Format:Audio CD
In a good year for Symphonic Black/Death Metal, with excellent releases from the likes of Haggard, Hollenthon, Therion and even a touch of the strings on Judas Priest's Nostradamus, this is another fine addition!
Far less gimmicky and WAY more intense, than the underwhelming Thornography, this is a return to the cinematic scope of 2003's Damnation And A Day. There is much in terms of bombastic orchestration to be enjoyed - provided by keyboard/synth but none the less impressive for this. In fact, it's rivalled only by the sterling keyboard work on Epica's Divine Conspiracy in it's recreation of a real orchestral style sound. Haunting choral work is also present to chill and unease.
The production is lavish, yet never loses sight that this IS Metal. Furious bass drums, harsh riffs and the demonic wails of Dani Filth liken comparison to Dimmu Borgir. The lyrics are dark and eloquently written, depicting the lifestory of a middle ages serial killer. Final exquisite touches are supplied by the superb vocal textures of Doug (Pinhead) Bradley on the narrative interludes. Class!
Special mention for the superb artwork!
This is so much better than the last album in every single department...

Cradles new album is one of their best yet! much harder with some fantastic lyrics!
Thornography was great to listen to the first time but i found myself listening to their previous work rather than thornography. I feared they would release an album very similar to thornography but i was proved wrong!
This album takes you back to the spirit of their midian era and provides great listening to any cradle fan 100% recommended!

Here we go back to the sound of old, but not too old! The feel of the album reminds me of Damnation and a Day, not back to Midian etc as some people have said. I enjoyed Thornography, as most people didnt. I thought it was fresh and very catchy, but unlike Cradle. It will take some getting use to as all good music does. I wish they would keep the talky bits down a bit. I do realise this is a concept album, but it gets a bit much. Other than that, a top class record!

Genius!
This double album is one the albums I listen to all the time. While I can find perhaps two tracks on Nymphetamine I might skip, I always listen to this right through. Read more

creating a spiral of darkness
Cradle Of Filth are not a Black Metal Band nor are they a Death Metal band. They are Extreme Metal yes but they are there own genre of what they call Vampyric Metal. Read more
