Review: CD-single

Every Cradle Of Filth-fan, finally the successor of Thornography is available! Godspeed On The Devil’s Thunder is a concept-album based on Gilles De Rais, a nobleman and friend of Joan Of Arc from France, who became a serial killer, Satanist and sexual deviant afterwards. The album is produced and mixed by Andy Sneap, who also mixed (and mastered) their former album. The CD-single Honey And Sulphur is taken from this upcoming album and continues the well-known Cradle Of Filth-path. Nothing wrong with this, because the discussion about a fake mentality has nothing to do with the quality of the music. Honey And Sulphur is a typical song, with the typical vocals (the high-pitched screams and raw grunts, and the operatic choir is present too), the typical pounding guitar riffs, the typical tempo-changes, the typical, atmospheric keyboards and the typical firm and up-tempo rhythm section.
