I swear... These guys are fucking unbelievable. The content and structure of each song is so deep, immersive and just perfect, quite literally each song feel like a journey.. just one cradle of filth song can rival the overall content of an entire album from many other musical acts out there... This band is fucking monumental. It's rare that I can listen to one song and get such a range of emotion and excitement. When you examine the lyrics, and learn to follow how everything comes out, it's so rewarding and can leave you breathless by the end of the song.. Dani- the man is fucking incredible and deserves respect for doing this for nearly 30 years now.
Hi Shogo.. absolutely agree with these comments brother . I’ve recently just delved more into them .. and wished I had of done earlier .. your comments are Exactly what I’ve experienced.. in most tracks you can hear the many subtle music influences worked in by Dani and the crew .. I’m working my way back from the latest masterpiece “ existence is futile “ Shame Richard Shaw left They had a killer band from 2015 onwards - hammer if the witches onwards Like Thornography and Nymphetamine also , thus far .. It’s amazing how they manage to work so many tempo changes and different arrangements 🤘🏼
I'm always amazed how in the F does Dani remember all the lyrics. For example, Bathory aria has more text in it than entire Beyonce discography and all the books she read in her life 🤣
@@Helio-Marques It's up there for me. My top 5 are probably: Thirteen Autumns and a Widow A Gothic Romance Malice Through the Looking Glass The Rape & Ruin of Angels Beneath the Howling Stars or Queen of Winter Throned
@@Helio-Marques I thought I was the only one that felt that way listening to COF.. I literally tear up because I feel it so deeply.. Because it is so perfectly beautiful.. I'm am right there with you dude..
Bathory Aria is gonna be even more epic than it already is. Finally some actual bass in Nick Barkers bass drums. This cd is never gonna leave my cd player.
@@benkic It doesn't and I never suggested that. You said it was remastered, I just mentioned it's been remixed as well. Joey Perez thought it was a rerecording.
The rawness from the original will always have a place in my heart, but it’s so nice to finally hear the cymbals in the drumming! And the double bass not being overly saturated is a nice touch! Really well done! Excited to own this on vinyl!
Dont be stupid. Nick is considered one of the beat percussionist in this genre and metal alike. He holds very very solid and tight rhythms. There is no mistaking his talent. This new drummer cradle has is real good, but lets not get retarded about it. Nick is really fuckin good. If anything Nick was mot happy with how weak the drums where in the original recording. His disapproval is what started his beef with cradle.
this album brings me great memories of my black metal adolescence when I saw them in 97 play this great album forever in my heart cruelty and the beast, prince of evil, dusk an her embrace
Yeah when it came out, and I sprinted to Utopia to buy it, though totally fell in love with it, I did however notice that the drums sounded a little weak compared to Dusk. Bass drums sounded abit too clicky. Tremendously minor issue as it did not take away from what an absolute master piece it is. Cruelty Brought Thee Orchards!! Whoo!!
@I Am Me I couldn't agree more! Barker's work is jaw dropping I can't understand why they don't tried with another producer or why they decided to keep it that way...it's a mystery to me.. 😨
this was the first ever song I heard from COF as a 14 year old back then and I immediately fell in love for life.. this album and this remaster is bloody incredible..
@@DrBell-sl5et they didn't re-write anything, that's a re-master of the original recording. It's the closest thing to the OG Dusk you'll hear outside of bootlegs.
@I Am Me You and @malkabeth said it before I could, and I agree, the last two albums are way more like the band that blew my doors off in 1998. I lost interest in them after "Midian" and after ages of ignoring them, I gave "Cryptoriana" a listen a couple months back and was floored. That one and "Hammer of the Witches" both are excellent releases, and it's nice to hear that Dani finally has a lineup together that is firing on all cylinders and all contributing equally. Not to mention, Lindsay Schoolcraft's vocals and narration are the best girly vocals they've ever had, IMO. Welcome back, Cradle, it's been too long!
Just pre ordered this on Century Media records. Can't wait to hear this in it's entirety. Been listening to lots of new bands and drifted away because I didn't care for the new stuff after nymphetamine. I even named my daughter Gabrielle. Haven't listened to these guys lately. Forgot how much I liked their older Material. This brings new life like hearing it for the first time. Well done COF.
