Thorography, an experimental album
Review of Thornography [PA] - Cradle Of Filth by
midian321
Advantages: Something new and different. Harder and more openly brutal sound
Disadvantages: Somewhat crude and unrefined
...they will not be disappointed. Thornography has a tendency to sound less refined as their previous albums, it lacks finesse. However tracks such as "Rise Of The Pentagram" show what this album is truly about, hard hitting and frontal attacks with the beautiful and tender sounds of traditional classical instruments, although this track has a minimal amount of lyrics it still proves the bands brilliance. To conclude I enjoyed this album but not as ...

Best Cradle album.
Review of Damnation And A Day [PA] - Cradle Of Filth by
joe-survey
Advantages: Creates an atmosphere felt with very few albums
Disadvantages: You have to be in the right mood to listen to it
Already being the proud owner of five different cradle of filth albums, when my dad decided he disliked "Damnation and a day" i offered him a few quid for it. What i received was my favourite Cradle album. The album creates a huge atmosphere and in depth world. This is mainly done because it features the 40-piece Budapest Film Orchestra and 32-piece Budapest Film Choir.
The concept
The album is in four parts. The first two parts tell of the ... ...about satan's manipulation on Earth. So overall the album is based on the old testament.
The lyrics
The lyrics are some of my favourites. "Angels in raiments, As pure as coal, Taking their payments, In tortured mortal souls" The lyrics arn't for the faint hearted and arn't too popular with Christians but they are intelligent. You cannot base intelligence on opinion.
The tracks
I. Fantasia Down
"A Bruise Upon the Silent Moon" (Intro)

Another stunner.
Review of Nymphetamine [PA] - Cradle Of Filth by
Flammable_Eye
Advantages: Great new album, barricading drums, tragic guitar riffs and amazing lyrics.
Disadvantages: NONE
...'Damnanation and a day', Nymphetamine will no doubt grab thousands more fans.
Almost every song on this album is unbeatable and i only hope Cradle can match or even better, top this album with their new release coming later this year entitle, Thornorgraphy. Each track has its very own uniqueness, and is noticeably different from their last track and yet, still sounding like Cradle Of Filth.
There are two covers on this album called 'Mr. Crowely' ... ...Gilded C**t
Nemesis
Gabrielle
Absinthe With Faust
Nymphetamine (Overdose)
Painting Flowers White Never Suited My Palette
Medusa And Hemlock
Coffin Fodder
English Fire
Filthy Little Secret
Swansong For A Raven
Mother Of Abominations
Nymphetamine (Fix)
Bestial Lust
Devil Woman
Soft White Throat
Bestial Lust (Bitch)
Prey
Nymphetamine (Deva-Fix)
Mr. Crowley ...

Fast becoming my new favourite
Review of Cruelty And The Beast - Cradle Of Filth by
joe-survey
Advantages: Full of passion and creativity
Disadvantages: Absolutely none.
...of the album.
3. Cruelty Brought Thee Orchids - Started with narrative by Ingrid Pitt, this song is another highlight. It has speed and yet doesn't seem rushed. It has it's slower parts and these add emotion to the song.
4. Beneath the Howling Stars - This song feels huge. I don't know what it is but something gives it such an atmosphere. Also features narrative adding to the effect of the song.
5. Venus in Fear - A short but extremely effective ... ...6. Desire in Violent Overture - This song is probably the fastest on the album. Starting with a blastbeat and screeched vocals before cutting to a clean riff and then very short solos. It all falls together so quick but so well.
7. The Twisted Nails of Faith - This song has such an eerie start to it. Creepy music with narrative over the top builds to a climax when it goes a lot quiter before the song cuts in with a roar.
8. Báthory Aria
-Benighted ...

Absolutely incredible
Review of From The Cradle To Enslave EP (Parental Advisory) [PA] - Cradle Of Filth by
joe-survey
Advantages: Five great songs
Disadvantages: One slightly less than great song
...here we go.
1. From the cradle to enslave: The reason i bought this ep. After seeing the video and having the song stuck in my head for what seemed like eternity i just had to have it. It has atmosphere and is still skullcrushingly heavy.
2. Of dark blood and f**king: This song is very fast for cradle although it has it's slow bits complete with choir. These just finish the song off perfectly. Once again tremendous lyrics even if the song title ... ...to the other songs. Apart from that, it's fantastic.
Summary
Six songs on an ep is good. Six different songs is great. Six songs of this quality is amazing. Worth every penny, it is full of every emotion and features songs that i feel, with the exception of Funeral in carpathia, could be released as singles. If you want something different to normal cradle or just something different then this is for you.
Thanks for reading
