Additional notes
Recorded in winter 1995/1996 at Academy Studios, Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, UK.
Mastered at The Exchange.
"V Empire" was hastily written and recorded as a contractual obligation from the band to get out of their Cacophonous contract.
Distributed in Germany by Nuclear Blast Records / East West.
Distributed in the U.K. by Draconis.
"The Forest Whispers My Name" is a re-recorded song, the original appears on The Principle of Evil Made Flesh album.
Comes with a 12-page booklet.
Stuart Anstis recorded all guitars for this release. The name "Jared Demeter" is credited in the liner notes to make it seem like two guitarists played on the EP.
From the liner notes of the booklet: "Jared Demeter appears as session musician on this recording courtesy of December Moon." Although December Moon is a real band that were based in Suffolk, they of course never included any member of the name "Jared Demeter".

V Empire, or Dark Faerytales in Phallustein Reviews
Date : 2012-07-17
뱀파이어의 자극적인 '성'의 미학을 밴드의 컨셉으로 취하고 있는 Cradle Of Filth의 두 번째 앨범 Vempire Or Dark Fairytales In Phallustein이다. 1991년 영국에서 결성되어 꾸준한 활동을 보인 Cradle Of Filth가 Melodic Black Metal의 정상에 우뚝서게끔 만들어준 명반으로 연주력, 구성등 흠잡을 부분이 거의 없으며 중세적인 음산함을 처절하고 적나라하게 표현해내고 있다. 특히, Dani Filth의 보컬은 Black Metal계에서 가히 최고라 할 만 카리스마를 뿜어내고 있다. 초기명곡 Queen Of Winter Throned등을 수록하고 있다.
Best Track : Queen Of Winter Throned , The Rape And Ruin Of Angels
