Midian is the fourth studio album by Cradle of Filth, released on Halloween 2000. At the time it was considered their most commercial and accessible album to date. It is inspired by Clive Barker's novel Cabal and his subsequent film version Nightbreed, and Doug Bradley - who had a small role in the film but is better known as Pinhead from Barker's Hellraiser and its sequels — provides narration on some tracks. While keyboards remain prominent, Midian is more guitar-oriented than its predecessors. The cover art was created by JK Potter. Read more on Last.fm.
