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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Malignant Hybrid Theories, 2 Jan 2005
By Mr. A. Anson "Lexifer Crowley" (Bristol, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Now, if we are to look up the noun "Hybrid" in the dictionary, we would probably find "...of mixed origins or composition," or something similar. Now, this album is definitely deserving of the classification "Hybrid". Rather than pursuing the Black Metal ideals of Darkthrone, Cradle seem to have veered more in the direction of the more progressive Black Metal bands, such as Emperor and Sigh, and become less Black Metal and more accessible to the none-Black Metal hardcore fan. This album has some beautiful piano melodies (English Fire, Absinthe With Faust) some orchestral instrumentals far more interesting than, for instance, Sin Deep My Wicked Angel, (Satyriasis, Painting Flowers White Never Suited My Palette) and some tracks that are simply EPIC (Nymphetamine, Gabrielle, Swansong For A Raven, Mother Of Abominations).

Make no mistake, this album is NOT black metal. Indeed, it has more in common with the symphonic metal of Therion, and sometimes it even veers into Iron Maiden-esque heavy metal territory. This album, is, indeed, a hybrid of genres, and Black Metal simply happens to be one of the most prevailing of those genres.

Don't be expecting the poor production of true Black Metal, either; the vocals are crystal clear, as is everything else. While this music is dark and undoubtedly a little vicious, it doesn't sound as evil as such classic albums as A Blaze In The Northern Sky, but it makes up for this lack of frostiness, with its grandiose, sweeping gothic melodies.

The beautiful, epic storytelling of Her Ghost In The Fog and Beneath The Howling Stars is nowhere to be found on this album, which is definitely a shame, but such gripes are soon forgotten when hit by tracks like Nymphetamine. The first time I heard Gilded C*nt I was blown away, and was upset when it ended, and the rest of the album is definitely NOT a let down.

Overall, an excellent METAL album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brutal but beautiful, 28 Nov 2005
By C. Hardy (England) - See all my reviews
I recieved 'Nymphetamine' in the post this morning, and I'm now listening to it for the third time... I'm no longer sure if that rhythmic beating is Adrian's blistering drumming or the neighbours pounding on the walls! :P

If your interest in COF has waned of late, I'd advise you to get hold of this album and give it a listen - you might be surprised by how great they now sound! Conversely, if you've been lured in by the dark gem of a title track, be warned that the rest of the album probably isn't as easy on the ear to newcomers to extreme metal. Don't let that put you off though - when I first heard COF five years ago I was instantly hooked, despite never having heard any music heavier than Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins etc; you may find yourself captivated too!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantasic album from start to finish., 3 Mar 2005
By C. W. Watson "alpha1783" (U.K.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Anthrax's Rob Caggiano has done brilliant job as producer. So too
has Colin Richardson on the mixing desk. I don't know how you
categorise CoF, maybe Black-Lite would be fitting. However
you define it, this album is a magnificent seventy-five minutes
of total Metal insanity. There are no weak tracks. When one
awesome track signs off, the next instantly takes up the gauntlet.
It is a stunning masterpiece and absolutely addictive, too.

A Metal Classic.
