Seeing its original release in 1996, 'Dusk…and Her Embrace' is stalwartly evergreen as an indelible etch on both sonic and cultural extremes. The album spurred a paradigmatic revolution in the black, gothic and symphonic metal scenes as the band shed a fledgling rawness of their early materials and became increasingly at home in their newfound proprietorship of the macabre. ​

Tracks including "Heaven Torn Asunder", "Funeral in Carpathia", "A Gothic Romance" and the epic title track remain cornerstones of the band's live setlist to this day,and remain firm fan favourites.