È il più potente grido di vendetta verso il cielo che io abbia mai ascoltato. Melodia, dramma, disperazione e sete di vendetta mescolati in un mix lirico impareggiabile e sospinti da una ferocia e pulizia compositiva incredibili. I cradle of filth sono di un' altro pianeta 😮
Wtf.. There has been 20 years of discussion weather the original drumsound makes the album weak or not. I always found the songwriting and atmosphere on this album were easily strong enough to compensate the "special" drumsound for me, so i hadnt any real complain. But.... just 200 seconds into this song and pausing it to compare it to the original release, i have to admit, there might be a chance the original release is dead for me from now on. darn (so many memories!)! still a month to go for the remastered release. looking forward to ...Thee Orchids! Masterpiece \m/
I agree completely, and I heard Sarah's vocals in this song which was never present before. I never expected it to be this good. Orchids is my favourite song.
I disagree. The drums sound like a different guy played them, and the sound is now "normal" modern boring COF. This is basically an insult to me as a big fan of old COF and Barker's work.
@@trevorg9170 That's true, but alot of her work has been drowned out and unheard in the original mix, where as now I hear operatic background by her I've never heard before in the song.
@@milospanic12 this is nick playing the drums still it's just whoever finished the project off before completely messed the sound of them up. Poorly mastered album before.
I'm literally astounded by the crystal clear sound of every instrument, let alone Dani's vocals on every level! The sound team apparently did their (black) magic..Truly well done lads. Your sustainability as a band obviously is not based on luck nor on a longterm trend. Keep up the good hard work.
I bought this album on cassette tape back when it first came out and I literally played it so many times on repeat that the sound quality of the tape degraded noticeably. I then got it on CD.
Not the biggest COF fan in the world, but this was the first song I ever heard by them, on a free Metal Hammer covermount cd. It blew me way then, & now I’m older & wiser, I think it’s a masterpiece....
Thought it was trash when I first heard it on that cd. Then Christmas Eve, a year later it just hit me and I “got it”. The first 3 COF albums are forever in my top 10 greatest albums of all time, and this song in particular.
Wow! It's like a whole other song now! Well done. Normally I cringe a bit when I hear "remastered" as it's almost always worse sounding, but this is how be should be done.
The first album i bought from cof..this album is the one that opened a whole new door to music i never knew existed.. And has been the one album i listened daily.. Never get tired of it.. And to the remaster of this album is amazing..
I was waiting to hear the remixed/remastered songs of "Cruelty And The Beast" album since they first announced via Twitter that they are remixing/remastering them! Excellent job! "Cruelty And The Beast" album is one of my favourite Cradle Of Filth albums, I already have the original version and I will surely get a copy of the remixed/remastered version!
I remember an interview with Dani a long time ago where he said he thought Cruelty was there trashiest album.. I say it's a fucking masterpiece. This is the SOUNDTRACK TO MY HIGHSCHOOL EXPERIENCE!
This video was so incredibly well done. A COF masterpiece. Cannot wait for Beneath the Howling Stars. ‘Cruelty..’ has been in my playlist since ‘98 when I bought the CD. Now it will certainLy never leave.
After a year or so of defaulting to RUclips to help my sanity, I finally have rediscovered Cradle, and feel like god damned Lazarus. Thank you for all that you have done. I should have subbed a long time ago.
Esta canción fue muy bien hecha, creo que Cradle of filth anteriormente estaba en los tops de bandas profundas, sin duda alguna escuchar esta canción me lleva a retroceder 9 años atrás cuando era un hoy, siempre será una de mis canciónes preferidas de la agrupación.
