Not dead, but dying

Journal Entry: Tue Oct 24, 2006, 12:07 AM


Journal

I'm still here, but I'm so busy at this time.
Perhaps you wonder why my journal layout is gone. It's because I have problems with my provider and until then I don't have a website or pictures either.

There were alot of changes around here, but I can't write them right now, because I'm in school :D

See ya later!

Weekly Review
Cradle of Filfth - Thornography


Undoubtedly one of the most successful forces in extreme British music, Cradle of Filth are increasingly becoming the sort of metal band that Tim Burton would join were he to fold up his director’s chair and whip out a guitar. “Thornography”, the band’s follow-up to the Grammy nominated “Nymphetamine”, is the next progressive step towards this truly being the case. Make no mistake, CoF are still blacker than a piece of coal in a windowless bunker, but somehow they’ve managed to take their sick visions and morbid aspirations and make them appealing to an audience wider than that of the typical extreme metal band.

But isn’t this a bad thing? Well, only if you’re the type of fan that won’t permit your favourite bands to change, to grow and to reach out to more people. For the rest of us, it’s invigorating that an act as well-established as Dani Filth and his nightmarish ne’er-do-wells are still able to stir up refreshing dark musings after fifteen years on the job. However, this won’t change the fact that “Thornography” is liable to offend some long-standing fans – especially those that couldn’t find the merits in “Nymphetamine”. Songs such as “Temptation” (a cover of Heaven 17’s classic song) and “Byronic Man” (which features pin-up prince, Valle Villo, on backing vocals) will doubtlessly enrage some diehards, but in truth calling these tracks commercial would be akin to suggesting that (blind politician) David Blunkett would make a good sharp-shooter.

Aside from those two bold moves, the rest of the material straddles the symphonic melodies of latter day Filth albums and the heavier, riffier works that appeared on albums such as “Damnation and a Day”, which should mean that songs like “I am the Thorn” and “Under Huntress Moon” will appease fans both new and old. Indeed the former is amongst the band’s finest of songs.

So whilst it’s true that “Thornography” continues the band’s dark mission into rhythmic territory, it’s also true that this remains one of their heaviest albums thus far and to ignore it based on the fact that CoF are no longer the sort of band that only attract stalwart black metal fans would be to deny yourself of a very good record.

I have long black hair, glasses (black), a piercing in my bottom lip (left side - ring) and an earring.
I only wear black clothes. Expecially chemise and tie. But because of the hot weather only a black t-shirt. Usually boots, but because of the hot weather black converse allstars...
