These would be influences alongside Bathory , Cathedral , Black Sabbath , Electric Wizard and Venom . According to Stefan Glas from Rock Hard , the band plays on Our Cult Continues! classic Doom Metal, which is somewhat devalued by weird vocals. According to Peter Mildner from metal.de in his review of Our Cult Continues! Cardinals Folly is part of a number of young Finnish doom metal bands such as Lord Vicar , The Wandering Midget , Serpent Warning and Casket Open . On the album, the band play classic Doom Metal with the use of a fuzz box and clear baritone vocals. The band “orientates itself slightly towards the kaleidoscopic world of images of CATHEDRAL , but without touching on its rampant decadence, as well as, and this much more clearly, towards the weird whims of THE EQUINOX OV THE GODS ”. In addition, “expansive compositions and excess lengths” are almost completely dispensed with. However, Mildner also found that the songs were devalued by the singing.
