Cradle Of Filth - Beneath the Howling Stars (Remixed and Remastered) [Audio]

[@morferus666]

Beneath - the - Howling... STAAAAAAAAARSSS!!!!!!

[@YourBrotherFromAnotherMother.]

People don't realize the deep voice and the raspy vampire are both Dani Filth. He is incredible. The greatest vocalist.

[@CAPTAINSARGE]

People do

[@carl-wheezer]

Literally everyone knows that

[@BURN_SHITTUBE]

and the girl's voice too

[@Simori]

umm..maybe you didnt? :D Others do know this :D

[@456death654]

people also dont realize he sounds like a dying animal live compared to studio versions

[@mr.mcmahon5525]

This remaster goes on to show Nick barker’s drumming skill is truly unparalleled. Cradle was never the same since his departure.

[@thanosa2206]

I agree But andrian was a joy to listen too with his style of drumming

[@KreshDraven6]

Best Cradle album The remaster sounds sick

[@Tukker1970]

True

[@DrBell-sl5et]

@ shut up, idiot

[@juanguzman1031]

Is a Masterpiece!!!

[@vampiradeathrockerbatxq762]

Right I LOVE THIS Album it's one my favorites

[@marchmont5918]

It was definitely needed. I've been listening to the original since it came out in the late 90s, and it's like hearing an entirely new album now.

[@RodHxC]

Lecter's keyboard work in this record was magnificent and flawless, too bad that he didn't last long in Cradle. Him, Stuart and Nick were the masterminds in this very album.

[@woodenhoe]

One of their best lineup

[@endofnight]

How much writing did Gian do? I've always liked him as well.

[@Kotkamusic]

Best COf album of all times, and the most beloved band formation... Robin, Lecter, Nicholas, Gian, Stuart and Dani...

[@kaziglubey4455]

Definitely their best lineup. And don't forget Sarah, she is freaking incredible.

[@leorising11]

And Sarah, she was brilliant

[@sTheecreep]

The best gothic poetry to ever exist.

[@josephmoore5967]

This guy TOTALLY nailed this. The voices of Dani alone, but now you can hear all the choirs better, Sarah and the actress better, and the interplay (and especially the upmixing of the whispers and the deep vampire guy voice Dani uses are WONDERFUL fucking touches). Musically, in some places the synths now overpower the guitars, but we've also never HEARD those synth lines, they were fucking buried, so it's almost NEW music in those spots. I'll take the tradeoff. The drums crack and thunder, as they should, Barker is one of THE BEST at intensity on blasts. To me, this feels like a fucking personal opera version, in headphones OR good speakers, with balls and surround (and perhaps, as intended originally) I'm not even a super Cradle fan, but this album's songwriting and effort at arrangement made it the masterpiece it was. And NOW you add a better job than even Steven WIlson could do??? :O I mean this is literally like the guys who clean the old paintings in Sistine Chapel. After years of dirt and muck, NOW you can SEE the art breathe. If only fucking Ihsahn would allow this for Emperor - Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk, if ever another album DESERVED this kind of production, my fucking god....

[@Rascaduanok]

I would love to hear such a glorious remastering of Anthems!

[@chiefindisguise]

Agreed, if i hear Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk with this insane clarity, atmosphere and quality i would be a very happy man.

[@josephmoore5967]

@@chiefindisguise @kodanshi Helcarver Please check out my friend's page @Remastered Black Metal Albums and project, he remasters a bunch of stuff. I bought a "Anthems" remix from him it was awesome, appears YT took it down, but his YT page has tons of stuff kzbin.info/door/n9tlagzAcYvA1eduuYDYQA

[@vampiradeathrockerbatxq762]

This is the best comment for far Sorry I type way too fast

[@josephmoore5967]

@Belial 777 I produce, No, these would be either original tracks, enhanced to come to the forefront in the mix, or extra tracks added in because the band chose not to use them in the final mix. It would be rare to have the artist pop back in studio to re-record or ask another person to do them. Plus Dani is still able to execute, if their latest live work is any guide.

[@jansoc1486]

Finally a remaster! The original 1998 sounded good, but was still missing something. This is just perfect!

[@BarryOkanagan]

This music showed me the beauty of the english language back when I didn't care to learn it so much. So inspiring. Still a masterpiece.

[@jeranbrown82]

At 7:03 I feel like I should stand as though it’s an anthem. It’s one of the most glorious things ever written.

[@andersoncubillos]

Yess!! Finally the sound that drums deserve.

[@pepe6666]

yeah man. i tried super hard to bring back in barkers kick drums by using software to identify a harmonic of the kick drum and using it to trigger a sample. thats how desperate i was

[@jesusguerra1093]

Amazing the improvement, finally some damn justice for Nick.

