The end of Brutality

"If your into Dark and Menacing Metal with an Extreme side than this will be to your liking. The album begins with an Intro of storms and orchestral epicness(I know its not a word, but it fits). After the Intro you are taken on a ride of fast paced Gothed out Black Metal full of pummeling double bass work and ear slaying guitar riffing. Dani Filth(vocalist) has always used a controversial style of vocals, Ranging from girlish shrieks to low audible baritone and everything in between. The tempo for the most part is fast paced though not mind boggling fast to where the music isn't audible for our more timid metal fans but fast enough to keep you head banging.
Truth be told I believe this is Cradle of Filth's last Extreme album. Compared to everything released after this it is obvious Filth 'n' Co is quickly dissolving away there questionable Black Metal roots in order to gain a larger audience. If your looking for Gothic Metal look else where though theres an obvious Dark aura to Damnation and a Day it's fair from the melodic stylings of the Goth sub genres. If your looking for Dark moody Extreme Metal than this album should be right up your ally.