An Archangel in bondage Bediademed, souled With a murder of ravens But no less Astarte to behold Abandoned by Heaven To the dead, dark and past Cast Her dispersions On life's brittle glass And though Her eyes still held fire As stonewalls caged the beast 'Gainst the lassitudes of Death She fought but fell to greet And midst lies in collusion She was martyred to teach That "Divinity and Lust Are forever forbidden to meet" But I swore that they would Before the veil could part our embrace Twixt Her cold, silent hips I kissed And promised Christendom in flames Gravid with madness Like a feculent dirge That obsesses the heart I am covened by words To avenge Her Ebon splendour And surrender My soul to the dead to achieve Prophecies of libidinous scourge Horripilation braying o'er carious herds Vexing nightmares And their weak prayers To a no one there To hinder Her decree To weed the world of their disease As shadows unblind mine eyes to see The meat that is their congregation How they plead to the skies But this is mere foreplay to war Scar-riddled saffron eves bleed like the conjugal Vestal daughters giving throat to the priest A psychophant, the despoiler of faith Now His skinless crucifixion feeds a winged diocese For Her interred I tore a battle banner from His hide Splashed in red goetia Hues of Hell and deicide So came the night Its obsidian light Is a master whom disasters Suck upon like concubines And under black skirts That whisper of delight Darkseeds near fruition Darked deeds to marry mine "In Death's bed I have lain Paying lip-service to shame But for dreaming of thee I regain A reason to seek life again" Then we smite the divine For our true nature is sin To strip tender flesh from these swine Like the lick of carnivorous winds The breath of the storm that begins By forcing its Herod tongue in The womb of the holy virgin To taste of immaculate sin From temptation's peak we will see The world unfurled at last Now the wolves of time who stalk Mankind Shall be as one in grim repast Commemorating sickle moons The pack are poised to reap A scythe of white roses in bloom Whose twisted thorns will keep A crown upon a dead man Daylights crucified in sleep And lives that hide in scriptured lies To the memories of a scream And we shall dance amid the ruin As Adam and Evil Dizzy at the falling stars That burn fiercer in throes of upheaval If all must we damn for this moment Then it shall be so For our souls have crossed oceans of time To clasp one another more tightly Than Death could alone... As Zyklon beats reign to make carrion crawl The talons of lust rake a clarion call To the lick of carnivorous winds The lick of carnivorous winds Gravid with madness Like a feculent dirge That obsesses the heart I am covened by words To avenge Her Ebon splendour And surrender My soul to the dead to achieve Prophecies of libidinous scourge Horripilation braying o'er carious herds Vexing nightmares And their weak prayers To a no one there To hinder Her decree To weed the world of their disease As shadows unblind mine eyes to see The meat that is their congregation Let's canting well go again With the beat from Armageddon...
Lol, I just noticed that the song is titled "Lustmord And Wargasm - The Lick of Carbivorous Winds" on spotify. Now, I don't know if these winds are consuming a lot of carbs to supplement all the protein they're getting from the meat, but I know that you should probably go to your spotify profile and fix that title.
My biggest problem with the original album has been the extremely week sound of the drums, but the overall producation is horrible. This new one finally does the song justice! And I can't fucking wait to hear Thirteen Autumns and a Widow!
Having goosebumps just listening to this remastered version... I already placed my pre-order. Forevermore, "Cruelty and The Beast" will always be one of my favorites by COF.

Hi Shogo.. absolutely agree with these comments brother .
I’ve recently just delved more into them .. and wished I had of done earlier ..
your comments are Exactly what I’ve experienced.. in most tracks you can hear the many subtle music influences worked in by Dani and the crew .. I’m working my way back from the latest masterpiece “ existence is futile “
Shame Richard Shaw left
They had a killer band from 2015 onwards - hammer if the witches onwards
Like Thornography and Nymphetamine also , thus far ..
It’s amazing how they manage to work so many tempo changes and different arrangements 🤘🏼
I'm always amazed how in the F does Dani remember all the lyrics. For example, Bathory aria has more text in it than entire Beyonce discography and all the books she read in her life 🤣
😊😊
Cradle of Filth is the only band that make me feel like im watching an entire horror movie with every song.
well for sure! Especially from this album, it was masterfully told narrative.
then look the movie CRADLE OF FEAR
they are MORE than just music. It seems to be a thing with Symphonic Metal
A masterpiece. If vampires made music it would be old Cradle
❤\m/ 2025 and beyond
Thirteen Autumns and a Widow is gonna sound amaaaazing.
