When Cradle Of Filth announced they had signed a deal with the major label Sony, cries of sell out could be heard throughout the black metal community. Some fans have even gone as far as mourning the one great C.O.F. before hearing a single note of the new album! But with eight highly influential releases emerging from their previous label Music For Nations, and sales of over one million albums worldwide certified, the time had come to move up to the level, or simply remain at the same status quo. C.O.F. simply chose to push the limits and see just how successful black metal could possibly become within popular culture. The two years since their last studio album has been anything but quiet for the C.O.F. fan, with a mini album , a best of retrospective and a live album keeping the fan base tided over till the next monumental opus was finally released.

A real mixture of an album. There are some brilliant moments here(Hurt and virtue, an enemy led the tempest, the promise of fever) and some flawed tracks (Serpent tongue, end of daze, better to reign in hell). Seems to me most of DAAD is concentrated on orchestral moments rather than anything else.

Great album, very well done. I really enjoyed it, not like some others like "Dusk And Her Embrace" or "Cruelty And The Beast" whitch doesn't have many personality.

You shouldn't be listening to COF if you are to think those two records don't have any personality

Amazingly well-produced,all sounds are quite clear and tangible.The drum parts are nice and exciting.
The symphonic parts are really magnificent.
On the other hand, the record lacks creativity in the riffs and the melodies and the songs are somehow monotonous.
If you listen to this record even for more than several times you cannot enjoy anything special except the symphonic instrumental tracks.

Great album, not as masterpiece as Midian, but very close. I give it 9/10.