[@kristopherryanwatson]

here, here !

[@timreigns6099]

Nick Barker is a beast!

[@AAVVVAAADDAAAKAAADAVRAAA]

Yea nick always gets shut out unless live

[@PlagueInjected]

I like that the remaster just makes the recording sound better rather than changing up the feel of it. It STILL sounds like Cruelty and the Beast.

[@center1581]

I’ll never forget listening to this on my spongebob CD Player when I was 11 years old. To my cousin Alex, a billion thank yous.

[@santi_lee8796]

Midwinter wrongs the rites of Spring Her spinal chill rakes the earth Whilst pensive souls at zero sing Woebetidings of rebirth Under cold stares of Mars maligned Near-suicides cross their hearts And unborns writhe in tepid brine For something wicked this way starts Beneath the howling stars Elizabeth, paragon of vice Watches the sun set pyres alight As Bane and Tyranny, Her Dobermans sleep Like spellbound paramours at Her feet A chatter of bells without Raise hellhounds, teeth on edge From sleighs hastened through snow lit red Guests espied from the garret ledge Great gloomy mirror tell Her face She will outblind them all That heavenly bodies would fall from grace To possess such a lustrous pall For beauty is always Cruel For beauty is always (Let destiny in chains commence Damnation under Gods seeking recompense Enslaving to the whims of this mistress) As the dance ensued Elizabeth's mood Tempered by the craft of a vitreous moon In slick black iciness it grew To consume The wench Her tower tombed Tending to Her costume Bore the brunt of the storm When the needle askewed She has Her dogs maul the bitch's wrists through Restored to jaded bliss This evisceratrix Descended to the ball With painted blood upon Her lips Passing like a comet so white As to eclipse The waltz wound down, transfixed Devoid of all breath in the air Even Death paled to compare To the taint of Her splendour So rare and engendered 'Pon the awed throng gathered There Beneath the howling stars She danced so macabre Men entranced divined from Her gait That this angel stepped from a pedestal Had won remission from fate By alighting to darker spheres Delighting in held sway For She was not unlike the Goddess To whom the wolves bayed "Whilst envy glanced daggers From court maidens, arboured Who whispered in sects Of suspicions abroad That Elizabeth bewitched See how even now the whore casts Her spells upon the Black Count Whom Her reddened lips hold fast" Tongue unto tongue Swept on tides without care For the harpies who rallied Their maledict glares A halo of ravens tousled Her hair Chandeliers a tiara For passions ensnared "Phantasies sexed When their eyes, moonstruck met Their friction wore a way Through the sea of foreplay Lovers at first biteShe an Eve tempted to lay Gasping at rafters Flesh pressed in ballet" But caprice, honours leashed She absconded the feast To prowl wonderland Beasts in hand from the Keep Of Feudal dilemma Well mantled in furs Through cullis to watch Dogstars howl at the earth On this violent night Unholy night Winds lashed their limbs together As the ether vent its wintry spite She wished His kiss on Her frozen landscapes To excite the bleak advance From castle bowers Wherein small hours The Devil never came by chance A lone charm tied to Her inner thigh Sent lusts nova as hooves trod Cobbled streets where lowlives fleet Were flung to a wayward god Midwinter wrongs the rites of Spring Her spinal chill rakes the earth Whilst pensive souls at zero sing Woebetidings of rebirth Under cold stares of Mars maligned Near-suicides cross their hearts And unborns writhe in tepid brine For something wicked this way starts Beneath the howling stars Pounding upon the pauper ridge Earshot of a hunched beldame Elizabeth teased, would He dare to please Such elderly loins enflamed? To this He feigned a grim disdain Playing to Her slayful eye But the hag replied "This girl that chides Will soon be as plagued with age as I" Her consort laughed a plume of icy breath For Elizabeth's grace could raise A flag of truce in burning heaven Or the dead from early graves Yet still She seethed This proud Snow Queen Embittered with the cursed retort And because He sought Her loves onslaught He gutted the crone for sport Soon in full moon fever they were wed Lycanthropic in the conjugal bed Littered with aphrodisiacs To tease dynastic union And beget them further maniacs Elizabeth Free reigned, now a Countess Outwielded and outwore Her title like a favoured dress Whilst Her errant Lord Whose seasons savoured war Stormed black to fell the infidel Her embers, tempered, roared.

He left because he and Dani got drunk and Nick was about to literally kill him. He said so himself. Then he got kicked.

[@Zaragil]

Damn... I remember reading an interview with Nicholas, ages ago in some UK magazine, how they got drunk somewhere, Nicholas somehow got hurt and bleeding, and they just left him like that at the entrance of some hospital. I really can't remember the details, and they did a lot of drunken crap back in the day, but I was under the impression that they didn't quite respect him.
