Style: relentless expressive orchestral black metal
following the UK premiere orchestral black metal band's female-adoring tradition, title of sixth full-length [2004] means a ravenous addiction to hauntingly beautiful women; heavily influenced by thrash and even classic British heavy metal, this longplay punches the wall with fluid guitar lines and simplified arrangements in order to capture the ferocity of their legendary live shows; guitars are turned up the notch, delivering wave after wave of brutal yet harmonious riffs, anchored in the band's early influences; special double digipak edition comes with an updated design and seven bonuses, including cover versions of Bathory, Ozzy Osbourne and Cliff Richard, with guest vocal appearance by Liv Kristine [Leaves Eyes] and King Diamond, US import
