United Kingdom's Cradle Of Filth have returned with a live recording which displays their gothic and symphonic style of black metal from stage performances and this is a review of their live 2023 double album "Trouble And Their Double Lives" which was released by Napalm Records.
Keyboards start off the album and also introduces symphonic elements into the music which also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are done in a very melodic style while the vocals are mostly black metal screams and the faster sections of the recording also add in a lot of blast b eats.
Tremolo picking can also be heard in the faster riffing while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. A great portion of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with the riffs also adding in a lot of melody and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to t hem.
Spoken word parts can also be heard on some of the tracks along with the operatic female vocals also giving the songs more of a gothic metal touch when they utilized. Live audience reaction can also be heard at times as well as some clear male vocals also being used briefly, orchestration is also added into certain sections of the recording. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Occultism, Vampirism, Horror, Mythology, Erotica, Dark Romance and Historical themes.
In my opinion this is a very great sounding collection from Cradle Of Filth and if you are a fan of this band, you should enjoy this live album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Heaven Torn Asunder" "Blackest Magick In Practice" "Demon Prince Regent" and "Haunted Shores". 8 out of 10.
