Cradle Of Filth
Cryptoriana - The Seductiveness Of Decay

In general, as it has already become clear, talented musicians here are embarrassed to show all their abilities. First of all, this concerns the guitarists: they, without straining themselves, scratch the standard methods for the group, only occasionally allowing themselves dosed luxuries. The same “The Night at Catafalque Manor” shows that they deal with the question, for example, adapting the “old spirit” to current standards with a bang. But the solo parts are here - you’ll swing! And if Paul, for whom this aspect was almost the only positive skill, took melody, then Ashok gives the band's music poisonous tones of disharmony, which noticeably refreshes the sound. Specifically, in this sense, I consider the disclosure of potential close to maximum. Well, the keys and drums can be described in just one word - non-intrusiveness. Martin clearly made an effort to not once again ridicule the flesh of the album with excessive blasting, and the synthesizer finally went into the role of a barely perceptible dance.
