Overall the title to me is abit silly. I thought the same of DDVA as well...anyone else agree?

Yeah, the title is silly. If it was simply called "Manticore" it'd be cool, but the "And Other Horrors" bit is kinda of lame. I like the concept of the cover art, but am unsure of the execution.

As for the music, I'm excited to hear it, considering what their producer said about it. Hopefully, it really does sound like Entombed, old Cradle and Candlemass combined!

Since the Manticore is a fictional beast and a pretty horrible one at that! The Manticore and other Horrors is a pretty good title :)

Looks like an old middle eastern concept album to me.

I believe "Other Horrors" is referring to the other tracks other than Manticore. Could of been called "Horror of the Manticore" but then it would kind of be concept-like which is not what the album is. I guess it's just another obvious change in how Dani has been influenced over the years. I guess it's almost as cheesy as "Vempire or Dark Faerytales in Phallustein". So I we probably are just over-looking the title.lol

If I were to name the album it would be: "Eleven Deadly Whorrors" haha

I'm doing my reviews now on Cradle's entire discography in prep for the new album, I just uploaded Principles' review. I finally wrote stuff down first because I get scatter-brained and start saying "uh" and "um" alot...lol
