There has been plenty of debate over the years over this band's musical direction and the motives behind it. But whether you love them or hate them you simply cannot deny that this band has played a major part in bringing some of the darker forms of metal to the fore of this musical sub-culture.

Purely due to their controversial nature it is absolutely imperative we are able to look at their music without any prejudice or preconceived judgements. There was in fact a time when they were well respected in the Black Metal fraternity and this term is used lightly to avoid any immediate accusations of incorrect genre definition.

This album is almost flawless. Almost. Carmilla's Masque and nocturnal supremacy are filler material to me,but the rest of the album is solid\m/

Worst vocals ever, too much symphonic elements, guitars buried under synthesizers... Couldn't listen to it after the fifth track. I hope their following album are better, specially the vocalist.

His vocals are pretty much all the same. If you don't like them here, then it's very slim you will ever like them. Dani's vocals are the deciding factor for everybody, you either LOVE them or DESPISE them.

That means.... I probably will never hear a CoF album again.

Check out their first album The Principle of Evil Made Flesh. Danni's vocal stay is more aggressive and raspy than on this one. (Btw is this how you comment on a previous comment?)

Doesn't seem so. Unless you deliberately wanted to ommit who posted the comment you're quoting, which I don't think is the case.

Instead, just click on the quote button on the upper right of the post you wish to quote, then the post dialog box will appear with the code already set.
It should look like

{quote author=useridentificationnumber date=YEAR-MM-DD Hr:Mn:Sd}

{/quote}

except that with square brackets instead... then you just type your text among the quotes.

Their best album is Cruelty And The Beast if you ask me... This one is retty good too but I completely understand the hate on the vocals. I learned to just go past them once I focus on the great riffs, kind of like with Silencer haha.

More melodious and atmospheric than the first album. Waaay better production and engineering this time and better keyboard parts are available.
But it is just an only-good album and nothing near to a masterpiece or epic record. Filth screams more on this and Barker drums are brutal.The best feature in this album are maybe backing vocals of Sarah Jezebel Deva which are really something.

I'll never understand how people could have an issue with the vocals cause they're easily the best part of the album. They complement the music and gothic, vampyre-esque theme really well. Love it when he hits those high shrieks as well.

I don't have any real issues with the vocals either, this was one of Dani's best overall vocal performancs imo. This album is absolutely fantastic! There's so many great songs on here, lyrically it's beautiful, it has a haunting atmosphere, and the title track is amazing, easily one of their best tracks imo. I would call this their best album, slightly ahead of Cruelty And The Beast
