Cradle of Filth's first
album, The Principle of Evil Made Flesh, is an
excellent album and brought them some notoriety on
the Black Metal scene. Many of the tracks are 'raw'
Black Metal songs, a must for true Cradle of Filth
fans. However, this album is scarcely suitable as
an introduction to the band.

Vempire or Dark Faerytales
in Phallustein is a good second album. The band's
coordination and skill has improved much, and the
quality of the music reflects this. There is also a
noted change of style, something more in the
direction of Dusk....and Her Embrace.

Dusk...and Her Embrace was
my introductory album to Cradle of Filth, and it
will always be my favorite. There is not a single
mediocre track on the entire album. The music is
heavier than on their earlier albums, the rhythm
slower. On this album they really capture the
theme, Vampires, and the music is more like Gothic
Metal than Black Metal with a twist.

Cradle of Filth's most
recent album, Cruelty And The Beast, shows clearly
how the band is steadily improving. The theme of
this album is Elizabeth Bathory, a Hungarian
Countess who bathed in the blood of virgins. The
music remains excellent, although the drummer,
Nicholas, fails to perform as well as could be
expected. This album is great, but somehow it lacks
something the earlier albums had, a certain
'rawness'. The music can hardly be classified as
Black Metal anymore.
