@@adrianguerrero6917 He may have his own reasons to do so. Honestly I have no idea why link his departure to this album. As a matter of fact, this is the first time I hear about this!
@@dogrudiyosun Im sorry but dani is the escence of this band, all the other musicians are highly replacable, if something maybe the drummer was something special.
glad more and more people are loving this... and by the way, i don't mean to be a jerk, but there is a difference between remixing and remastering. this is indeed the official remaster of the whole album.
@@AleexSolanoo you are actually right here. The main reason for most band members leaving is drug or alcohol abuse to where he was paying out of his own pocket for them to go through rehab, Martin keyboardist being one of the most recognizable, That's not to say that Dani didn't enjoy himself, for him music came first, but he did indulge, outside of alcohol he didn't overindulge and alcohol nearly destroyed his throat so he went sober for life. The drummer Nick Barker, loved the rock and roll life style and went through multiple bands. He is one of my most respected drummers in terms of his cymbal work, insane memory recall to do what he does. His cymbal work is even further enunciated in Dimmu Borgir. Fantastic drummer. As for the band members, they are replaceable as long as they don't deviate from the Cradle package. It's a commercialized enterprise that has been going strong since the 80's. Much love to you, sorry for the long comment.
I think this is not only remastering but remixing as well !!! which is really rare by this time !!! Drums and especially "Snare sound" was the big problem of this record when he was released, for the journalist but also for the members of the band ... Now it is definitelly way much better !!! perfect treatment for a Jewel like this one. The "masterpiece of art of their life" and for me the best album of the band forever !!! the Order of the dragon still rules !!!!
There are things that sound better in this version, but the snare is not one of them... The snare here sounds way too “punchy”. Too much compression - just like every metal band’s snare nowadays. Sounds like a disco snare haha. Then again, nowadays everything is way over compressed... dynamic range doesn’t matter anymore - only loudness! I’m not convinced that this version sounds better. It is definitely heavier - but not sure if heavy = better
@@user-vm1hh2lp1b You have to consider the fact they re triggered the drums, it is not that barker sat at the drums again..they did a pretty decent job imho. the snares are not that great but better than the old version.
Saw cradle on tour in Toronto for this album way back in 1998 if I remember correctly. They had Userper and a local band called "6 Days from Sunday" open for them. Great show. Dani' s vocal range then is just as strong now live from what I've seen. Dani is an incredible singer and truly of raw pure talent that no singer of the same genre can compare to, except for maybe Shagrath of Dimmu Borgir... but he is awesome in a different way than that of Dani.. I met Cradle after that show. Nick was still the drummer, as was Robin and the keyboardist who dressed as a priest (sorry I forget his name at the moment, but he was eventually replaced by Martin). They were still in the band on that tour. Really nice guys. I went to the show with a buddy of mine and we took many photos..how i wish I still had them. I for sure would have digitised them. If you have a chance to see Cradle live, go see them. One of the best bands I have ever seen.
My late husband listened to this band every day during the pregnancy of our 2nd son. That child had been and still is an exact replica version of his father. In utero while this band played the child within would move so much it was mind blowing. Typically I did not have much movement fetal movement. Never as often as I did when Cradle of Filth or any other death metal music was on... was in 5th row at Oz Fest 2003 and baby went crazy when Marilyn Manson and Korn performed. I have not get been given opportunity to see C.O.F. perform live.
My first exposure to black metal as a 15 year old kid. This shit scared me back in the day with the imagery and thematic material. Still leaves me with a creepy feeling and I better appreciate the musicianship now.
the best black metal band from the 90's,still kicking ashes.bought dusk when came out ,15 years old back then.and from then one my favourite metal bands ever
Same.this was first COF album I heard back when it was first released and I was 18.nostalgia..memories. I remember where I was and who I was with.i was at friend of a friends house.he also became a close friend until they all met women, had families and left.hardly seen any of em since.sometimes I wonder what they are doing now
They are the most talented musicians, artists, and poets I have ever heard. No one could possibly deny their lyrical genius and their insanely elevated musical abilities, both together and as individuals. It blows my mind every time, beyond words.
This for me is the greatest album still, my mum got me this because she said she saw the front cover ,i was weird and I might like it, put it on and feck it blew me away
@@RicardoNecrofear Agree completely. The way it comes out of nowhere but perfectly steps the song up always gives me chills. In fact this song is so perfect for setting the tone of the entire album. The foreboding sense you get at the end of the song is amazing aswell.
