Album Notes & Community Reviews

This concept album explores the dark, historical narrative of the 15th-century French nobleman and serial killer Gilles de Rais. The record sees the British ensemble returning to a faster, more extreme sound, anchoring Dani Filth's shrieks against bombastic symphonic metal arrangements and cinematic orchestration.
