Great 1996 album, with a real medieval feel! Absoluteley, totally heavy with a real focus on battles and the Apocalypse.
Production is strong and it's a full on assault of riffs & drums that batter into submission. Satyr's vocals are brutal, and yet always easy to understand. The album has some of THE best use of keyboards within Black Metal, on classics such as Mother North. And there's plenty of clear, audible bass guitar as well, to back up the insaneley heavy guitar work.
Great drums, fast & heavy, sometimes really tribal from the legend that is Frost.
I defy anyone to put forward a heavier track than Forhekset!
There's lyrics written in both English & the band's native Norwegian. Always dark, violent ... Read More:

It's a bit softer than their other albums, and the songs aren't as fun to listen to either. And the lyrics can be weak at points, but other songs (Guilded C*nt, Nymphetamine Fix, English Fire) make up for that. However, overall, it is not as good as their previous albums or their newest ones. If you're just getting into Cradle, though, this might be a good one to get if you're not accustomed to really thrashy stuff. Then, after this, you can get Thornography and work your way back from Damnation & A Day. So...yeah. This is a good introduction to metal and COF, but if you're already a fan of both, it's got it's strong points and it's (very) weak points...

The first Cradle of Filth album I bought was 'Midian', which I was very impressed by. After reading some reviews I decided to buy 'Cruelty And The Beast'. However, due to a mix up I received this album instead. So I thought "What the hell? I might aswell listen to it!". Little did I know that my taste in music would be changed so dramatically by this album.

The first thing I noticed was the contrast between the production on this album and on Midian. The "wall of sound" on Midian is replaced by a sparse sonic landscape. The guitars are fuzzy, the bass cold, the drums tight; all backed by keyboards, brimming with elegance. The vocals Dani produced on this album are raw, more true to the 'black metal' that was beginning to surface ... Read More:

After sampling 'In Legue with Satan' off the great lightnin' to the nations compliaton CD I imediatly bout the first 3 Venom albums and I have to say their debut is the best of the 3 and an absolute classic slab of metal!

Now everyone says Venom are notorious for bad production and they are right, but I have a feeling it was semi-diliberate to try and achieve the heaviest sound they could muster and it pays off, this is a brutal album and must of sounded like pure noise back in 1981(!).

The album opens up on a surprisingly weak song 'Sons of Satan' but dont let that put you off, the title track is a stonecold classic, so much that Iron Maiden completly ripped off the main riff for one of their best songs '2 minutes to midnight', ... Read More:

Venoms finest moment is here on this fine re-issue of a true classic black metal album. the singer is not good, the guitar is rubbish and the bass is awful but its venom, true metal. easily the best black metal album ever, no competition............CLASS

After searching everywhere for this soundtrack I was so happy when it popped up on the search Screen in Amazon. My favourite pieces are the ones from Ghost Dances and the music is absolutely amazing, so simple yet so moving, I thought it was brilliant.

I love the American Influenced music and whenever I listen to this soundtrack I always get hte powerful Image of Bruce's choreography - it's amazing. If you are a lover of Bruce's work and the soundtracks to all of them, then this is IT, and even if you are not, GET IT ANYWAY, not to be regretted.

I'm always cautious when approaching hyped albums, albums which are labelled the best a band has ever put out and especially albums labelled as 'genre-classics'. Such albums tend fall flat on their faces in dissapointment or, as is more often the case, fall victim to their own hype in that, while not being bad, they cannot live up to their reputation. The Jester Race, however, lives up to it's reputation as In Flames best and a genre classic.

The beauty of the Jester Race comes from its simplicty;a heads down, riff heavy metal album of the finest calibar, which has, to my ears, an almost working-class work ethic in that it delivers solid, top notch metal tunes without being overly flashy or needlessly technical. Take, for example, the legendary opener 'Moonshield'. ... Read More:

What is there to say. If you have heard Obituary before, then you know what to expect (to a degree). If you haven't and are considering trying them out, then do so right now! These boys know the meaning of death metal and execute it to perfection time and again.

This two from the vault version is great because you get two doses of Obituary in one foul swoop. As for the content, lets just say that John Tardy has the ability to churn out the most powerful vocals of any metal group, accompanied by suitably hideous guttural noises which compliment this type of power. Also, the sound of the guitars is totally evil, how Allan West manages to create such melodic yet gut wrenching riffs and solos is beyond me! And the drums, well you need to be a little insane anyway, fantastic.

10.Eps of Rp by: Rudimentary Peni
April 16, 1995
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

>>More Details
Music : Eps of Rp
I got this album as became more interested in the punk rock anarcho scene. I was surprised at many of the references to H.P. Lovecraft and I think that Nick Blinko is a similar artist. The songs are all very short, and are definately best enjoyed with the lyrics at hand, to see what is going on. Great testament to the wisdom and creativity of Nick Blinko, whos fantastic and frightening artwork makes this CD even better. However, only four stars because it is a sound that is different to get used to.
