| Cradle of Filth - Dusk and Her Embrace |
| Wednesday, August 8, 2007 |
Dusk... and Her Embrace was my introduction to Cradle of Filth. After reading rave reviews of the album and reading the lyrics online (this was back in 1997) I decided to pick the album up. At first I wasn't too impressed but the more I listened to it the more I found I loved it. It quickly became my favorite metal album (at that time at least). I had never heard a metal band that had integrated keyboards to the extent that Cradle had and yet managed to to remain... well, metal. The music was as fast, dark and heavy as most death metal bands yet the arrangments were more sophisticated, the atmospheres more intense and the music was gushing with emotion (actual moments of beauty on a metal album-GASP!). Looking back the synths sound a little cheesy but the album is so utterly excellent that this minor short coming is not really noticable. Every track is excellent. "Funeral in Carpathia", "Malice Through the Looking Glass", "Beauty Slept in Sodom" and the title track are all masterpieces. To this day this album ranks in my top ten favorite metal discs. Ignore naysayers who dismiss Cradle because they aren't "true" black metal or because they are "commercial" or because they have a sense of humor, etc. This is a fantastic album.
