When the most precious of Lucifers own harlots escapes Hell, and all the demons fail to hunt her down. The Lord of Darkness, well, he becomes mad! Very mad! Crestfallen tells that very story and does so over midtempo and strange eerie riffs as well as great melodies. Even though this song is far from the opening track, it is sort of the opening track considering the new English aspects of ElviraMadigan. This very heavy (and sometimes fast) track is extremely versetile with many abrupt interludes and breaks but somehow manages to keep the pace. Being one of the songs written and recorded while five or six songs already were finished for the CD, what really felt extraordainly was its' prominent vocals which together with the basic riffings make out the backbone and rythm of the song.
It is quite hard to find one specific song that stands out more than the others on the CD. If one thinks of "BlackArts" it is a little bit easier since "Svartnatt" perhaps stuck out her nose. "Crestfallen" is certainly one of my absolute favourites on the "Witches" album, but then again... it's hard to crown one track before the others.
