Midian

by Cradle of Filth

Midian cover art

Inspired by Clive Barker's novel 'Cabal', the British extreme metal outfit crafted an incredibly bombastic, highly theatrical conceptual work centered on an underground society of monsters. The record features a notably polished production, leaning heavily into lush symphonic keyboards, gothic choirs, and spoken-word narration by actor Doug Bradley.