That's actually my fave CoF song ever (and I did cry like a baby today, listening to Lustmord and Wargasm). Chills are all over my fucking body.
@@Helio-Marques It's up there for me. My top 5 are probably:
Thirteen Autumns and a Widow
A Gothic Romance
Malice Through the Looking Glass
The Rape & Ruin of Angels
Beneath the Howling Stars or Queen of Winter Throned
I really hope so, its my favorite song ever.
@@Helio-Marques I thought I was the only one that felt that way listening to COF.. I literally tear up because I feel it so deeply.. Because it is so perfectly beautiful.. I'm am right there with you dude..
5:30 The best fucking part.. Goosebumps every time
Bathory Aria is gonna be even more epic than it already is. Finally some actual bass in Nick Barkers bass drums. This cd is never gonna leave my cd player.
Wil always love the rawness of the Cruelty album but boy do this clean remastering is such a delight in the ears.
I can't wait to hear *Beneath The Howling Stars* !!
Michael Michaels I don’t think he’s gonna be able to hit that last scream lol. Beneath the howling STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHSSSSS
@@joeyperez6584 It's a remastered version, they only fixed the org. audio. They didn't re-record it.
it's a remixed and remastered version.
@@gallopinggargoyles7891 Again, how does "remixed" imply that vocals were re-recorded? This is just processing of org. audio that was recorded in 98.

Excited to own this on vinyl!
im in love with those artistic lyrics. I can read the lyrics of the album like a poem without music, but then you add the music and it blows my mind.
And Nicholas Barker has been vindicated! This sounds incredible!
Was thinking the same thing..
Finally a more "realistic " drum sound to show Nick's talent. Nothing like the plastic box sound back in the 90's
@@domleduc3398 Not all 90's. You mean cruelty and the beast. And this sounds slightly better, yes.
its triggered with new sounds
Dont be stupid. Nick is considered one of the beat percussionist in this genre and metal alike. He holds very very solid and tight rhythms. There is no mistaking his talent.

this album brings me great memories of my black metal adolescence when I saw them in 97 play this great album forever in my heart cruelty and the beast, prince of evil, dusk an her embrace
Improving the already awesome atmosphe and having the proper drum sound. Thank God you decided to do it
"Cruelty & The Beast" is COF masterpiece.Deserves to be remastered with a better mix especially the drums.
Yeah when it came out, and I sprinted to Utopia to buy it, though totally fell in love with it, I did however notice that the drums sounded a little weak compared to Dusk. Bass drums sounded abit too clicky. Tremendously minor issue as it did not take away from what an absolute master piece it is. Cruelty Brought Thee Orchards!! Whoo!!

Yeah dude you hit the Nail on the head. Especially about the V empire album. Couldn't agree more. Nick will be proud I trust.
@I Am Me I couldn't agree more! Barker's work is jaw dropping I can't understand why they don't tried with another producer or why they decided to keep it that way...it's a mystery to me.. 😨
@@brianbumstead2682 Both are very good! Not better than "Cruelty.." or "Dusk.." but the production it's impeccable on both.
2 years since in waiting for this. Can’t wait to hear the whole remastered album !!
You keep me going cradle of filth .... From 97 to 2019 remaster all your gold
Cryptoriana remix remaster in 2039!!
They should just make everything after Midian non canon, except Godspeed, HotW and Crypt.
Nothing else needs remastering though... this is the only album where the drums were badly mixed
Most actually need remastering against the Loudness War, especially Midian!
91
Thank you Dani and company for this wonderful music. In a decade+ of listening you have never disappointed.
this was the first ever song I heard from COF as a 14 year old back then and I immediately fell in love for life.. this album and this remaster is bloody incredible..
This is brilliant - the drums, which were terribly mixed on Cruelty - finally appears in all its majesty! Hail Nic
Nickolai Matthiassen finally hearing the cymbals is nice!
Bass drums still sounds abit clicky but not much you can do about that, huh? No harm, no foul. Still as awesome as ever!
Was not remotely prepared for how good this remaster sounds! Can’t wait to hear the full thing!
