''Nymphetamine'' is the sixth studio album by English extreme metal band Cradle of Filth. It was released on 28 September 2004 through Roadrunner Records. ''Nymphetamine'' marks the first recorded appearance of guitarist James McIlroy (as "Germs Warfare") on a Cradle of Filth album. He would later record guitar for the band's 2010 release ''Darkly, Darkly, Venus Aversa''. ''Nymphetamine'' is also the band's final album to feature keyboardist Martin Powell. == Overview == The title is a portmanteau of "nymphette" and "amphetamine", and Dani Filth explained it as referring to "a drug-like addiction to the woman in question, with her insidious vampire qualities literally bringing her lover back from the brink of the spiritual grave, only to bury him further on the strength of a whim. This is very Edgar Allan Poe in style, and leaves one thinking that, despite the character's inner agonies, he is really a welcome submissive who readily enjoys the terrible highs and lows of his relationship with this alluring and filthy succubus."〔 The album features guest appearances by ex-Theatre of Tragedy and current Leaves' Eyes vocalist, Liv Kristine, and Doug Bradley, who starred as the cenobite Pinhead in the ''Hellraiser'' series and also collaborated on ''Midian''. "Mother of Abominations" begins with the chant of the phrase "Ia! Ia! Cthulhu fhtagn!", which is a reference to H. P. Lovecraft's fiction, specifically the body of work encompassing the Cthulhu Mythos. The title track appears on the album twice; in a three-part, nine-minute version ("Nymphetamine (Overdose)") and again in a shortened five-minute version ("Nymphetamine Fix"). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nymphetamine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
