Midnight in the Labyrinth

Cradle of Filth

A cinematic, orchestral reimagining of early black metal classics. Stripped of guitars and drums, these tracks become haunting Victorian horror scores.

April 21, 2012 · Peaceville

A grand, theatrical mourning that feels both ancient and deeply cinematic.

Moments Worth Listening For
The transition of the aggressive 'Funeral in Carpathia' into a weeping, string-led lament.
The thirteen-minute epic 'Goetia' where the narration feels like an actual incantation.
The way the choral swells replace the blast beats in 'The Forest Whispers My Name'.
