Cradle of Filth – From The Cradle To Enslave Vinyl Reissue

31st October 2016 0 By John Deaux

For the first time EVER Cradle of Filth release their 1999 E.P From The Cradle To Enslave on beautiful blood-red vinyl with new colored artwork to match.

What can be said about this E.P that wasn’t mentioned when it was first issued? This time around not only does it look stunning it sounds fucking stunning too.

The CD version sounded good. This version blows it completely out of the water.

Music For Nations have pulled of yet another miracle with the mastering & pressing. The cut of the disc is sublime. The resonance of the extreme music that is contained within to vibrate the stylus without causing any background hiss & makes the stereo split incredible.

Musically, this is COF at their best. 3 of the original release tracks are followed by such gems as, Perverts Church & Dawn Of Eternity, that was only available on the US version of the E.P until now.

The cover versions are immense. The Misfits & Massacre tracks have never sounded so devastating recorded by another band. Cradle Of Filth must’ve followed the teaching of the Kabbalah to re-incarnate these track as their own.

It’s hard to believe that From The Cradle to Enslave is 17 years old at this point.

This truly is for Cradle of Filth fans as well as vinyl collectors.

Score 9.5/10
