Best Cradle album.

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) ...

Review of Damnation And A Day [PA] - Cradle Of Filth

Let precious chaos vent.

Advantages: good music, heavy
Disadvantages: a few weak songs and filler

...not really needed. 2. Principle of Evil Made Flesh. Wow, this song really kicks you in the balls. It is fast, heavy, and evil, just the way metal should be right? Great, apocalyptic lyrics are key to this song. Their is a guitar solo in it too, although it is very hard to hear, as it was mixed poorly. There is a female vocal part in the middle, after the solo, speaking some words of German before the song kicks back into full speed ahead. 3. The ...
...popular. This version though is way different than the one found on Vempire. It is slower, sloppier, and not as heavy. I can't really find any fault in it, except that maybe the keyboard part at the beginning may turn away some die hard Black Metal fans. 4. Iscariot. Another short instrumental piece. Skip. 5. The Black Goddess Rises. Another CoF classic and deservingly so. The intro piano part is very eerie, and reminds of an old late night 50's ...

Review of Principle Of Evil Made Flesh, The - Cradle Of Filth

midian: a superb and memorable album

Advantages: catchy, some of danni and cos greatest lyrics
Disadvantages: some songs are samey

...of at the gates of midian to the cataclysmic end on tortured soul asylum, this album has it all. the sound on midian differs from many other cradle of filth albums in that the songs, extreme as they are, are extremely catchy, but still stay true to their roots (unlike songs from the controversial album thornography). i often find myself sing along to songs like Amor E Morte, Lord Abortion and Her Ghost In The Fog on the tube, train bus plane and ...

Review of Midian - Cradle Of Filth

Wow.

Advantages: Amazing musical talent
Disadvantages: Music style is not everyone's cup of tea

Wow. That's the only word I can use to describe this album. For those of you who have heard the album "Bitte Suites to Succubi", this album is second only to that. On this album, Cradle produce an amazing sound that creates a sense of power, striking a certain fear into ones heart. Dani's vocal talents are as amazing as ever, as is the drumming. I have owned this album for about a year now, and I still listen to it on a regular basis. Although Cradle ...

Review of Cruelty And The Beast - Cradle Of Filth

Another stunner.

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' ...
