AAAAAAAARRRGGGGGHHHH MY NECK!!!!!!!!!!!, I fill someone sucking my blood, Elizabeth, is it you?..... No, itīs Cradle Of Filth with Midian, a great symphonic Black Metal album.
This time the british vampires show a more aggresive sound, I would say that this album is a combination between the first Cradle Of Filth sound with the new -more symphonic oriented- sound that the band showed in albums like the classic "Dusk And Her Embrace" and "Cruelty And The Beast".
Tracks like "Cthulu Dawn", "Suffron's Curse", "Her Ghost In The Fog" and other ones are just amazing, also the dark and sinister "Satanic Mantra" track, which is a frase repeated many times, each one with more intensity.In this album Cradle Of Filth are definig their own sound, being this very far from the classic Black Metal style and it has some gothic elements on it.
In conclussion COF has made a great record which will help the band to gain more fans. Buy it or Burn In Hell!!!

Score:8.5/10
