The Principle of Evil Made Flesh (1994) |
V Empire (or Dark Faerytales in Phallustein) (1996) |
The Principle of Evil Made Flesh is Cradle of Filth's first album. It is the most primitive-sounding of all their albums, though the production is slightly more refined than their demos. Dani Filth's vocals here little resemble his now well-established style.
The album is filled with barrages of guitars, drums and keyboards, and has more melodic instrumental tracks than the band's other albums (although Cruelty and the Beast and Damnation and a Day come close). This album is much closer to black metal than any of Cradle's later works, and includes early lyrical examples of the vampirism themes which the band would further develop: particularly on Dusk and Her Embrace. Satanic and anti-religious lyrics are also more in evidence here than subsequently.
Additional vocals on "A Dream of Wolves in the Snow" are performed by Darren White.
Tracks from this album were re-recorded on V Empire (or Dark Faerytales in Phallustein) and Bitter Suites to Succubi.
