The Serpent's Gold is a compilation album by the band Cathedral, released in 2004 on Earache Records. It consists of 2 discs, The Serpent's Treasure (a "best of") and The Serpent's Chest (demos and rarities).
Cathedral — дум- и стоунер-метал-группа из Ковентри, Англия, основанная в 1989 году. Группа Cathedral, начав играть на рубеже 80-90-х гг. более медленный и тяжёлый дум-метал, является одной из основательниц стоунер-метала. Их дебютный альбом 1991 года Forest of Equilibrium считается классикой данного стиля. Однако впоследствии группа изменила свой стиль, исполняя более быстрый стоунер-метал. Группа была образована в 1989 году бывшим вокалистом группы Napalm Death Ли Доррианом, Марком «Гриффом» Гриффитсом (Mark 'Griff' Griffiths) и Гарри Газом Дженнингсом (Garry 'Gaz' Jennings) из трэш-метал-группы Acid Reign. В начале они играли очень тяжёлый и медленный дум-метал, записывая музыку на независимом лейбле Earache Records, принадлежащему Дорриану. Затем, когда Cathedral подписал контракт с Columbia Records в 1992 году, группа стала использовать в звучании элементы прогрессив-рока. Однако контракт с Columbia Records был расторгнут в 1994 году и группа продолжила записываться на Earache Records. В 1989 году Ли Дорриан покинул Napalm Death так как, по его словам, ему не нравилась музыка в стиле death metal, которую играла его бывшая группа. Группа Cathedral была образована после того, как Дорриан и Гриффитс, встретившись, выяснили, что им нравятся те же самые группы, типа Candlemass, Dream Death, Pentagram, Trouble и Witchfinder General. На стиль группы огромное влияние оказало творчество апологетов хэви-метала группы Black Sabbath, что особенно ярко проявляется в музыке Cathedral в середине 90-х гг. В тот период группу Cathedral можно охарактеризовать как «осовремененный Блэк Саббат». Позже они отошли от этого, смешивая в своей музыке разные современные стили хэви-метала. Из первоначальных участников группы в нынешнем составе есть только Lee Dorrian и гитарист Garry 'Gaz' Jennings, который однако на недолгое время покидал группу на раннем этапе её существования. Недавно фронтмен Cathedral Ли Дориан заявил, что 2012 год станет для группы последним, но обещал, что перед распадом они выпустят ещё один альбом, получивший название The Last Spire.
