[citation needed] From the Cradle to Enslave contains two original compositions: the title track and "Of Dark Blood and Fucking".

From the Cradle to Enslave was released on 30 October 1999 by record labels Music for Nations (Europe) and Metal Blade (US).

It was directed by Alex Chandon, who would go on to produce further promo clips and DVD documentaries for the band, as well as the full-length feature film Cradle of Fear.

The video features explicit images of nudity and gore[6] and was released in two versions, one edited (supposedly to make it MTV-friendly) and one uncut.

[7] The DVD also includes a "Making-of" documentary and a short live show, recorded at the London Astoria on 5 June 1998.
