    Rating:
    Second coming for british black metal band Cradle of filth, it actually is a full-length one although it seem to be some kind of mini cd - only 6 tracks of which one is instrumental, one is a short half-instrumental with some talking in it, and one is a re-make of a song from "Principle..". Anyway, I think this is much much better than the debut album, more melodic, they've hired better guitarists this time, more keyboards, better vocals (he doesn't sing as fast so you hear more of the words that come out of his mouth) and better female "talking" stuff, like in the re-make of "The forest whispers my name" where a woman says "Dark faerytales in Phallustein... symbols and signs to know us by" - very cool.
    I just wish this cd had more songs, and was longer than almost 40 minutes. But do buy this if you like black metal and CoF in particular, I promise you won't be dissapointed.
