Here is a promo CD of this band that most of you know really well. This CD has some interesting things like some of the band´s hits ("From the Cradle to Enslave" and "Malice Through the Looking Glass" just to name a few of them) that have a great sound and interesting arrangements (keyboards and female vocals are the most significative ones) which are the trademarks of the band. Also here we have really good covers where I would like to remark the great versions of Slayer´s "Hell Awaits" and Iron Maiden´s "Hallowed be thy Name". The sound through all this recording is really good (obviously the newer tracks sound much better than the older ones but that is natural of a band´s progression). This CD is a good sampler of the balance that Cradle of Filth has achieved between heaviness and melodies; between savage riffs and dark atmospheres. A classic band !

Favorite tracks: "For Those Who Died"; "Her Ghost in the Fog" and "Once Upon Atrocity"
