 (41 Customer Reviews)
NYMPHETAMINE (according to the band, a term defined as a ravenous addiction to classically beautiful women) is Cradle of Filth's sixth full-length album, and third in a row on a new label (in this case, Roadrunner Records). It's also stripped of the grandeur provided by a full orchestra and choir on 2003's DAMNATION AND A DAY. Time spent on the road with 2003's Ozzfest left the band with a need to simplify the arrangements, in an effort to capture the ferocity of their legendary live shows. What's left is heavily thrash-influenced and teeming with fluid guitar lines rooted in the classic British metal of Iron Maiden and Judas Priest.
Relying less on synths, strings, and operatic background vocals, Cradle of Filth turns up the guitars a notch and delivers wave after wave of brutal yet melodic riffs anchored in the band's early influences. Guitarists Paul Allender and James McIlroy twist lines into dark harmonies on "Nemesis" and "Coffin Fodder," while delicate piano intros add atmosphere to "English Fire" and "Absinthe with Faust." The title track features a duet with Liv Kristine (Theatre of Tragedy, Leaves Eyes) that epitomizes the idea of beauty and the beast. NYMPHETAMINE proves that less can indeed mean more.

awesome buy this now!
I got this cd after listening to part of it at a music store, and my friend told me that they were a really good band, so when I got the cd, I put it in, and I love it. The more hardcore the cd is the better! My favorite songs are nymphetamine, and filthy little secret. you NEED to get this cd, i love it, i'm surprised i haven't killed it from listening to it so much.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No My favorite Cradle of Filth album
This album has taken a lot of criticism from those who have been fans of the band since the early '90s when they were just getting started. I have heard a lot of people say that CoF USED to be black metal back in those days but now have turned from their roots. But I have one question. Would you like for them to continue to make albums that all sound the same or would you like them to evolve their sound? I also own Dusk...and Her Embrace, which is widely considered to be the band's best album of their career. Most fans who loved that album, hate this one, calling it a sell-out effort. Dusk...and Her Embrace happens to be my second favorite album from the band. I'm a fan of their old and new stuff alike. Change is good. As far as this album is concerned, like my title states, it is my favorite album from the band. It's full of brutal riffs and uncompromising vocals but also contains some female vocals and nice keyboards and synths. This album also contains my favorite song from the band, "Absinthe with Faust". This album is absolutely amazing, and I recommend it to anyone who is a fan of the band or just metal in general. Hopefully, these guys will be around for years to come!

| | Lacuna Coil Comalies CD (2002)
Nymphetamine CD music
$12.79
Representing a classic case of delayed fame, Italian goth-metal act Lacuna Coil broke into the American music consciousness via a much talked-about showing on the Ozzfest 2004 second stage, nearly two years after the release of their third album, COMALIES. Similar to its American counterparts Evanescence, this European sextet features the dual vocals of Cristina Scabbia and her male counterpart, Andrea Ferro. Despite the liberal amounts of keyboards added to the mix, guitarists Cristiano Migliore and Marco Biazzi more than hold their own, pumping choppy riffs into the 1980s-sounding "Self Deception" and the simmering opener "Swamped." What makes Lacuna Coil so unique in an often musically conservative genre is the band's ability to dabble with ethereal dynamics. Such is the case with the soaring title cut and equally potent "The Ghost Woman and the Hunter," both of which blend neo-classical riffing, swirling synth runs and a perfect juxtaposition of light ...
| | Dimmu Borgir Death Cult Armageddon CD (2003)
Nymphetamine music CDs
$13.55
DEATH CULT ARMAGEDDON was briefly reissued with a limited edition enhanced bonus disc featuring video footage and five bonus tracks.
Purists won't call it black metal, but if one has to choose a sub-genre it'll do. The only other thing you can accurately call it is extreme metal. With DEATH CULT ARMAGEDDON, the Norway based Dimmu Borgir has synthesized the last 20 years of heavy music into one very coherent and terrifying album. Along with Emperor and Cradle of Filth, they have risen to the top of their own dark niche.
Like breaking into a haunted carnival at midnight, DCA assaults you with fear and surprise at every turn. Sound effects and atonal guitar harmonies in "Allegiance" set an evil mood; this is going to be fun, ...

| | Armored Saint Saints Will Conquer CD (1988)
Nymphetamine music CDs
$9.69
The final Armored Saint recording to feature Dave Prichard before the guitarist's untimely passing, Saints Will Conquer is a respectable but rather plain live offering that did little to further the group's artistic or career interests. Prichard handles his instrumental duties with verve and efficiency, and his partners-in-metal also keep their end of the musical bargain on this rather short eight-song set. John Bush (vocals) and Joey Vera (bass) are most notable throughout this and every Armored Saint recording, as they both project a decidedly British metal essence with great personal style. While the group never ascended to the heights of '80s metal success or influence, songs like "Can U Deliver" and "Long Before I Die" might qualify as near-classics. And with one of their era's most potent metal lineups, none of these tracks suffer ...

Nymphetamine songs

The title alone. Anyone taking the lyrical content here even slightly seriously -- and that includes the bandmembers -- clearly needs to be taken away by the nice men in the white jackets. Thoughtfully, complete lyrics are provided -- thus, a verse from "Vomited Anal Tract": "Your vagus implodes, as nausea strikes/Savaging your body in terminal retch/Violent spasms and decaying enzymes/Engulf your throat as you belch." That this or anything else on the album is completely impossible to understand otherwise is part of the insane fun, of course, which is why Carcass is both one ...
