Pure Symphonic Black Metal

(5 out of 5 stars)
"While not as astonishing or as well constructed as early Cradle Of Filth, this album is truly a work of art. The keyboard is used amazingly to generate a dark sustaining atmosphere and is forth enhanced by the other instruments. The riffs arnt to incredible but with the use of the keyboards they really dont have to be. I find that this album has sort of a mix of COF and Dimmu, although swaying more towards early COF. Some have told me they are a rip off of cradle and that they sound exactly the same. If you honer the genre at all, you will find they have their own distinct sound. If you arnt pig headed about your music and think COF is the only band out there then you will thouroughly enjoy this album. Any decent symphonic black metal that comes out I try to get my hands on and these guys totally blew me away. If you like Early COF or Dimmu, this is a must have album. It will truly amaze you."
