Upon its initial inception unto the world in 1999, Cradle to Enslave the band’s second EP, provided a snapshot of Cradle of Filth sharpening and expanding their sonic monikers, ones that would eventually go on to establish the eponymic sound of a groundbreaking genre. A collection of tracks that feel both intense and theatrical hit with heavy driving riffs, sweeping orchestral touches and the inimitable bark of frontman Dani Filth.  These tracks provide an accessible entry point to the ornately gothic extreme metal milieu the band operate in and remains a sought-after release for collectors and new fans alike. Re-pressed on special formats including a red and black colour vinyl and recycled eco-CD.