Its more of a remix...remastering alone could not achieve sound replacing drum samples.
Got the new re mastered album... My suggestion, but it, its bloody amazing
Meant buy it lol
An absolutely haunting & brutal track. Perhaps underappreciated in COF's repertoire. One of their best though
Finally we get to hear a little bit more the great work of Nicholas Barker !
Holy shit. Better than I thought it would be.
Yes! I usually don't like remasters but this one sounds great
I kinda wish it was a remaster of Lustmord and Wargasm II though..
@@dieterplaetinck4431 It qas necessary fpr this album. That's why.
That's because they didnt rewrite the lyrics as they did in the Dusk remaster.
@@DrBell-sl5et they didn't re-write anything, that's a re-master of the original recording. It's the closest thing to the OG Dusk you'll hear outside of bootlegs.
2:30 still gives me chills after 20 years. The riff and transition are perfect.
I can't wait to hear THE TWISTED NAILS OF FAITH
Abso-fucking-lutely!! The TWISTED horrifying synth opening will sound particularly piercing! Awesome!
I wish they would make albums like this again.
thats no happening, at least not in a foreseable future
Last two albums are pretty damn close!
Look at the line up dude.. Its a completely different band.
Midían was way better
@I Am Me You and @malkabeth said it before I could, and I agree, the last two albums are way more like the band that blew my doors off in 1998.

Can't wait to hear Thirteen Autumns, Cruelty, Beneath The Howling Stars, and Twisted Nails Of Faith :D
This is a close contender for my favourite Cradle of Filth song of all time. Love it.
Sounds absolutely amazing!!
And how Sarah's voice comes out, just beautiful!
Yes if was wonderful to hear Sarah on this song.
OMG... ATER MORE THAN 15 YEARS!! FINALLY A REMASTERED VERSION WITH VIDEOCLIP!!!
20 years ago I had the long sleeve shirt of this album..I'm gonna wear a similar one for my 20 year high school reunion...🤘😈🤘
Sounds Bloody Brilliant‼️🤘🏻Album is a metal masterpiece!
This is fucking epic. Can't wait to hear the full thing. This is how it should have sounded back in '97.
But ain't u glad they did the re master, even more epic
I feel the energy of this song flowing through my veins.
Reymond Torres Barkers fills and Stuart’s breakneck speed strumming has me pumped
This is so f***ing nostalgic....will be forever my favourite band...love from Portugal and COF 4 EVER!!!!
This video and remaster brought this amazing song to life.

Looking forward to Bathory Aria's remastered version.
You ain't kidding on that one. Bathory Aria is my #1 Cradle song
How could I have forgot bathory aria got so swept up this amazing remix my mind was also swept into darkness along with the carrion crows
I love this band regards from Ecuador.
This song is in my mind whenever I see something epic in my life, whether it's beautiful and sad, or punishing and painful.

0:20 I'am extremely honored. If you ever need a Keyboardist.
Am so glad to hear these tracks come back... this album alone amazes me and keeps me coming back to the dark.
I had no idea this was coming out!!! Pre ordering now
Wow. I’ve been waiting 2 years for this and it does not disappoint!
Wonder how they have remastered bathory aria? It was already a brilliant song like them all but that song in particular sticks out the most
I can actually hear the organ at one point. Such a subtlety that I could never hear before. Beautiful!
Def need a "amore e morte" remix that song still owns after all these years!
After a year or so of defaulting to RUclips to help my sanity, I finally have rediscovered Cradle, and feel like god damned Lazarus. Thank you for all that you have done. I should have subbed a long time ago.

Woooooo.....Nicholas Barker!
