Listen to samples and Purchase this CD online

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.

Fan Speak:

Posted by The Metal Man:
Cradle of Filth did a realy nice job on this album. If you are in to Goth Metal then this is a good record to listen to. Its about time that some bands with actual guitar talent start getting some recognition. I'm sick of the New Metal wave in America. Bands like Linkin Park, and Papa Roach, and all other Mtv metal bands have no musical talant. You know why all of the mainstream artists have no talent? Two words: Kurt Colbain. Ever since the grunge wave a bunch of mamas boys with guitars decided they god play simple songs and make money. What ever happend to going to see Panthera, Megadeth, or Iron Maiden. It just makes me sick. As an expert guitar player and die hard metal fan i recommend looking to our European friends. Over there they listen to Cradle of Filth, Iced Earth, Iron Maiden, Children of Bodom, and all sorts of great bands. Euro Metal Is the Next wave. American New Metal is repetative and boring. By the way i Love the Iron Maiden Cover Hallowed Be thy name. I think everyone else does too.

Cradle of Filth are sell-outs, and Danis a money hungry ass*ole, it's funny how since they shat on Black Metal alot of Slipknot fans and Marilyn Manson fans ran into store to buy it, so they could go around telling people how hard they are because they own a "Black metal" CD.

+A for creation +A for poetry +A for fukktheworld +A for dark vision +A for untimeliness "impecable sur toute la ligne" I rate this album high, as for you, meditate on these: "...And if it offends you, just...don't...listen to it"-Disclaimer, The Offspring-Smash album.
