As satanic as anything need be, Cradle of Filth are a black metal ensemble from Suffolk, England, who've managed to keep it extreme, while being wildly popular internationally. They may be the most popular black metal band in the world because they've managed to break away from the genre's relatively small cult following and successfully infect all sorts of disaffected teenagers, especially in Europe. They never veer drastically from the usual black metal staples: movie monster-type vocals, lots of high-pitched screams, indecipherable lyrics, and relentless, punishing riffs. But Midian has its fair share of melody too. (Most of the finest metal does have some element of melody.) The album begins with a chorus of what sounds like some evil monks chanting and is at its very best when the ominous, classical-style keyboards kick in. ~ Adam Bregman

The album is at its very best when the ominous, classical-style keyboards kick in. But most of the record is intense screaming and flailing guitar, and it gets to be grating halfway through. The first half of Midian is as symphonic and satanic-sounding as any black metal before it, but the second half is all filler and no bite. Cradle of Filth, like a lot of black metal bands, seems to have never heard of a chorus or a verse. Perhaps pure evil doesn't need hooks to sell itself. But as Midian gets messier and goes on interminably, even their young satanic fans will want to turn it off in favor of torturing the family cat. ~ Adam BregmanKerrang (Magazine) (p.52) - "More strongly melodic than ever before but still nasty..."

 Lacked a little
I know that everyone says that this is a CoF masterpiece, however, I still prefer Nymphetamine. Simply because some of the songs lacked alot. Namely, Tearing The Veil From Grace, Amor E Morte and Lord Abortion (I know people say its the best song here, but I don't like it). However, some songs are actually great. "At The Gates Of Midian" is a great intro. Much better than "Sin Deep My Wicked Angel" or "Satyriasis". "Cthulu Dawn" is the best song. Female vocals leave an awesome impact to the fast-paced beat and Dani's screeching. I can easily say that it's worth the album price. "Her Ghost In The Fog" shows what a romantic softy Dani really is, lol. It's also a great track. Anyway, I still wouldn't call the album a masterpiece like everyone says. Nymphetamine is a better album. Standouts are "At The Gates Of Midian", "Cthulu Dawn", "Death Magick For Adepts" and "Her Ghost In The Fog". 7.5/10

By far their best album to date...this is the album that got me into this kind of music...this is the album that stands out for me personally as the most definitive black metal album in the world.

Out of all their albums, before and after Midian, I still can't get over the sheer talent Cradle of Filth put forth in effort to make this album stand out. I love every single album Cradle did, but this one by far is my favorite. Tracks like Cthulhu Dawn, Lord Abortion, Amor E Morte and Tortured Soul Asylum make the hairs stand up on my neck because they're so good. This band is truely gifted in every musical talent possible. But this album if you want true symphonic black metal.

| | Cradle Of Filth Principle Of Evil Made Flesh CD (1994) (Import) England; United Kingdom
Midian
$21.45 
PRINCIPLE OF EVIL MADE FLESH is the 1994 debut from the influential British heavy metal act Cradle of Filth. "Iscariot," "One Final Graven Kiss," and "Of Mist and Midnight Skie" are here among others.
Cradle of Filth is most notorious for bringing respectability to the Norwegian black metal template, the band threatening to actually make the genre enjoyable, thanks to acceptable production values and an admirable songwriting ethic mostly absent among the early reptilian belchings croaked forth from dank Norse basements -- and Cradle is British to boot. Utilizing flowery classical flourishes, tangible melodies, nimble death/thrash riffing, a coherent -- albeit crushing -- rhythmic battery, and the deranged, multifaceted caterwaul of vocalist Dani Davey, The Principle of Evil Made Flesh brought a musical sensibility to the black metal table that was absent in early genre releases by Emperor, Enslaved, and Mayhem. Boasting a blatant goth ...

| | Cradle Of Filth Dusk And Her Embrace CD (1997)
Midian
$14.49 
DUSK AND HER EMBRACE, Cradle of Filth's third release (and first domestically available title), was a shock to the metal system when it was released in 1996. Arguably the British sextet's best produced album, DUSK is a fright-fest, from Dani Filth's unearthly, high-pitched vocalizations to the ferocious, flash-of-the-blade, orchestrated time changes. With production duties handled by the ever-capable Kit Woolven (Thin Lizzy, Anathema, Cathedral), the band nimbly blurs the line between black metal and death metal, all with an ambient twist. Featuring a guest vocal performance by Venom frontman Cronos, DUSK is a benchmark release in the band's hyper-creative career.
Cradle of Filth may be one of the only recognizable underground metal acts to an average person. Although mom and dad might not know who they are, the band enjoyed a streak of notoriety through the late '90s into the turn of the century that would be hard for a music fan to miss. Their theatrical approach to the black metal genre was nothing new, but they turned it up a notch by cutting out much of the humor and bad special effects that groups like Mercyful Fate depended on and replaced them with a creepier, nastier stage ...

