Cathedral In Flames release 3rd gothic rock album, ‘Count to Nine’ – Out now

Cathedral In Flames
The Prague-based gothic rock band Cathedral In Flames has released their third album “Count to Nine”, offering a blend of dark and gothic influences. Known for their fusion of traditional gothic rock with a “cowboy” flair, the band delves into contemporary psychological issues, Lovecraftian mysticism, addictions, and magical sexual practices.
The title itself is symbolic, referring to the mystical number 9, representing fulfillment, closure, and the connection between different dimensions and stages of life.
The material was mixed by producer John Fryer, who has worked with influential bands like Nine Inch Nails and Depeche Mode.
Lead vocalist Phil Lee Fall says that the album represents their deepest creative journey yet, taking nearly three years to complete. His bandmate Gatsby emphasized that each track reflects the mood in which it was written, a catharsis for the emotions stirred by modern life’s confusion and darkness.
Count to Nine is available on all major streaming platforms, including Spotify and Bandcamp, and includes the standout single “Dreaming in the Witch House”, for which they’ve also released a music video.
You can download the album below on Bandcamp or order it on CD.
