It must be tough to be Dani Filth right now. The voice of your early career has left you and the one thing you can still properly sing is some gentle gothic metal as last seen on the Godspeed On The Devil's Thunder album. However, for this kind of music your chief songwriter has just left you. The departure of Paul Allender was both sad and promising. He is a great guitarist, yet most fans can agree that the band was in bloom at the times he wasn't around. That is why I personally had some hopes. But as it often turns out in the end, he should not have left. Read more ›› |

There are two ways that metal bands tend to choose to (not) stay relevant throughout their careers: The Opethian Way or the Amon Amarthian Way. The former consists of changing your musical direction aggressively, which is a lot riskier and can sometimes alienate a lot of old school fans (ex: Opeth or In Flames), but on the other hand it can provide a much-needed second wind (ex: Paradise Lost or Machine Head). The latter consists of staying true to your winning formula and changing nothing or very little from album to album, which may or may not keep your old school fans interested. For me, Amon Amarth are the band that best represents this formula, and I have lost interest in their most recent albums, as it's just more of the same. Read more ›› |

Written by Opethian on 26.04.2015 at 21:54 Hmm it's been a long time since CoF was last filthy but I don't care because I love all of their album. Yet to me the band is now dead and buried so that I'm not expecting anything at all.

Manticore was quite varied, as opposed the the extremely monotonous Darkly, Darkly. I hope they stick to that direction.

Written by s_t_s on 26.04.2015 at 23:25 Last solid release for me was 'GodSpeed' in 2008. Would love get some of that exact energy back from the band. Hopefully with Paul gone and with this new line up, we do get that

Written by Opethian on 30.04.2015 at 03:53 Agreed that Godspeed is one hell of an ass kicker ! Darkly Venus Aversa is good too, even tho it lacks Godspeed majesty imho. Manticore is just... Dunno... uninspired ? It does sound good at moments yet I cannot remember a single track right now  I suggest you give Devilment a try tho, I really like their first album !

Man, that cover surely is damn ugly. "Let's put some tits so it will look great!", so fucking cliché.

Personally never being in to CoF I have just a few tracks from some albums that I really like. But this one I really good and I never was expected such cool material from CoF.

Saw them at Hellfest, and it was the worst gig I've ever saw in my life. I don't really want to check that album but I'll check one song

Written by Korah on 13.07.2015 at 01:01 Live they've always been bad. CoF was always more of a studio band than a live band to be honest with you. This album is worth checking out.

Not bad at all. Paul Allender leaving was probably a good thing. They had begun to sound kind of stale.

I never stopped liking Cradle Of Filth, but everything since Midian felt like there was something missing. Finally it's here again! I'm surprised by how "good" Dani's voice sounds, considering it's been ruined for years; somehow, it fits quite well here. It's a shame that he'll never sound like this live.

6.0  lol you guys just won't stop.This is a very good album. Nothing like Dusk and her embrace or Cruelty of course but it's easily the best COF album in 15 years. Thank god Paul left, the new guitar players shit on Allender, their execution is almost flawless. Go buy it. 6.0... LMAO

Written by Sean 79 on 14.07.2015 at 22:46 Considering his work in his new project (being as average as the last CoF releases), yeah, good decision.