An Archangel in bondage
Bediademed, souled
With a murder of ravens
But no less Astarte to behold
Abandoned by Heaven
To the dead, dark and past
Cast Her dispersions
On life's brittle glass
And though Her eyes still held fire
As stonewalls caged the beast
'Gainst the lassitudes of Death
She fought but fell to greet
And midst lies in collusion
She was martyred to teach
That "Divinity and Lust
Are forever forbidden to meet"
But I swore that they would
Before the veil could part our embrace
Twixt Her cold, silent hips I kissed
And promised Christendom in flames
Gravid with madness
Like a feculent dirge
That obsesses the heart
I am covened by words
To avenge Her
Ebon splendour
And surrender
My soul to the dead to achieve
Prophecies of libidinous scourge
Horripilation braying o'er carious herds
Vexing nightmares
And their weak prayers
To a no one there
To hinder Her decree
To weed the world of their disease
As shadows unblind mine eyes to see
The meat that is their congregation
How they plead to the skies
But this is mere foreplay to war
Scar-riddled saffron eves bleed like the conjugal
Vestal daughters giving throat to the priest
A psychophant, the despoiler of faith
Now His skinless crucifixion feeds a winged diocese
For Her interred
I tore a battle banner from His hide
Splashed in red goetia
Hues of Hell and deicide
So came the night
Its obsidian light
Is a master whom disasters
Suck upon like concubines
And under black skirts
That whisper of delight
Darkseeds near fruition
Darked deeds to marry mine
"In Death's bed I have lain
Paying lip-service to shame
But for dreaming of thee I regain
A reason to seek life again"
Then we smite the divine
For our true nature is sin
To strip tender flesh from these swine
Like the lick of carnivorous winds
The breath of the storm that begins
By forcing its Herod tongue in
The womb of the holy virgin
To taste of immaculate sin
From temptation's peak we will see
The world unfurled at last
Now the wolves of time who stalk Mankind
Shall be as one in grim repast
Commemorating sickle moons
The pack are poised to reap
A scythe of white roses in bloom
Whose twisted thorns will keep
A crown upon a dead man
Daylights crucified in sleep
And lives that hide in scriptured lies
To the memories of a scream
And we shall dance amid the ruin
As Adam and Evil
Dizzy at the falling stars
That burn fiercer in throes of upheaval
If all must we damn for this moment
Then it shall be so
For our souls have crossed oceans of time
To clasp one another more tightly
Than Death could alone...
As Zyklon beats reign to make carrion crawl
The talons of lust rake a clarion call
To the lick of carnivorous winds
The lick of carnivorous winds
Gravid with madness
Like a feculent dirge
That obsesses the heart
I am covened by words
To avenge Her
Ebon splendour
And surrender
My soul to the dead to achieve
Prophecies of libidinous scourge
Horripilation braying o'er carious herds
Vexing nightmares
And their weak prayers
To a no one there
To hinder Her decree
To weed the world of their disease
As shadows unblind mine eyes to see
The meat that is their congregation
Let's canting well go again
With the beat from Armageddon...
10, saahh wolf
Thanks for you what you do , please do not ever retire
6:04 woooow
Top class production, sound and lyric video. Successfully resurrected this beast of a song!
Lol, I just noticed that the song is titled "Lustmord And Wargasm - The Lick of Carbivorous Winds" on spotify. Now, I don't know if these winds are consuming a lot of carbs to supplement all the protein they're getting from the meat, but I know that you should probably go to your spotify profile and fix that title.
in comparison to the original mix, it definetly has some carbs behind it now sound-wise :P
Carbs are supposed to be bad for you...it's KIND OF evil?
I think the people entering the data were particularly hungry in that instance and let their subconscious flow while typing 🤣🤣
Haha I didn't think anyone else noticed. Haha
Same thing on Amazon Music. Thought it was an anomaly. Wonder where they are getting that data from?
For me the best COF album... I'd love to see Dani make Video Clips like this one for the whole Cruelty and the Beast Album... It just works...
I will lose my voice screaming along to the remaster/remix of Bathory Aria for sure!!!!
THIS WILL BE SO FUCKING GOOD!!!!
Wow this video was made with proper badassitry
My biggest problem with the original album has been the extremely week sound of the drums, but the overall producation is horrible.
This new one finally does the song justice!
And I can't fucking wait to hear Thirteen Autumns and a Widow!
That's not fair, I always thought the drums sounded more like a month myself.. oh well
Having goosebumps just listening to this remastered version... I already placed my pre-order. Forevermore, "Cruelty and The Beast" will always be one of my favorites by COF.
