Cradle of Filth is: Dani Filth – Vocals, Paul Allender – Guitar, Robin Graves – Bass, Martin – Keyboards, Gian – Guitar, Adrian – Drums European Black Metal band, "Cradle of Filth", is one of the premiere bands of this genre. The album “Midian” is a truly dark, masterpiece. Known for their haunting melodies and ultra-heavy rythms Cradle of Filth innovates the genre in using almost classical influences on keyboards and even operatic backup vocals. With their complex arrangement, incredible vocals and intense and disturbing imagery, “Midian” is one of their best albums. Tracks such as “Cthulhu Dawn”, Amor E Morte”, “Creatures That Kissed in Cold Mirrors” and “Her Ghost in the Fog” are among the finest. Most of their songs draw inspiration ranging from literature, cinema and the occult. One inspiration stands out in the song “Cthulhu Dawn’ where the band makes a reference to the infamous Cthulhu, the monster-god created by author of the weird H.P. Lovecraft. The album name is inspired by the city of mutants and monsters from Clive Barker’s novel “Cabal”. Coincidentally “Midian” also pays homage to Clive Barker in utilizing Doug Bradley, the Cenobite, Pinhead himself (Hellraiser) on a vocal during the introduction of the song “Her Ghost in the Fog”: “The moon, she hangs like a cruel portrait soft winds whisper the bidding of trees as the tragedy starts with a shattered glass heart and the Midnightmare trampling on dreams…” I also recommend: Dimmu Borgir, Morbid Angel, and King DiamondRead full review

I'm talking about real music and real taste, i strongly reccomend buy this album right away cuz it will blow your mind!! The bottom line is...... this album will kick your major *** :)!!
This is one of Dani Filth's best albums. The guitars, drums, and keyboards all sound like they should with the keys not taking too much of a lead, but spearheaded enough to get Cradle's trademark sound. Dani's vocals were also in peak shape at this point in his career and I think they never got better. The drums are played excellently and fit in well behind the keyboard and the riffs. Notable Tracks: Cthulu Dawn Lord Abortion Torture Soul Asylum - The best track on the album
One of Cradle's finest. Simply top notch songwriting and production. Smart lyrics, scathing delivery by Dani Filth, and crushing instrumental work. This is quintessential Cradle of Filth. There aren't many CoF fans that don't know "Her Ghost In the Fog", but for those just starting the journey - This is probably the best possible starting point.
