Jewelcase CD with 20 page booklet.

Background information about 'Damnation And A Day'

What happens when symphonic black metal masters Cradle Of Filth decide to unleash their most ambitious sonic assault yet? You get "Damnation & A Day" – a theatrical masterpiece that reads like a gothic novel written in blood and orchestrated by the devil himself. This isn't just another extreme metal album; it's a full-blown conceptual journey through Milton's Paradise Lost, complete with a 40-piece orchestra that transforms Dani Filth's trademark shrieks into something approaching operatic grandeur.

From the haunting opening of "A Bruise Upon The Silent Moon" to the apocalyptic finale "End Of Daze", this record showcases the band at their most cinematic and uncompromising. Tracks like "Better To Reign In Hell" and "Babalon A.D. (So Glad For The Madness)" demonstrate how Cradle Of Filth can seamlessly blend crushing metal riffs with symphonic arrangements that would make Danny Elfman jealous. The production courtesy of Sony gives every blast beat, every orchestral flourish, and every venomous vocal line the clarity it deserves, making this a defining moment in the band's illustrious career.

For fans of:
Dimmu Borgir, Emperor, Behemoth, Dark Funeral, Old Man's Child
