To inaugurate the creation of their new label who bears the sweet name of "Abracadaver", our five aristo-vampires are releasing a new album only 7 months after the release of Midian. Well, not all 10 tracks are new on the CD, but even so there are no less than 7 news songs in this Bitter Suites To Succubi. The 3 remaining songs being respectively completely re-recorded versions of Summer Dying Fast and The Principle Of Evil Made Flesh and the last one being a cover song of Sisters Of Mercy (No Time To Cry).
The new songs are all excellent, even though they are a bit inferior than the songs on Midian, especially as far as arrangements are concerned. But All Hope In Eclipse, to chose only one is simply amazing and demonstrate once more that quality "made in Cradle" is once again at the rendezvous in Bitter Suits To Succubi.
The artcover is like always excellent, hard worked details with monstrous shapes and errant ghosts then and there inside a never-ending burning background. An excellent release that perfectly succeed in his job to make us wait until the next one.
