Album Notes & Community Reviews

Continuing the creative revitalization sparked by their previous record, 'Cryptoriana' is a lavish, Victorian-gothic concept album heavily inspired by classic horror literature. The British extreme metal veterans combine blistering twin-guitar attacks, sweeping orchestrations, and Dani Filth's unmistakable shrieks to construct a grand, highly theatrical nightmare.
