This album, released exactly on Halloween of the year 2000, represents the beginning of Cradle of Filth's commercial era. A bitter disappointment for me, great for some other people. Don't get me wrong, I think that this album is anything but bad, but it's simply softer, more Gothic orientated than I would like. OK, let's descend into Midian. Read more ›› |

Just like to say that while I haven't sat through the entire album, I love Her Ghost In the Fog. Those really soft, slow sections with the whispers and the "Queen of snow" vocal parts are amazingly creepy. Shame I've never really enjoyed much else of theirs too much.

Has parts which could make it an absolute masterpiece of an album. Contains some of the Cradle's best songs. Unfortunately, the first part of the album is sometimes underwhelming. Still a 10 for me. Just not perfect.

A great album! Consistently strong songs from start to finish with plenty of original ideas and a haunting atmosphere rivalling some of the black metal greats.

I remember back in the early 2000's when I wanted to get into Cradle of Filth and asked a friend for a recommendation, he gave me this album. I think Midian is still their best overall. Her Ghost in the Fog is my favourite CoF song to this day.

"Her Ghost In The Fog" is definitely the best song COF have done IMHO. This is a great album, and probably my second favorite release of theirs, though I've always preferred Dusk And Her Embrace overall.
