Sarah Jezebel Deva - A Sign Of Sublime

Rating: 7

The clues are all there. A solo album from Cradle Of Filth's backing singer featuring ex-Cradle men Martin Powell and Dave Pybus. Guess what it's gonna sound like, eh? And you'd only be half right. Yes, 'A Sign Of Sublime' features its fair share of orchestral flourishes, blazing guitars and dynamic time changes, but though it may share many of the 'Filth’s ambitious musical tropes, admirably it surpasses them with its expansive, theatrical splendour. What could have been an easy way for SJD to rest on her laurels is actually the sound of an artist seeking to expand her horizons.
