Style: majestic expressive demonic black metal
the third - concept album [1998] is based upon the bloody legend of murderous Hungarian countess with Lithuanian roots Elisabeth Bathory, and finds the eccentric British act thoroughly indulging in a highly bombastic, Wagnerian, neosymphonic sound; some tracks of dramatic opus still stick to a more demonic, straightforward metal aesthetic, whilst Desire in Violent Overture and the sweeping Bathory Aria trilogy embody Dani Filth's vision of a more grandiose depiction of narrative horror, backed up by highly mysterious yet engaging poetry, so that this disc keeps stands out as one of Cradle of Filth's most ambitious and impressive achievements ever; recent European edition
