The Principle of Evil Made Flesh

Cradle of Filth

Moments Worth Listening For

The transition from the haunting organ of the intro into the explosive blast beats of the title track.

The eerie spoken word passages in The Forest Whispers My Name that sound like a ghost in the room.

The way the keyboards swell into a grand, mournful melody during the bridge of Summer Dying Fast.
