4.0 out of 5 stars The theme to a better Armageddon, April 12, 2002

Cradle of Filth's EP inbetween the vampiric bloodbath of Cruelty And The Beast and the gates of Midian sports pre-millennium tension on the title track. Satan's favourite band presage the whole new world...this is the end of everything." This song ranks along with "Cruelty Brought Thee Orchids," "Heaven Torn Asunder," and "Cthulhu Dawn," which is probably the new dawn they are referring to in the song.

"Of Dark Blood" wouldn't be out of place on Cruelty as it is Cradle with its relentless drumming, bloodcurdling screams, and female vocals. They also do a brilliant job in covering the Misfits' "Death Comes Ripping." Their remix of "Funeral In Carpathia" has a few subtle differences but I prefer the original.

"Dawn To Eternity" is the link that will tie to the Midian album, with its ominous instrumental section, followed by the explosion sound effects, and the usual COF metal assault, heralding "the end of civilization and the massacre of mankind."

Lift the CD out and the listener will find the photo of a hand slicing a bloody wrist with a blade, and a bathtub with trails of blood. These are images from the very extreme video of "From The Cradle To Enslave" found on the Pan Daemon Aeon music video.

A good interlude before the Gates of Midian.

This review is from: From the Cradle to Enslave (Audio CD)

THIS IS ONE OF MY FIRST CRADLE OF FILTH CDS I LISTENED TO,AND LIKE THE FIRST,IT BLEW ME AWAY! ITS MORE THAN WHAT YOU WOULD EXCPECT DOR A CD WITH ONLY 6 SONGS. SOME SAY "CRADLE TO ENSLAVE" IS THE BEST SONG, BUT I MUST SAY SLEEPLESS AND OF DARK AND f$#KING ARE MUCH BETTER! ALTHOUGH THE CRADLE TO ENSLAVE MUSIC VIDEO IS PERFECT! THIS IS ONE OF C.O.F. BEST EPS! IF YOUR LOOKIN FOR A SHORT YET SATISFYING BLACK METAL CD, I WOULD REALLY RECCOMEND THIS ONE! EVERY TRACK IS GOOD! IT IS MUCH DIFFRENT THEN THE AVERAGE BLACK METAL BAND,I WOULD SAY THEY TOOK BLACK/DEATH METAL TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL! THE ENDING OF DARK OF..... IS REALLY TRIPPY TOO! SO STOP READING REVIEWS AND BUY THIS EP,NOW!!!
LONG LIVE THE FILTH

I AM QUITE A HUGE COF FAN AND JUST WANTED TO SAY THIS ALBULM MAY NOT HAVE MANY SONGS, BUT STILL HAS THE SAME DARKNESS AND EVIL AS ANY OTHER CRADLE OF FILTH CD. IF YOU ARE A NEW FAN, I RECOMEND THIS OR BETTER YET ONE OF COF BEST ALBULMS CRUELTY AND THE BEAST!
