The last time we got a Cradle of Filth CD in to review I passed it off to ScottVile like a coward. This time around I thought I'd give it a go myself. While this band has a bit too much "Goth" for my regular taste, reading the track listings it appeared to be a concept album, something I'm always interested in. So I sat back opened a cold one and popped this puppy in the CD player, I wasn't prepared for what I got. The overall impression I came away with is this is a Horror Show set to music. The vocals come off like King Diamond meet Overkill and I can't fault the musicianship. The rhythm section does a great job and the album is filled with great metal guitar work.
Despite the fact that this really isn't
"my bag", it was a compelling listen and I'm sure fans of this band and
genre of music will walk away satisfied with this album which I believe
is a reissue for them with the addition of the bonus disc.