Best album by them in my opinion, this was the first song I heard by Cradle of Filth and it sounds even better now that it's been remastered. Love this album cover too!
I don't think these are Barker's drums, they sound re-recorded, probably by that Skaroupka, there's cheating on the hihats in the skank beats and the blast beats are lagging at times
@@krish6519 it's Nick. From the album's producer: "Lots of restoration work needed to be done, noise reduction, hum and hiss, crosstalk and bleed. No additional recording has taken place, myself and Dani wanted it faithful to the original just sonically better. The songs are really killer and finally have some real weight to them, which the original sorely lacked."
The blast beat at the beginning is very unique in fact i have only heard it on this album, it's literally a one and half step behind on the snare, in other songs Barker does the same blast but on a different time making it sound very different, Incredible Drummer here. The guitars are very Iron Maiden influenced w tremendous melodies and harmonies. The singer is out of this world.
Just want to add that Dani Filth is the greatest metal vocalist. I share these songs with people and they refuse to believe this is the same guy. It's Dani.
These remastered songs are fuckin amazing.. I hated the pillow drums from the original release.. Only had to wait 21 years to hear this album sound like it should.. This is the reason I've spent my whole adult life listening to this amazing band even through all the line up changes Cradle just keeps pumping out amazing music.
This was my favorite song (of all time). I absolutely LOVE this BUT, I think the original version was a bit better. The imperfections were perfect... raw, chilling, ancient and haunting...how i feel it should be. This is amazing but too clean i think.
I agree. This sounds good too. Maybe better. But there was something about the original production... I don't know. You either love it or hate it. And lots of people hated it back then if I remember correctly. Same problem with Krisiun's Ageless Venomous. Brilliant record but people hated the production.
This is why Hetfield said Metallica won’t ever make a remixed/mastered album like this. Yes, it sounds top-notch, but we did all grow to love the imperfections of the original
It's the drums for me that sounds so much better in this version, but there's a lot of detail and layers of sound that you can pick up from the original that are not in the remaster. But I listen to both albums frequently
Even better news for this week...Cradle of Filth is playing Cruelty and the Beast and some on their tour in the U.S.🤘🏽😄 So fucking psyched for October.
First and most chosen album. Bought back in 1999. Listening to it oooking at all the art work. Felt i was there. Smelt the album tell ya boys girls. As kids ever got new gaming system for a holiday and the first smell of it open. Yeah vivid
fuck this sounds so good. the full remaster automatically makes a classic album sound so much even more legendary. aside from Midian, this was my favourite album, and yet i just discovered they remastered this album literally 10 minutes ago. haha.
this is the first song i ever heard from CoF back in 1997. I saw their Jesus is a Cunt t-shirt in a Rockabilia magazine and thought that's fucking cool so on my way to driver's ed (i was 15 at the time) I had my dad stop at this record store that carried a lot of metal shit you couldn't find at the mall and all that. Bought this CD and put it in my Discman lol and had my whole fucking mind blown!! at that point I was listening to the typical Pantera, Megadeth, White Zombie, Fear Factory, Machine Head, etc. I was like FUCK YESSSSS!!!! THIS is the music I've been searching for!!!
F**k yeah 🤘 been listening to this album since highschool. The only album ive heard all the way through and i feel this is the only album i need to hear for some reason. Anyway, f**king love this rerecording put a big smile on my face.
Finding out that my ancestors are of the family which Elizabeth Bathory married into made this album and this song in particular my FAVORITE Cradle experience
Nice works!! Its been 22 years since the first time i heard it. Even i bought the tape. Hahaha!! Good old days! Now i am a father of two kids and still kicking out this song. Thats never get old!!
First time listening to remaster. Curious on how it all progresses. Drums are coming through a lot more now. That was one of the things I missed from this album. Dimmu Borgir albums of the same time era also missed drums coming through back then. Which reminds me... pls let Enthrone Darkness Triumphant be remastered soon!
Just got a flashback to being a kid listening to this album playing need for speed underground. I wanted to see what would happen if I put my speakers on 100 and blast this for a race. It was obnoxiously loud and gave me a slight heart attack when I pressed play.
This album is, with no further discussion, their best work in the whole COF lifetime. Perfectly composed and forged. Period.
Yet Nic left because of it lol
@@adrianguerrero6917 He may have his own reasons to do so. Honestly I have no idea why link his departure to this album. As a matter of fact, this is the first time I hear about this!
He didn't like the way they mastered his drum tracks. Although I loved it! Lol
No period at all
nope, Dusk still is
No idea why Cradle got so much hate. This is phenomenal music. Sounds even better remixed.
Because they play in MTV music Europe Awards 🤷🏾♂️😈🤘🏾

