Dusk... and Her Embrace

Dusk... and Her Embrace is the second studio album by English extreme metal band Cradle of Filth. It was released on August 28, 1996. and is their first release on the label Music for Nations. Background Much of the material for the album was written while the band were still under Cacophonous Records' contract. Speaking to Ryan Bird of Kerrang! in 2008, Dani Filth remembered: Filth later told Kerrang! that the tone and content of the record was also partly the result of Cradle's isolation from the European black metal scene: The album climaxes with a guest speech from Venom's Cronos on the final track, "Haunted Shores".
