"First off, I have to warn that the sound production is not the best part of this album, giving it a very rough sound as opposed to the digital sound quality of later albums. But this is some of COF's best material, including "The Forest Whispers My Name," "Black Goddess Rising," "Summer Dying Fast," and not to mention the blistering title track. The musicianship is flawless, with the minor exception of some of the keyboards, which sound a little bit like music from games like Zelda, not that that's a bad thing. Dani's vocals also had yet to turn into the piercing shriek he now has, but still fit the music very well. All in all, buy it now, order it if you have to, but it's well worth the price of admission. Check out "Dusk and Her Embrace" too."

Classic!

"This is the second best Cradle album after Dusk. This is the closest to Black Metal Cradle ever got and it is way better than any black metal album i have ever heard. Buy this album! i swear you will not regret itkey tracks: The forest whispers my name, To eve the art of witchcraft, A Crecendo of Passion Bleeding, Of Mist and Midnight skies."

The Principles of Metal on Plastic

"This is classic Cradle of Filth. All the aspects are here: the stampeding drum beats, the lightning-fast guitar parts, and song structure that is lacking in many other bands in this genere. The only thing missing is Dani's trademark vocals, which are found in later albums. No matter. Songs like the title track, 'The Forest Whispers My Name' and 'Black Goddess Rises' are worth the price of the album. For real metal fans, especially Cradle fans, 'Principle of Evil Made Flesh' is a requirement."