Danny Filth really is a poet.
Danny's Vocal range is so amazing nobody can ever come close to sounding like him
You're right
I saw them live in April for the 1st time and dani is fucking amazing live. Hearing those highs in person is just insane
@@nathanlitko1004 oh man I bet it was fucking great

100%
the best black metal band from the 90's,still kicking ashes.bought dusk when came out ,15 years old back then.and from then one my favourite metal bands ever
This sounds so good. Brings me back being a teen. Now it sounds so much better
idk man, my taste for sound got better and can actually say their recorder was fuckin jackshit from a garage
Don't get me wrong I still love the old sound
Same.this was first COF album I heard back when it was first released and I was 18.nostalgia..memories. I remember where I was and who I was with.i was at friend of a friends house.he also became a close friend until they all met women, had families and left.hardly seen any of em since.sometimes I wonder what they are doing now
The drumming on this one is absolutely amazing. Glad I can finally hear it
This remaster made one of best black/gothic metal albums even more better..
The very last two verses are excellent 🤘 the melody simply flows
Vempire, Dusk and Cruelty are the best black metal ever composed!
I would even include Midian! 😀 Cheers!🤘
@@hectorg.m.3350 not the same vibe...

One of the best metal song i've ever heard, the final part is incredible.
They were in the zone 💯 I wish that they would go back to this formula 1998
The thirst of buying a physical copy is back again.
This for me is the greatest album still, my mum got me this because she said she saw the front cover ,i was weird and I might like it, put it on and feck it blew me away
Extremely underrated song by this band.
Been a fan for 20 years. Still my absolute fave CoF song.
At 01:30, one of my favorite riffs ever! \m/
@@RicardoNecrofear That riff was destroyed by adding keyboards.
@@RicardoNecrofear Agree completely. The way it comes out of nowhere but perfectly steps the song up always gives me chills. In fact this song is so perfect for setting the tone of the entire album. The foreboding sense you get at the end of the song is amazing aswell.
Cradle of filth is amazing! Dani Filth's makeup and outfits (old and new) are so pretty
Old School
Cradle Of Filth
Song
Listening in 2019
Is a Glory..... I know
I'm so happy this has finally happened!
Esta canción es una de mis favoritas, que ritmo y la voz de Danny es tan reconocida y única.
Y la que le sigue la termina de explotar
The drums actually sound like they have weight behind them. The pitter patter sound killed me. Great job.
Best album by them in my opinion, this was the first song I heard by Cradle of Filth and it sounds even better now that it's been remastered. Love this album cover too!
I'm hearing new hits on Nick's performance that I never heard in 1998!!
Drums like they shoulda been heard !
Nick is the MASTER
I don't think these are Barker's drums, they sound re-recorded, probably by that Skaroupka, there's cheating on the hihats in the skank beats and the blast beats are lagging at times
His drumming is so intense that recording technology had to catch up for 22 years before he could be accurately heard
@@krish6519 it's Nick. From the album's producer: "Lots of restoration work needed to be done, noise reduction, hum and hiss, crosstalk and bleed.

Still one of my favourite albums of all time^^ The swedish exclusive picture Lp from 2004 still hanging on my wall as a display piece
Just want to add that Dani Filth is the greatest metal vocalist. I share these songs with people and they refuse to believe this is the same guy. It's Dani.
i have the same experience^^
This was the first COF album I ever listened, back in 2000. I was 16 at the time. Man I was blown away. Still love it
When dreams finally come true, few moments compare. Thank you, Dani, for doing Cruelty justice. This is amazing.
OMS! If this was like this from the beginning Barker would never left!
These remastered songs are fuckin amazing..

Theyre touring the us playing this album this year
Even better news for this week...Cradle of Filth is playing Cruelty and the Beast and some on their tour in the U.S.🤘🏽😄 So fucking psyched for October.
At last! Time for you guys to enjoy the amazing ride that was the Lustmord tour. One of the best shows in my life (Brazil, 2019). Just pure gold.

