Until 2016, very few people had access to the original version of CRADLE OF FILTH follow-up to their hugely successful debut album The Principle Of Evil Made Flesh.
Entangled in legal problems with their former label and with few of their key members about to jump ship to form THE BLOOD DIVINE, this recording was seemingly doomed to fail. It thus remained locked up in the vault for over twenty-one years, the band having decided ultimately to shelve it and quickly record and release the V Empire, Dark Faerytales In Phallustein EP instead, before committing to tape another version of this album with a revamped line-up and new arrangements.

Having heard the fans’ plea, Dani Filth finally agreed to issue it officially for the first time in 2016 after remastering it with the help of famed producer and longtime collaborator Scott Atkins (AMON AMARTH, VADER, GAMA BOMB, BENEDICTION).

The LP comes with a 12-page 12" booklet incl. new liner-notes by Olivier ‘Zoltar’ Badin, a double sided A2 poster and a download-card.

This killer live recording was recorded in France during "The World Panzer Battle Tour". Originally released via Regain Records, this killer Marduk live show is finally made available again on Back On Black.

The Crestfallen was Anathema's debut release for Peaceville and contained re-worked tracks from the legendary All Faith Is Lost demo in addition to new material.

Although sounding very different from what Anathema became, The Crestfallen clearly shows a band with an exceptional grasp of melody and atmosphere.

The brooding doom-heavy compositions and poetic landscapes effortlessly fluctuate between brutality (accentuated by the 'growled' vocals of then singer Darren White) and beauty on tracks such as The Sweet Suffering and the now classic They Die.

The Crestfallen set the stage for Anathema's debut full-length LP Serenades, which further expanded upon the band's singular approach and displayed a body of influences that stretched well beyond the confines of Metal.

The Crestfallen was recorded at Academy Studios (Paradise Lost, My Dying Bride, etc) in 1992, and was produced by Keith Appleton.

This edition is presented on 180g heavyweight black vinyl.

Featuring tons of pics and liner notes & quotes from Hellhammer, Necrobutcher, Maniac and Blasphemer.
Experience the chaotic return to the stage after an even more turbulent era which almost everything has been said and written about.
With the ‘Wolf’s Lair Abyss’ EP around the corner the then new line up of Hellhammer, Necrobutcher, Maniac and Blasphemer geared up to not only return with newly recorded material but also bringing the unmatched black metal live to the stage.
Whereas the sound on most of these live recordings can be classified as decent to good the technology aged less at some parts (specifically on "Ancient Skin" and "Buried by Time and Dust"). They still belong to this release in all their rawness.
This timeless audio document takes you on a journey living the dark past, with all its aggression and flaws, yet authentic and unpolished.
