2CD album in standard jewel case.

Background information about 'Midnight In The Labyrinth'

Cradle Of Filth takes us on a haunting journey through their symphonic black metal legacy with "Midnight In The Labyrinth", a stunning re-imagining of their most beloved compositions. This orchestral reimagining strips away the brutal aggression to reveal the intricate beauty that has always lurked beneath the surface of their darkest material. Tracks like "Dusk And Her Embrace" and "The Forest Whispers My Name" are transformed into sweeping symphonic pieces that showcase Dani Filth's theatrical vocal range against lush orchestral arrangements. The album breathes new life into classics such as "Funeral In Carpathia" and "A Gothic Romance (Red Roses For The Devil's Whore)", presenting them as the gothic masterpieces they were always meant to be.

What makes this collection truly special is how it reveals the compositional genius that has driven Cradle Of Filth for decades. The orchestral arrangements don't merely accompany the songs – they become integral to their very essence, creating an atmosphere that's both haunting and beautiful. "Thirteen Autumns And A Widow" becomes a melancholic epic, while "Cruelty Brought Thee Orchids" transforms into a darkly romantic symphony. This isn't just a collection of re-recorded tracks; it's a complete artistic statement that proves these songs work just as powerfully in an orchestral setting as they do in their original black metal form.

Dimmu Borgir, Emperor, Therion, Septicflesh, Fleshgod Apocalypse
