with
Cradle of Filth
by Jeff Collins

Ten years after their debut recording, Cradle of Filth hails from across the Atlantic to shock State-side audiences with their latest release, Nymphetamine.  

Somewhere between the eerie, classical ambiance of “Satyriasis” to the skull crushing opening riff of “Gilded Cunt,” Cradle of Filth leads the listener away on one of the spookiest heavy metal journeys of the year.

Nymphetamine delivers disturbing melodies offset by crunchy metal riffs and aggressive drumming, decorated by the banshee-like screams of singer Dani Filth. 

The scope of Cradle’s sound is much larger than that of your typical metal band.  Dreary harmonies and creepy melodic interludes add a larger-than-life quality to the group’s tight arrangements, bringing the sonic experience to a much larger scale than most of their peers.

With Nymphetamine, the band has given its fans a well-rounded sonic experience this Halloween season, one that will undoubtedly be haunting the soundtracks of future slasher-flicks.  

Nymphetamine is well crafted and nicely polished, without compromising the integrity with which the band celebrates humanity’s dark side.  If you like macabre music and lyrics laden with occult imagery, Cradle of Filth’s new record is definitely worth checking out.
