The Garden of Unearthly Delights is the eighth full-length album by the British doom metal band Cathedral. It was released on January 26, 2006. The album title is inspired by the Hieronymous Bosch painting The Garden of Earthly Delights[1]. The album was recorded at New Rising Studios and produced by Warren Ryker.

The album is a scratch and sniff CD - rubbing the CD itself (printed with an apple) will produce the smell of apples. The CD getting warm in certain CD players will also produce this effect. However, the smell does wear off after a while and starts to emit an odour more like celery than apples - whether this is intentional or not is unknown.
