There are musical formulas that never become exhausted. Bands that choose such formulas as basis for their works enjoy long-lasting, successful careers. No fan requires any change in their musical direction, everyone is universally happy if such a band releases another album that fits into the band's template. Among classic bands that fit this description are AC/DC, Motörhead, Slayer, to name just a few that immediately spring to mind.

Cradle Of Filth are a band that have performed a slow but legendary downfall. And they managed to rise like a phoenix from its ash, but faster than any phoenix could. Darkly, Darkly, Venus Aversa is now the second count in their rise and still has something to add in terms of speed, darkness and pure blasting metal. This record is once more a concept album and deals with the demoness Lilith, which happened to be the first wife of Adam in the book of Genesis. But we are here to talk about music, so let's get into it!

Love them or hate them, Cradle Of Filth are back with their most extreme album since Cruelty And The Beast. The band are still the modern force you have come to terms with of recent years, but the band have gone up yet another gear with this release.

I do not know, but this album "Darkly Darkly..." for me is very dissapointing. It is the same things of the last album. It has a great production, great sound, but any song seams really interesting. The whole album is catchy, I know, but, I could not find any amazing song, just parts of a good album, but nothing else.
For me, the Thornography album seems more interesting than this brand new. At lest they were more original!

You serious? Thornography is their worst album ever.

This album is just good in my opinion, not great, not bad, just good. "Lilith Immaculate" is the best and most memorable song imo.
