Cradle of Filth released a CD/DVD combo titled Eleven Burial Masses.

Other CD titles of this veteran black metal group include Vestal Masturbation, Principal of Evil Made Flesh and their latest release, Thornography, about which the band says:

"Just as the gravel-lined, turd-stained streets of urban England gave heavy metal to the world back in the late ‘60s, so that small country with the big voice continues to be the place where the world’s finest dark metal band rest their weary, alcohol-ravaged heads after another sonic killing spree. Love them, hate them or both, Cradle Of Filth is back again to fondle you while slitting your throat. Thornography has arrived."

Cradle of Filth was influenced in the early 1990s by the black metal hero Varg Vikernes whose spree of murder and church burning inspired a generation of mentally ill teenagers with what might be charitably called musical talent to slather on corpse paint and start banging out paeans to everyone (or thing) from Satan to the old Norse gods.

Here is a video from Cradle of Filth. Beware this video contains unrealistic and badly done depictions of murder and cannibalism.
