Post Description

The Principle of Evil Made Flesh is the debut album by English extreme metal band Cradle of Filth. 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 bear little resemblance to his now well-established style, mostly deeper growls with only a few moments of the higher shrieking style per song.
The album is filled with barrages of guitars and drums, with more scant keyboard lines than on future albums, and, along with Damnation and a Day, has more melodic instrumental tracks than the band's other albums. 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, more in a praising aspect versus symbolically on later albums.
Additional vocals on "A Dream of Wolves in the Snow" are performed by Darren White.
Tracks from this album were re-recorded on Vempire or Dark Faerytales in Phallustein and Bitter Suites to Succubi.
