“Finally, there is a new version of an older album from my old band Cathedral,” begins vocalist Lee Dorrian. “Yes, The Guessing Game, which was originally released as a double album back in 2010, has been completely remixed by Jaime Gomez Arellano. It is now a lot more stripped down, raw and heavier than before, which is exactly how the band originally wanted it to sound.”
On October 30, 2026, Rise Above Records will release Cathedral – The Guessing Game (Rethink).
Cathedral’s ninth studio album was originally released by Nuclear Blast in 2010 as a double disc set and produced by three-time Grammy Award winner Warren Riker (Fugees, Down, M People, Destiny’s Child, COC). It was perhaps their most ambitious effort to date. It covers a lot of musical territories that the band were known for, with each song having a somewhat different to vibe to the next.
The Guessing Game has been a somewhat overlooked album in the Cathedral repertoire and, whilst the band were happy with the production, they always considered the original mix to be a bit lack-lustre. So now, with the recording rights reverting to the band, they thought it a good time to revisit the masters and get the album sounding more in keeping with how they would have liked it to sound at the time.
With that in mind, the album has been completely remixed from the original masters by long time collaborator Jaime Gomez Arellano. Now with a more cohesive, stripped down, raw and powerful sound. It includes alternate takes and extended versions of songs, now stretching over five sides of vinyl, enabling the tracks to breathe like never before. This new mix gives The Guessing Game a revitalized energy, which almost makes it sound like a new album.
