Cradle of Filth – ‘Midian’ CD

‘Midian’ is the fourth studio album by British extreme metal band Cradle of Filth, deeply inspired by English author Clive Barker’s novel ‘Cabal’ and his subsequent film version ‘Nightbreed.’

‘Midian’ was released on 30 October 2000 by the record label Music for Nations. It reached number 63 on the UK Albums Chart. The cover was by the artist J.K. Potter. It was subsequently also used as the jacket for Potter’s 2002 horror fiction anthology ‘Embrace the Mutation.’

‘Her Ghost in the Fog’ spawned a music video, which received heavy rotation on MTV2 and other rock channels, and was directed by Alex Chandon (who also directed the 2001 horror film ‘Cradle of Fear’ in which Dani Filth appeared).

‘Her Ghost in the Fog’ appeared on the soundtrack for ‘Ginger Snaps’ in 2000 and the ‘Brütal Legend’ video game in 2009.
