Waiting the same "treatment" for Vempire :)

The song that got me into this band
I heard this track on a late night metal radio show waiting for the DJ to say the name of the band and the rest is history
🤘😈🤘

Иван Грозный that was it

@Creighton Chaney 1941 Phoenix?

Иван Грозный I’ve spent some time there

@Creighton Chaney 1941 me too.

Иван Грозный Rock on 🤘😈🤘

God's these remastered songs are amazing...!!!
I was in the Marines when this album came out...
This is how these amazing songs are supposed to, sound like..!
It's like listening to them for the 1st time again...

Love this track...forgot how much. Love those drums

yeah man it fucken changes everything.

desire
in
violent
overtures

a
will
of
fire
and
virulent
imagination

Ok, I have been listening to my favorite songs from this remaster all week but completely forgot about this track - which is one of the finest off the entire album. This sounds great. Almost immaculate.

these drum blasts are identifiable as Nick's work.

Literally the best track on the album next to Bathory Aria and it's sitting at 5k views. Smh, this right here is a fucking underappreciated MASTERPIECE.
This was also the first song I've ever heard by them. It truly is re-mistressed.

This is pretty much Lock Up.

Ummm... Not even remotely close. Do you have an intellectual disability, or something?

@I Am Me Don't try to be too hip.

@Stellar Cubic Beam - Don't try to be so wrong.

@I Am Me don't worry, he's obviously a faggot. raped by a priest

The asylum, has yellow crayons too

Wow terrible!!!

Can you explain why?

@Spooky Mulder I find it to be a worthy successor.
This is coming from a guy who got hooked to the band because of the original version of this song.

sounds great.

Loving the bass and drums

Sounds more "metal" but less "eerie". The atmosphere and creepiness of the original is a bit lost here.

Totally agree

environmental ambiance is sacrificed for a better sounding album. which is the point.

Now THIS one is a good re-master.

Unlike Cacophonous' shameful treatment of Dusk and Her Embrace in 2017, this is an actual remaster that will have me rediscovering one of the albums that got me into black metal years ago, for days to come.

Now we are talking...

My fucking puberty re-mistressed!! And Nick...Oh my god Nick!

I’m crying

Awesome !!! 🤘 🦇

100%black metal 😈😈😈

dont they consider themselves extreme metal?

@sheepnoisebah - Yeah. Bryan doesn't know what he's talking about.

"Black metal" is like the first Mayhem album, or In The Nightside Eclipse by Emperor, and even then I wouldn't call either 100% blackmetal. Cradle Of Filth is not blackmetal, but ghey have a lot of elements of it.

@I Am Me i think its apt to say the early days like this is heavily rooted in black metal but its english. an english / victorian take on black metal

@pepe6666 - Heavily rooted in blackmetal (the first 4 albums)? Yes, absolutely. It's very influenced and inspired by blackmetal. 100%, NO.

They took blackmetal and crossed it with Iron Maiden-esque twin guitar attacks (back when they had two guitarists), as well as old hardcore punk and thrash. A lot of that is why I found them so catchy.

@I Am Me yeah true there's maiden in there. also explains the maiden and slayer covers. i like to think of them as a victorian black metal.

Nights came tralling ghost concertos
Heartstrings a score of skeletal reaper bows
Playing torture chamber music allegretto
conducting overtures over throes crushed to crescendo

Skinless the dark shall scream
Hoarse Her symphonies

Deathmashed as the moon
That had lifted Her dreams
And frowned on the winding steps down
To where the vulgar strayed,
Taunting sick Her tender prey
She glided in Her bridal gown

How sleep the pure
Desire in Violent Overture

An emanation of phantom madness
The Countess beheld in shroud
By girls bereft of future vows
Soon to wed in white the frosted ground
Burning like a brand on the countenance of god
A yearning took Her hand to His Seraphim, bound

Deep red hissed the cat whips
On the whim of ill-will
Whilst She entranced, nonchalant, abliss
Flayed further songs of overkill

How weep the pure
Desire in Violent overture

In a crescent-whime cellar of crushed roses
Pooled blood and broken dolls
A torchlit shadow theatre souled
With the echoed cries of lives She stole

Killing time
She struck the hours dead
In Her control
Thus menopaused
Her clock of hacked out cunts
Began to toll

"Thirteen chimes of ancient strain
I conjure forth with dirge
That fills the void with timbred pain
To fulfil my sexual urge"

Frights came wailing from the Darkside
Haunting lipless mouths a fugue of arcane diatribes
Velvet, their voices coffined Her in slumber
Bespattered and appeased
As pregnant skies outside bore thunder

How sleep the pure
Desire in violent overture

As when high winds
Attune whipped trees
Her savage nature pitched
Would once again conduct the pleas
Of those She loved to agonies

As if it were
The first time every night
That She carved Her seal
In the flesh of life.

Ray Revolta the 4th line is “conducting overtures over throes crushed to crescendo”

@Frieza Cold Thanks for pointing that out.

Ray Revolta not a problem and thank you so much for posting the lyrics. I was about to do it and you already did it for me! Brilliant!

"Conducting overtures over throes thrashed to crescendo"

This is how I always imagined it sounding when listening to the original 😂

Absolutly, yeah

Ok this new mix change everything, the whole experience! I was 13 when I first heard that album, 11 when I bought « The principle of evil made flesh » an album that changed my life.

The same year ( 2000 ) I bought « Dusk & her embrace » which I also deeply adored.

And then me & my friends took « Cruelty.... » the cross version album. We were stunned by the design, the pictures, the whole Elizabeth Bathory concept. Everything was more than fine until we listened to the album....the mix is absolutely awful, the drumming my goodness...it attack the ears, you can’t hear the bass etc...

And it’s a shame because musically speaking, this album is a masterpiece....

So finally they gave this album the mix it deserved....

Dusk and Her Embrace was an absolute revelation for me. I've never heard anything atmospheric like that ever. I was 13.

My first hymel onslaught was with this album!

OMG FINALLLLY
TNQ DANI
TNQ COF
TNQ ALLLLLL
