I went and bout this cd and a few previous releases. I think this is a good reason why napster should keep gooing, but that is a differnt discussion. Punk it it's attitude. They are not your momma's black sabbath, but they are not you momma's goth band either. I mean even compared to other death metal bands they are far more melodic and punkish.
Punk beats galor in previous albums.
Give COF a try. Cruelty and the Beast is also one of my favorites. This is some heavy stuff, what i like about this cd is that it is so gothic, and it sounds great. They use a classical style with the mystery and curisoty of death. They deliver a musical performance that pulls you in, pumps you full of musical genius then spits you back out, leaving you with the feeling of what the hell was that.
