When i first purchased this album, i had rathe rlow expectations. Witness the Millenium was ok, but not as good as this bands previous albums. So i didnt think this album was gonna be all to good. But i was very wrong. This is easily the bands best album since Kiss the Goat, if not even better then that one. The band has found a perfect formation of their former sound and thier new metal sound. If your a long time fan of thiers, then this album should appeal to you. If your just a big metal head then this album will really be a hit on you. Either way, it is an outstanding piece of music which shows the bands has a great ability to progress thier new sound into very dark places. Keep em coming guys.

Electronomicon is a great cyber-metal CD. A few years ago The Electric Hellfire Club announced that they wished to change their sound, and didn't want to be pigeon-holed in the goth/industrial category. They have moved guitars completely to the front of their music. The CD begins with a few hard core tacks that remind me of that great late-80's thrash like Slayer, Exodus, or Nuclear Assault. Slowly, the keyboards enter into the mix adding a nice future/cyber ambiance. Kind of reminds me of "Iron Helix" by Xorcist.

This CD is really good. Once you dig into the tracks there is a lot there, a highpoint definitely being Tannhauser Gate. They are creating their dark satan music, but never taking themselves too seriously (as is evident by "I Dream of Demons" and "Wired in Blood"). I give it only 4 stars, because listening to it, I know this CD will have to grow on me. "Kiss the Goat" and "Burn, Baby, Burn" on the other hand, both grabbed me right away.

For new fans, I'd say if you're more of a metal head, go ahead and get "Electronomicon". If you're more of a goth/rivit head, I'd start out with one of the older CD's that I mentioned above. For older EHC fans, if you really liked "The Witness the Millennium", you will probably like "Electronomicon".

As an EHC collector and Fan, i jumped to get this album and the sound is amazing. Beautiful use of samples. The songs that will definately get your heart racing are Hypochristian, Whores of Babylon, Broken Goetia, and This Is The Zodiac. But don't leave it at that. the whole CD is an amazing and is a must own

It took a few listens for me to get into this one. I guess I'm still sentimentally tied to the sound of 'Burn Baby Burn'. I need to get over it, since this band tries something a little different on each album. On its' own terms, this is one scary little record. Try listening to it in the dark. Demonic robo-metal.

I just got done listening to this cd and I was somewhat disappointed, but it's still good. I think I prefer Witness the Millenium to this, though the sound is slightly different. If you like new Electric Hellfire Club you'll like this. If you like Rob Zombie/White Zombie you might like this, but they're more serious. They retain a sense of humor so it's never genuinely disturbing. The production is crystal clear. The cover artwork is very nice. I think they try and push the listener's limits through the inversion of societal values which hasn't made them too popular in a mainstream sense; they're an outrageous, rad cult favorite. They've toured with some pretty big bands, to mixed responses. I look forward to seeing them on tour for this album. They're black metal in attitude. Hail Satan. Hail Hellfire.

a brilliant new cd by those innovative Masters of evil, The Electric Hellfire Club. Lead by the visionary master of dark arts himself, Sir Thomas Thorn, Magician, Magus, Poet-Warrior-Priest, the band is heavier than ever, with the best production yet. Even though its heavier and slicker, it still has the classic Hellfire sound, the diabolical vocals, the orchestral keys, rippin', thundering guitars, and as always, an extremely healthy dose of inspirational anti-christian rants. I believe that this is probably Cleopatras finest release to date, although I think that the other releases by EHC would follow close. ELECTRONOMICON is an electro/black metal/epic masterpiece.

EHC originally had a very unique INSPIRED sound. They have devolved and lost their inspiration. Steer clear of the new stuff. Thomas Thorn is simply trying to make EHC an acceptable metal band after years of painful rejection. A few wrong turns have taken them off the left-hand path completely, physically, creatively, mentally. Artistic conformity is an ugly bird with few feathers. Come on guys..... you could have found a better middle ground between the psychedelic-disco-grind sound that made you vibrant and the metal sound that could've got you more loyal evil followers. oh well, the masterminds are out to lunch. atleast we have Burn Baby Burn and Kiss the Goat to look back on, listen to, and wonder what happened to that progressive satanic vision, and what could have been....... good recipe's are hard to come by and bad cook's have crappy taste buds.

Stop wasting your time reading my lame review and buy this CD! I'm serious! It's a killer metal album by these satanic industrial bizaaro's who keep refreshing their sound and maintaing some of the best songwriting in music today. Great lyrics, great metal, great album...get with it allready. >:)

A Hellish tour de force and a Satanic masterpiece from this incredible band. They have come back with a different sound yet they still rock-shock the pillars of heaven, and send the angelic crying for their mommies. Revel in the flames and play with the volume and your horns turned up in proud defiance.
