The Principle of Evil Made Flesh is the debut studio album by English extreme metal band Cradle of Filth. It was released on 24 February 1994 through Cacophonous Records, following three demos released between 1991 and 1993. The album's sound is significantly more raw than on subsequent releases, and frontman Dani Filth's vocals differ from his later style and technique. The album is a then-unusual hybrid of gothic metal and black metal.
Some of Principle's tracks were later re-recorded for V Empire, Bitter Suites to Succubi and Midnight in the Labyrinth.
The album was reissued in 2012 by The End Records.
