What are your favorite songs about Elisabeth Bathory? Mine:

Bathory - Woman of Dark Desires
Tormentor - Elisabeth Bathory
Venom - Countess Bathory
 
Well that pretty much covers all the ones worth mentioning eh. Though I'm sure Countess wrote a song or two about her.
 
I just had a great idea...Countess should make an UBER KVLT 10" single of a song that he writes about the Countess on side ERZABET and cover those three songs on side BATHORI. That would be pretty kickass. He's already covered Countess Bathory.

Not sure but they do have a song about her. I've never heard it though. I can't imagine it's too impressive...

Cruelty and the Beast, and despite what the metal mafia will tell you, it's kind of fan in a maiden meets hammer horror kind of way.
 
She'd still be alive if the government didn't come down on her for all the murders.

If I'm correct the Cradle of Filth album "Dusk and Her Embrace" is about Elisabeth Bathory (or could I be thinking about Crueltly and the Beast?).

Actually Cruelty and the Beast is the concept album about Elisabeth Bathory but the title track to Dusk... and Her Embrace also mentions her.

I may have to check it out. And don't worry about the metal mafia, I couldn't care less what they say about any band.

Yes do so, it is an excellent album as are the first 4 Cradle releases.

Cruelty is a good album, but the drum sound is complete shit. And there is also a song about Countess Bathory on Dusk and Her Embrace.

Interestingly I've heard that Nick Barker complained about his drum sound on that album. Personally I kind of like it but I can see why others do not.
