CRADLE OF FILTH Cruelty And The Beast Wall Flag
Cruelty and the Beast came out in 1998 and caused the kind of panic in suburban households that most bands can only dream of. A concept album about Elizabeth Báthory, all tremolo runs and Dani Filth vocals pitched somewhere between a banshee and a theology student having a breakdown. Completely deranged. Completely essential.
This official licensed wall flag runs the album artwork at a size that does justice to the sheer density of what's going on in it. Symphonic black metal and extreme gothic metal have always understood that maximalism is not a flaw, and Cruelty and the Beast is exhibit A. Hang it next to your Dimmu Borgir records or your horror collection, either works. This is UK extreme metal at the point where it became something genuinely its own thing, and the art reflects that with zero compromise.
Licensed textile print flag. 75cm tall x 110cm wide.
