Midian

This is still easily one of Cradle of Filth's best, darkest, sickest and most evil works and it truly deserves its classic status. It contains two of my favourite songs in any genre. "Saffron's Curse" is a beautiful, emotional, twisted & haunting romantic song. Meanwhile, "Lord Abortion" features a necrophilic subject matter, which plays out across an incredibly varied composition (in speed, tone & vocals). It also featured in the "Cradle of Fear" movie. Both songs are guaranteed to have you singing along every time you hear them. The lyrics here are among Dani's best and most ingeniously poetic. I dare anyone to pen better lines than the likes of Lord Abortion's: "I kissed her viciously, maliciously, religiously; but when has one been able two best separate the three. I know I'm sick as Dahmer did, but this is what I do. Ahh, ahh, ahh, I'll Jimmy Saville you until I'm through" (Sorry - I may have changed a few words, but I sense a topic for COF's next concept album!)I've focused on my own favourite tracks to highlight the strengths of the album as a whole. Rest assured that from the intro to the final song, there is no dud track and others will have their own favourites. This album is very evil and varied, but it is consistently good and hangs together really well. This is because, although it is not a concept album, the songs are all based around the titular dark city of monsters (Midian), from Clive Barker's movie "Nightbreed" (which is definitely worth watching if you haven't seen it).

I love this album. It is one of the classic Cradle albums and one of the first I was introduced to when I first heard of the band. I had to re buy the album because my 1st copy was worn out lol It includes the classic signature song 'Her Ghost in the Fog' but has some more of the interesting, "sexy" and unique lyrics the filth miester has produced. The intro's are perfect for the atmosphere of it feeling like your in a city full of monsters and mutants and its clear it was produced much better than any of their releases before hand.Almost every track is perfect and some of my favourites and includes the king of the monsters of hell, Pinhead speaking over in a few of the tracks, which obviously gives it that horror feel. I love it!

This is an amazing album.Not only does is tell a story bit the music is incredible

This album comes as a breath of fresh air.It is dark, heavy, sinister and melodic all at the same time.Dani, does well with his screeches and paul allender's guitar work is beyond commendable.Sarah adds a Gothic touch to this album by performing operatic choruses.The drumming is excellent too.COF should be totally praised for this effort.Own it, Know it!

This album is directed at a spooky horror ghost scene with metal like riffs and deep voicing its a typical goth scene here its pretty cool its taking me some time to get used to the bands vocals and stuff this is my first COF cd I bought and its pretty sweet the album cover is awesome and the song titles have great names to buy it for the black metal experince

Saw them 10 years ago and it still ranks as one of the best gigs I have been to. Shame I am too old now to go out headbanging with my zimmer frame, but I just got a sudden urge to buy Ghost in the Fog, and so I bought the album! It brings back good memories.

Their best album. Some might disagree saying that it is too mainstream. But I stand by my comment.
