UK extreme metallers Cradle of Filth's new masterwork is their tenth studio full-length and likened to a bestiary, a collection of stories on monsters; personal demons, Chimeras, literary fiends and world-enslaving entities, to blame but a few. The album itself possesses an altogether new atmosphere for the band, incorporating a heavier, faster NWOBM punk vibe that is both current and cruel, blended with ornate orchestration and the quirky immediateness of 2000's Midian opus. Catch them on tour in early 2013 - Long Live the 'Filth!
