Summary: What happened?!
Comment: I wasn't expecting much from this release after their last album Thornography which almost marked the end my 13 years old love for this band. This album and especially this special edition has a LOT of good metal on it. Suddenly Dani Filth growls and scream like never before. Songs like: Shat out of hell, The Death Of Love, The 13th Caesar, Sweetest Maleficia, Darkness Incarnate, Godspeed on the devil's thunder really marks the return of Cradle Of Filth. Love the riffs and good drumming. COF may be hated by many, but that is the true sign of success if you ask me.
I'm really too old to listen to this music now (30 years) Never too old for GOOD aggressive music I guess ;) I fear I'll buy the next album too..
Big "huzzah" to the new drummer btw..he does a great job!
This might be their best album since..well, yes Cruelty and the Beast..only this album has great production too.
Ps: The extra cd has a couple of really good ones too. The demos though I think I could have managed without.

Summary: One of their best.
Comment: Very good album from one of the symphonic black pioneers. This album is a combination of Midian and Cruelty. Definately better than the last two or three albums. A must buy for any Cof fan.

Summary: All Hail the Filthy Ones!
Comment: As a fan of symphonic metal over black metal, I can't say I was at all disappointed with the direction that Cradle of Filth were taking with their album 'Nymphetamine'. After 'Thornography', however, (though it is still in no way a 'bad' album) I was somewhat concerned that they might be headed down the same unhappy route as Sirenia and countless other bands. But how wrong I was!
'Godspeed on the Devil's Thunder' brings back everything we loved about the Cradle of Filth of yore, whilst also bringing a slightly more symphonic feel to the music than in their early albums. Frankly, if you've got any good taste in music whatsoever, then you're going to find something to love about this album.
This time Dani Filth, with his violent albeit beautiful graveyard poetry, weaves the appropriately gruesome tale of Gilles de Rais: a French nobalman/serial killer; cronicoling everything from the death of Joan of Arc, to the atrocities of de Rais, and his trial and execution.
Doug Bradley (AKA Pinhead, for those who're fans of Hellraiser, like me) returns again, this time lending his voice to de Rais. This is just one of those theatrical touches that I've loved about all of Cradle's albums: you can just tell that they've invested so much time and consideration to their projects. Every second of this album is pretty much fantastic, but for me the especial stand-out tracks (aside from their beautiful intro and interludes) are: 'Shat out of Hell', 'The Death of Love', 'The 13th Caesar', 'Sweetest Maleficia', 'Darkness Incarnate' & the stunning 'Honey and Sulpher'.
Alongside 'Median', I can honestly say that this is my favourite album by Cradle of Filth - and hence one of the best albums of all-time. It is brilliant. Get your claws on the two-disc edition while you can!

Summary: Very awesome job!!!
Comment: This album is great. Cradle Of Filth return to their earlier and better sound here. Awesome riffs and to top it off an awesome spot on cover of "Crypt Of Rays" by Celtic Frost, awesome Black Metal! Great job Dani!

2 CD Special Edition. After 8 menacing albums, the kings of black metal return with their most dastardly tale yet. Chronicling the story of the world's first serial killer, French nobleman and soldier of Joan of Arc, Gilles De Rais. Like they had done with the story of Elizabeth Bathory, Cradle of Filth weave a tale of murder, the occult, and sinister deed around their trademark metal sound. Fueled by breakneck speed, crushing guitars, and haunting vocals- the band has delivered their hardest most aggressive and chilling piece yet. This is the 2CD special edition.
