"Cradle of Filth's only remaining original member from 1991 is vocalist and songwriter Dani Filth. Before the release of 2015's Hammer of the Witches, this group had essentially become a revolving-door entity personnel-wise and could easily have been renamed "Dani & the Filths." This lineup has been consistent since 2015, though, and it shows on Cryptoriana: The Seductiveness of Decay ... a welcome step further ahead from Hammer of the Witches in its force and economy, and even with its missteps it's a stronger album for it".
