I love Cradle of Filth and Sarah’s contribution to their sound. However, if you’re expecting to hear the same Sarah Deva on this album as the one you’re used to hearing with CoF, you’re going to be surprised. Being the frontwoman instead of hired help permits her to shine in ways that she never could with Cradle. This album forgos the frenetic stylings of Cradle in favor of the more relaxing styles of Within Temptation and Leaves’ Eyes. Musically and technically this album was very well thought out and executed from start to finish.

This album was probably the best investment in music I’ve made this year.
