Cradle of Filth - The Manticore and Other Horrors (2012)

[XxSicRokerxX]

Just heard a few tracks on Youtube, its an improvement from their last few albums, but personally I feel that since Damnation of a Day it just hasn't been the same. Check it out.

I never got his vocal style. Music sounds alright though.

I was a fan until Cruelty And The Beast. Their 'black album', imo.
This one sounds a bit more metal than previous ones I guess - still, too rockish for my taste. I like the guitar sound

Thanks for posting!

Its all down hill after Midian, imo

That last 5 albums have been fucking awesome and the ones with Sneap are production benchmarks IMO. I love what Scott Atkins has been doing with these past two, though!

The "horrors" of their music...

Seriously though, fuck the electric chair all you need are handcuffs and COF and they will scream just like they were being electrocuted...

Can you just stop already? You contribute absolutely nothing to this forum and you constantly try to stir up drama.

I've always had a unique vibe of the guitars in CoF not really sounding too 'traditional', as if guitars wouldn't be really guitars and this one doesn't seem the exception (I used to think it was the unusual tremolo picking guitar arrangements from back in the day, but that vibe is still there.. as if they would have some freq cut in their bag of tricks or something. It makes the guitars so listenable. I'm guessing it could to do namely with Paul Allender, since it translates into various productions..

I'm going to have to get myself into listening to the production side of recent albums, especially the Sneap ones. I'm sure I've said it before but a mix of his on older lineups would have been really interesting (to me, at least).

Midian is a fucking classic imho. But I have to agree, since Damnation and a Day... it's been going downhill for me.

 

[TheDriller]

Funnily enough I was just listening to Damnation And A Day for the first time in about 5 years, still an absolute beast of a record.

Not sure about this new stuff though, I lost interest completely around the time of Thornography and haven't kept up.

Dusk And Her Embrace is an awesome album but his voice back then was so fucking annoying.
