There are musical formulas that never become exhausted. Bands that choose such formulas as basis for their works enjoy long-lasting, successful careers. No fan requires any change in their musical direction, everyone is universally happy if such a band releases another album that fits into the band's template. Among classic bands that fit this description are AC/DC, Motörhead, Slayer, to name just a few that immediately spring to mind.

Cradle Of Filth are a band that have performed a slow but legendary downfall. And they managed to rise like a phoenix from its ash, but faster than any phoenix could. Darkly, Darkly, Venus Aversa is now the second count in their rise and still has something to add in terms of speed, darkness and pure blasting metal. This record is once more a concept album and deals with the demoness Lilith, which happened to be the first wife of Adam in the book of Genesis. But we are here to talk about music, so let's get into it!

Love them or hate them, Cradle Of Filth are back with their most extreme album since Cruelty And The Beast. The band are still the modern force you have come to terms with of recent years, but the band have gone up yet another gear with this release.

This album is so fucking amazing! Unbelievable some ratings on this site... 
This is the best lineup since Cruelty and the Beast, and for sure Ashley "Ellyllon" Jurgemeyer is the best addiction of the band in many years, and have a decisive contribution to this masterpiece, as well as the (imo) best drummer they ever had, Martin "Marthus" �karoupka. I even think he is the responsible for the CoF ressurection after the deception Thornography.
Exactly what I think! Martin is one of the best metal drummers (besides Hahto, Duhamel...) and performs his parts in an awesome way, he is truly (after Dani and maybe together with Paul) the best member of the current lineup... and Ellyllon is also awesome, I like what she composes solo too.

I think this is their best album together with Midian and Godspeed. Even if the concept is pretty much impossible to follow through the lyrics, wich nontheless are very hunting and interesting, Dani's vocals are evergreen, and mach more audible than the first albums -wich I dont like all that much for that reason- and it has speed beyond imagination, violence and those catchy bits that never hurt. I wish I'd bought the deluxe edition...

I do not know, but this album "Darkly Darkly..." for me is very dissapointing. It is the same things of the last album. It has a great production, great sound, but any song seams really interesting. The whole album is catchy, I know, but, I could not find any amazing song, just parts of a good album, but nothing else.
For me, the Thornography album seems more interesting than this brand new. At lest they were more original!

It's a nice album with rich compositions, not like the "old" CoF albums but hey we're all growing older  I still prefer Godspeed on the Devil's Thunder tho which seem more solid but this is a nice album too. I don't think we'll ever see albums like Midian or Cruelty and The Beast but like I saod before, it's evolution... Like it or not.

Its far better than "Thornography" but I still go for Godspeed on the Devil's Thunder.

With the exception of Forgive me father...(A track that i consider to be the weakest song of the album) this album is solid, and certainly one of COF's best in the 21st Century. Mind you,when i first listened to this record,i absolutely hated it for some reason. But this album is indeed a grower, because, as is the case with Cradle of filth these days, albums like this need more than one listen to fully take in what's happening. And even then its either a love/hate kinda thing.
