It was released on 5 May 1998 by record label Music for Nations. ContentCruelty and the Beast is a concept album based on the legend of the Hungarian "blood countess" Elizabeth Báthory. The album features guest narration on certain passages by Ingrid Pitt in-character as Báthory, a role she first played in the Hammer film Countess Dracula in 1971. Recording and productionThis was the last Cradle of Filth full-length album to feature guitarist and songwriter Stuart Anstis, keyboardist Lecter and drummer Nicholas Barker. The production and mixing for Cruelty and the Beast has attracted some criticism, particularly for the sound quality of the drumming.[1] Sarah Jezebel Deva revealed on the band's official messageboards: "[The production is] absolute rubbish. I remember when I first heard it — Dani played it — I walked out with tears in my eyes. I had spent twenty-five hours working in the studio on that album and it sounded like I had my head in a toilet [...] most of my vocals you couldn't hear."[1] After walking out of the room after Dani played it to her, she claimed to have bumped into drummer Nicholas Barker, who also expressed his dissatisfaction.[1] A completely remixed and remastered re-release of the album has been confirmed for its 20th anniversary in late 2018. The only bonus track to feature will be the cover of "Hallowed Be Thy Name".[2] ReleaseReleased on 5 May 1998 by record label Music for Nations, Cruelty and the Beast reached number 48 in the UK Albums Chart.[3] The album was reissued in a two-disc Special Edition by Koch in 2001 and by The End in 2012.[4] Reception{{Album ratings| rev1 = AllMusic | rev1score = {{Rating|4|5}}[5] | rev2 = Chronicles of Chaos | rev2score = 8/10[6]}} The album ranked tenth in Kerrang!'s list of the top ten "essential black metal" albums in 2000.[7] Track listing{{Track listing| all_lyrics = Dani Filth | all_music = Cradle of Filth (Filth, Stuart Anstis, Gian Pyres, Robin Eaglestone, Les Smith and Nicholas Barker) | title1 = Once Upon Atrocity | length1 = 1:43 | note1 = instrumental | title2 = Thirteen Autumns and a Widow | length2 = 7:14 | title3 = Cruelty Brought Thee Orchids | length3 = 7:18 | title4 = Beneath the Howling Stars | length4 = 7:42 | title5 = Venus in Fear | length5 = 2:20 | note5 = instrumental | title6 = Desire in Violent Overture | length6 = 4:16 | title7 = The Twisted Nails of Faith | length7 = 6:50 | title8 = Bathory Aria"
