the third - concept album [1998] is based upon the bloody legend of murderous Hungarian countess Elisabeth Bathory, and finds the British act thoroughly indulging in a Wagnerian, neosymphonic sound; some tracks of bombastic opus still stick to a more demonic, straightforward metal aesthetic, whilst Desire in Violent Overture and the sweeping Bathory Aria embody Dani Filth's vision of a more grandiose depiction of narrative horror; this disc still stands out as one of Cradle of Filth's most ambitious and impressive achievements ever, recent European edition
