Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
They've had their share of jibes, but the days that saw Cradle Of Filth dismissed as a Black Metal novelty turn are long dead. Nymphetamine, you see, finds Dani Filth and his diabolic army on fine form: easing up on the grandiose but sometimes over-egged orchestral edge pioneered on 2003's major label effort Damnation And A Day, the likes of "Gilded Cunt" and "Coffin Fodder" find the Filth reaffirming their dark pledges to extremity, hammering out pitch-black sheets of dark metal as barbed and ornate as Samurai battle armour.
A new emphasis on melody will inevitably alienate some of the hardcore end of Cradle's fanbase, but it's hard to deny this shift is behind some of this record's most intriguing moments – see, for instance, "Nymphetamine Overdose", a duet with Live Kristine, formerly of Norwegian gothic metal veterans Theatre Of Tragedy. Indeed, Nymphetamine offers further proof that COF are not a band for the Black Metal snobs: they're the rare band who've succeeded in reconciling the musical extremity of their genre with the narrow tastes of the mainstream rock marketplace. Long may their devilish schemes bear rotten fruits. --Louis Pattison
CD Description
NYMPHETAMINE (according to the band, a term defined as a ravenous addiction to classically beautiful women) is Cradle of Filth's sixth full-length album, and third in a row on a new label (in this case, Roadrunner Records). It's also stripped of the grandeur provided by a full orchestra and choir on 2003's DAMNATION AND A DAY. Time spent on the road with 2003's Ozzfest left the band with a need to simplify the arrangements, in an effort to capture the ferocity of their legendary live shows. What's left is heavily thrash-influenced and teeming with fluid guitar lines rooted in the classic British metal of Iron Maiden and Judas Priest.
Relying less on synths, strings, and operatic background vocals, Cradle ofFilth turns up the guitars a notch and delivers wave after wave of brutal yet melodic riffs anchored in the band's early influences. Guitarists Paul Allender and James McIlroy twist lines into dark harmonies on "Nemesis" and "Coffin Fodder", while delicate piano intros add atmosphere to "English Fire" and "Absinthe with Faust". The title track features a duet with Liv Kristine (Theatre of Tragedy, Leaves Eyes) that epitomises the idea of beauty and the beast. NYMPHETAMINE proves that less can indeed mean more.
