.

BIO: Catherines Cathedral was formed by M. Valley, S. Morgana and D. Hansevi in 1992 with the plan to play gothic rock. They almost immediately recorded what would later become "Flowerdust", the album that Preachers Cath Records would release in -93 and then again digitally in 2015. The album impressed many others and they moved to House Of Kicks Records and Noxious Records, which released "Intoxication" in -94. In 1995 they released their last album, "Equilibrium", which was also their biggest: They had evolved musically to such an extent that performing live on small concert halls where impossible. They now had a large sound and had to meet the crowd accordingly. Catherines Cathedral held the Swedish banner of gothic rock high with all their classic gothic rock attributes: hats, ponchos, name given drum machine, 12-string electric guitars, and so on.

Musically they were also influenced by other artists than just other goth bands, like Fields of the Nephilim och The Sisters of Mercy: they leaned towards David Bowie and Leonard Cohen, Jethro Tull and The Beatles.
