Black of Black November 11, 2008
Like the coming of the rapture I fall to my knees on hearing the new album from the darkest of the dark - Cradle of Filth one of the only things not in decline thanks to the credit crunch...
With a few steps back as far as feel goes and several steps forward artistically the new album holds all the elements that has made Cradle who they are today, a full on darkest of operas pack to the horns with love, death & debauchery - everything you want and need from a Filth album and I'll be really interested to see how this latest offering translates to their live shows.
All in all an album crafted on the Devil's own sound desk and sent forth into the mortal world to turn us all to the darker side, after all they don't play metal in heaven everyone knows that !!!!
one of the best albums ever November 10, 2008
this is cradle of filth were talking about here they know what there doin and this album is possibly there best record yet killer production and beaut production
THE SYMPHONIC FEEL IS BACK! November 8, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
In a good year for Symphonic Black/Death Metal, with excellent releases from the likes of Haggard, Hollenthon, Therion and even a touch of the strings on Judas Priest's Nostradamus, this is another fine addition!
Far less gimmicky and WAY more intense, than the underwhelming Thornography, this is a return to the cinematic scope of 2003's Damnation And A Day. There is much in terms of bombastic orchestration to be enjoyed - provided by keyboard/synth but none the less impressive for this. In fact, it's rivalled only by the sterling keyboard work on Epica's Divine Conspiracy in it's recreation of a real orchestral style sound. Haunting choral work is also present to chill and unease.
The production is lavish, yet never loses sight that this IS Metal. Furious bass drums, harsh riffs and the demonic wails of Dani Filth liken comparison to Dimmu Borgir. It's interesting that producer Andy Sneap's former band, the much missed Sabbat are often recalled here in the brutal vocal patterns, and guitar work (check out their Dreamweaver album ;-))
The lyrics are dark and eloquently written, depicting the lifestory of a middle ages serial killer.
Doug Bradley (Pinhead, Hellraiser) adds the final touches with superbly spoken narrative interludes - probably no one better than the man at this.
Special mention for the superb artwork!
This is so much better than the last album in every single department...
Wow November 5, 2008
I was never much of a fan of Cradle's early works, although I admired the bands visualisations and their subject matter, I couldn't get past Dani's banshee/night after a bad curry vocal combo. However, Midian reeled me in with the fantastic "Her Ghost In The Fog" and I've been a fan ever since. I find it easy to like/dislike Cradle's albums, where Midian was an amazing album, I found Damnation hard work. I loved Nymphetamine and whilst I couldn't immediately like Thornography, I've since revisited it and found it to be an excellent album that I unfairly wrote off at first.
Godspeed is a whole different ball game though, I can't stop playing it. I've noticed other reviewers, fans of Cradles early stuff saying that this is the best since the old days...which I find interesting because I think that this album is a progression from Thornography. This album is meticulous in execution, from the concept to the ever reliable Doug Bradley's narration. The music is astounding, this band has never sounded better, I've always been impressed by the sheer poetry of Dani and this release is no exception.
I'm not even annoyed at the inclusion of two 'bonus' tracks on CD2 from "Harder, Darker Faster" (even though I bought the original Thornography) as for a change Roadrunner have given me the option of buying a special edition at the same time as the regular edition. Rare for Roadrunner!
All in all, I've never played a Cradle album as much as this one (much to the annoyance of my family/neighbours), a solid release from a band that polarize opinion but are always full of surprises.
Where's My Album?! November 4, 2008
Ok I'm sure this is great, I've heard a few tracks online, but where's my album?- I pre-ordered it on Amazon and I'm told it still hasn't been dispatched now over a week after the release day; this is obviously completely unacceptable. I have been waiting expectantly for the album for a long while and wanted to have it before halloween; I am now very angry. I recommend you do not buy it on Amazon but if you have to make sure you do not do so from 'Amazon's Jesery merchant'.
