Cradle of Filth: The Screaming of the Valkyries Review

Review of Cradle of Filth’s newest album, “The Screaming of the Valkyries,” offering a mixed assessment. The reviewer notes that while the album showcases strong musicianship and production, it seemingly lacks a clear artistic direction or unifying theme, referencing past works extensively. Some tracks are praised for their melodic guitar work and atmosphere, while others are criticized for flat vocal performances and uninspired songwriting. Ultimately, the reviewer finds the album listenable due to its concise songwriting and catchy elements, but expresses a desire for the band to move beyond revisiting past glories in future releases.
