Haha. Yeah, no smooth jazz or post black metal here... just trying to get DoO some more exposure, and I do think there could be some overlap between the two fan bases.

Is this Nymphetamine 2.0?

God no. If anything, it's Midian 2.0, with hints of Dusk..., but pushed through the formula established with Hammer of the Witches

Ha ha. Maybe. Here's my thoughts:



Vempire > Cruelty and the Beast (specifically the remastered version) > Hammer of the Witches > Dusk (both versions) > Cryptoriana > The Screaming of the Valkyries > Midian



... all 4's or higher.

Same, by the looks of it I expect it will be!



Agreed about Queen Of Winter Throned too, one of their best tracks.

Very very late but I just checked out Vempire thanks to this thread. Absolutely blown away right now, seriously WTF.



I came to rave about Queen Of Winter, Throned but looks like everyone's already agreeing on that.

Queen Of Winter, Throned is the flawless epic, but "Nocturnal Supremacy" is CoF's "Battery"... the heaviest most aggressive song they've ever done, IMO.

Damn, White Hellebore is a banger. Stoked to hear this whole thing. Dani somehow sounds better than ever, and female operatic vocals sound phenomenal, the mix really lets the riffing shine. Hope the rest doesn't let me down.

Also idk if I agree that Nocturnal Supremacy is the heaviest song they've ever done but its definitely one of them. The Original Sin version of that song rules too.
