"First off I want to clarify and end this argument seeings how I am always right. This EP is entitled V Empire, not Vempire! Ask Dani Filth himself. Or better yet, read the lyrics for "Ebony Dressed For Sunset", he says it as plain as day. Or even better yet, it is written on the back of the case. Damn I'm good!!!

Anyway, this EP is insane. The opener "Ebony Dressed For Sunset" as mentioned above is heavy as Hell! Then follows the remake of "The Forest Whispers My Name" done with more fury and power. The the epic & grandiose opus "Queen Of Winter, Throned"!

This song is over 10 or 11 minutes, I can't remember. But it goes from heavy riffs to thrashy speed to progressive changes. Absolutely magnificent!!! "Nocturnal Supremacy" has a very "The Forest Whispers My Name" feel in my opinion. Heavy and fast. "She Mourns A Lengthening Shadow" is a great instrumental track and changes pace from the rest of the album. Then you get bitch slapped again by "The Rape And Ruin Of Angels (Hosanna In Extremis)" which ends very dramatically with writhing screams & moans of angels being raped. All in all this is one of the greatest EP's ever created!"
