Released in 1996, the related Hopkins (The Witchfinder General) EP features that titular track along with four additional songs.
Critical reception
Jem Aswald, in Trouser Press, wrote: "Pagan idolatry aside, Carnival Bizarre is Cathedral’s best and tightest album yet, rectifying many of the indulgences of the past and concentrating on throbbing grooves and viscous riffage – and a shout-out to Huggy Bear."[2]
