The Manticore & Other Horrors [Deluxe Edition] (CD)
Cradle Of Filth
Amoeba Review
10/29/2012
Having helped birth the modern extreme metal scene in 1991, Cradle of Filth have since risen to international stardom, shedding their early associations with the underground black metal scene for a bigger, more melodic / symphonic sound. Arising from the netherworld on Halloween 2012, The Manticore and Other Horrors is the tenth COF album, and it's a splatterfest of big-screen horror fun. The manticore is a legendary Persian sphinx with razor-sharp teeth that devoured its victims whole -- the lyrics herein unleash a bestiary of mythical creatures as coded symbols for real evils, whether personal, psychological or political. This one goes for broke, sonically speaking, with witchy guest vocals from Lucy Atkins, a full choir, and riffs that run from hardcore punk to industrial goth to every kind of dark metal. Dive into darkness!