A 1998 concept album based on the bloody legend of the murderous Hungarian countess Elizabeth Bathory, CRUELTY AND THE BEAST finds the English black-metal act Cradle of Filth indulging in a Wagnerian symphonic sound. While some of CRUELTY's tracks stick to a more straightforward metal aesthetic (see the demonic, driving "Cruelty Brought Thee Orchids"), "Desire in Violent Overture" and the sweeping "Bathory Aria" embody frontman Dani Filth's vision of a more grandiose depiction of narrative horror. Subsequent outings would see the goth-leaning ensemble reaching a wider audience, but BEAST stands out as one of Cradle of Filth's most ambitious ...
| | Cradle Of Filth Damnation And A Day CD (2003)
Midian
$11.05
Ninth studio album & first for Sony Music. 17 tracks of furious black metal. 2003.
Cradle Of Filth: Dani Filth (vocals); Martin Powell (guitar, keyboards); Paul Allender (guitar); Dave Pybus (bass); Adrian Erlandsson (drums).
Additional personnel: Sarah Jezebel Diva (vocals); Dave McEwen (spoken vocals); The Budapest Film Orchestra And Choir.
What if a black metal band with a penchant for performance art and symphony-sized stage shows got a major label to back up and fund its perverted vision of apocalypse? The result would be something like Damnation and a Day, a metal album that features a 40-piece orchestra and 32-piece choir, but is still definitely extreme-sounding and can in no way be viewed as a sellout. Cradle of Filth was called a sellout long before they hooked up with Sony. Hardcore black metalers thought their stage show was too cartoony and Alice Cooper-like. That's true in a way -- the band's delivery of dark music comes filtered through a show that's more Cirque du Soleil ...

| | Jack Bruce Harmony Row CD (1971) (Import) Bonus Tracks; Remastered; Germany
Midian
$14.45
Jack's third solo album from 1971 featuring stella performances from Chris Spedding, John Marshall and Pete Brown. Includes five previously unreleased tracks.
Personnel includes: Jack Bruce, Chris Spedding.
HARMONY ROW is the 1971 reissue of bassist Jack Bruce's third solo recording, featuring "Can You Follow?" and "Folk Song," and includes performances by guitarist Chris Spedding.
CD contains 5 bonus tracks.
Harmony Row is the legitimate follow-up to Jack Bruce'excellent songs for a tailor, although 1971 also saw the almost-simultaneous release of 1968 jazz tapes entitled Things We Like by this artist. An elaborate gatefold package has a shadow photo of the artist from the back, overlooking a golden sun on the waters. The self-produced disc begins with the pop excursion "Can You Follow," which blends into "Escape To The Royal Wood (On Ice)." Jack Bruce provides the voice, keyboards, bass, and some percussion, making this very much a solo project. "You Burned The Tables On Me" takes things into a progressive rock-meets-jazz arena. The only reference to blues here is Bruce's voice, but guitarist Chris Spedding's scratchy guitar, and the percussion -- either by Jack Bruce or drummer Jim Marshall (who plays on what is not specified) make the track sound almost like Cream without Clapton. There's a rare photo of Peter Brown in the second cardboard gatefold, and one of Bruce, while all of Brown's lyrics are spread out for public consumption. A nice touch, as Peter Brown is to Jack Bruce what Keith Reid is to Procul Harum, and the cleverly obscured words are sometimes the only foundation to grasp at while one of rock & roll's most innovative bassists goes from genre to genre, combining rhythms and melodies that defy commercial categorization. Harmony Row is the album that combines many flavors of Bruce's experimentations, making it courageous, adventurous, and hardly the product for a mass audience. "Folk Song" is barely a folk song; it is a progressive pop tune with that elegant, Procul Harum-like, sweeping, mystical statement. There's a pretty piano against church-like organ and vocals, with amazing guitar embellishments by Chris Spedding. "Folk Song" has elements Bruce would examine again, on the album Monkjack; it's a song which should have made him the darling of underground FM radio. It's a far cry from ...
