Lee Dorrian unveils a revitalized sonic journey through Cathedral's overlooked masterpiece, set for release in 2026.

In a thunderous announcement that echoes through the metal underground, Cathedral's frontman Lee Dorrian has revealed a freshly remixed version of their 2010 opus, The Guessing Game. This isn't just a remaster; it's a resurrection. Scheduled for release on October 30, 2026, via Rise Above Records, the album has been reimagined by the skilled hands of Jaime Gomez Arellano, promising a sound that is rawer, heavier, and more visceral than ever before.

Originally unleashed as a double album by Nuclear Blast, The Guessing Game was Cathedral's ninth studio effort and their most ambitious venture to date. Produced by Grammy-winning maestro Warren Riker, it traversed a vast landscape of sound that showcased the band’s eclectic roots. However, despite the ambition, the original mix left something to be desired—an oversight that left the band yearning for the power they initially envisioned.

With the rights back in their hands, Cathedral took this opportunity to strip down the layers and get back to the essence of their sound. This new remix transforms the album into a cohesive beast, offering alternate takes and extended versions, now spread across five sides of vinyl. Each track breathes with newfound energy, almost breathing life into what feels like a brand new record.

The reworked tracklist is a testament to Cathedral's creative prowess, featuring tracks such as “Immaculate Misconception,” “Death Of An Anarchist,” and “Journey Into Jade.” With this revamped edition, the band aims to not only reclaim their legacy but to also captivate both longtime fans and new listeners alike with the raw power and intensity they always intended.