This album is awesome
Dani, I miss this time
Anthems to the welkin at dusk would benefit from a proper remixing and remastering. Its all ready legendary, but what if?
No words to tell how good it is... Forever and beyond .. one of the better title created on earth

greatest song ever written just got a bit better..
favorite cradle song. i say that about every song tho
to me, cof will forever be my favorite band
God Tier track on a God Tier album.
Masterpiece and still till today my favorite COF album, followed by Dusk and Venus, dark aversa. Glad they remastered it, sounds much better now 👍❤️
Jesus christ this song is so much better with the remaster
jamming this while wearing my vintage CATB shirt from 1999
F**k yeah 🤘 been listening to this album since highschool. The only album ive heard all the way through and i feel this is the only album i need to hear for some reason. Anyway, f**king love this rerecording put a big smile on my face.
this is what music is so fab
Finding out that my ancestors are of the family which Elizabeth Bathory married into made this album and this song in particular my FAVORITE Cradle experience
This album and midian are my favorites hands down!!
Midian is my favorite album by Cradle of Filth
This sound make me remember a girl, cradle was our music of Love...
Now I wanna hear remastered versions of «Funeral in Carpathia» and «Queen of Winter, Throned» so freakin bad.
Queen of Winter, Throned is my favourite song of COF!
have you listened to the original sin?
Vempire dosent need remastering still sounds great today
V Empire and Dusk sound perfect why would they remaster it
i feel u man
Now, this takes me back...
Much better sound! I definitely prefer this version
This was my first cradle of filth cd
AND IT IS AMAZING
Holy crap I was like 14 when I last heard this. OMG. Thanks.
Epic, sounds great. An absolute remasterpiece!
Es tan hermosa!
masterpiece of british heavy black metal music
I played this song at work because I was tired of rap music and they fired me.
INSANE!!!!
The same reason COF were the first Black Metal band signing for SONY Records! They are incredible, genius!
HELL YEAH!!!! WHAT A MASTERPIECE!!! THANK U COF!!!!!!!! HAIL FROM BRAZIL
Music to my ears . Sweeeeeeet . ❤😊 Sydney Australia 🦘 9/4/2024
I like the tight sound on drums in the original track, But Dani’s voice is awesome here.
Favorite outro from them
HEXES SIX TRIPLED THEIR FEEEEES
They’re not black metal but this is the best black metal.
As great as this now sounds, it'll never replace the original release.
So many memories buried in that album and its sound.
One of the very greatest hits
Best remaster ever.
Best of me life because a much man of much music and a faith...
Some of........................................................................
It is noticeable it has its influences of NWOBHM :-) Sudden change to diverse unexpected tempos :-) EPIC!
Thanks for uploading this masterpiece in its entirety COF!!!
His highs sounds like whistling when bombs drop. Fuuuuck
Nick Barker, great, great, great Drummer 2:04 to 2:07 wow !!!
Bom de mais.... nem sei como elogiar tal obra!!!
Nice works!! Its been 22 years since the first time i heard it. Even i bought the tape. Hahaha!! Good old days! Now i am a father of two kids and still kicking out this song. Thats never get old!!
Niklas "thunder" Barker !!!!!!!!!! It is more than I can get hahahhahs
best album Cradle of Filth!
First time listening to remaster. Curious on how it all progresses. Drums are coming through a lot more now. That was one of the things I missed from this album. Dimmu Borgir albums of the same time era also missed drums coming through back then. Which reminds me... pls let Enthrone Darkness Triumphant be remastered soon!
How would you like Enthrone darkness to be re-mastered?
Enthrone Darkness Triumphant is the standard of a good scandinavian black metal production. It doesn't need a remaster.
The best Part begins at 1:32 for me.....holy moly....
They can say what they can about this band and Dani Filth but this album is a fucking classic and this song is epic as fuck
My favorite 😱😱😱😈😈😈
Here we goooo. Thanks so much
Una de mis favoritas!! Suena increíble,gracias por compartirla!!!
Te gusta tanto como ami hermosa
One of my faves \m/\m/
Stuart and Nick....and some les. no one else was close to those guys. they never come close to this album after
obra Maestra
Just got a flashback to being a kid listening to this album playing need for speed underground. I wanted to see what would happen if I put my speakers on 100 and blast this for a race. It was obnoxiously loud and gave me a slight heart attack when I pressed play.
Justice!
This is timeless
thank you nicholas barker
This song drives my neighbor's Chihuahua nuts.
I'm loving the re-mistressed version of this album, however it's a little weird hearing so much drum bass now. lol..
Set the bass sounds somewhat lower with EQ, then it's perfect. Funny thing is that regarding the original, I'll always set the high notes down.
