And what comes to mind for "The Great and Secret Show" really across the board positive. Devilment bring real heavy, rifflastigen, I would say dark metal on the plan that has been washed for a down to the front man quite unknown band to every trick. The music is extremely sharp, uncompromising and far less extravagant than you know it from the men's Cradle of Filth. Where it could be just this precision which should also like one or the other vampire friend. Nevertheless, devilment reflects something else. This panel pops. From top to bottom. Even if one or the other in a quiet, discreet orchestral, even oriental appeal penetrates, so the plate is absolutely Heavy and has plenty of straightness. The instrumental group thus knows itself absolutely straight to shoot through the groove.
For Dani's vocals:
For the first time what has Dani to offer again dirty, rough and "beastly". He rarely makes use of his right to get used to high scream and precisely by the good you can finally take serious again. So you want it. He manages with devilment effortless to use his entire vocal spectrum without being too often drift into exaggerated or overly ambitious. He does what he can, in healthy measure. Alongside Dani accompanied now and then by a female voice.
Conclusion: devilment are an absolutely exciting new band with some potential. "The Great and Secret Show" in any case is a very successful first sign of life. Hart, a large area uncompromising, catchy, subtly playful, but above all honest. Thus, I think, not only Cradle fans are on this format have their joy.
