A remarkable band from England that combines various genres of metal, but especially black metal and symphonic metal, as surely seen on their recent CD titled "Nymphetamine." Their writing is extremely deep, and throws references at subjects such as Evil, fantasy, mythology, love, despair, and darkness. Dani is a great screamer, live and on CD.
I love me some Cradle of Filth and their pounding, heavy metal style mixed with black metal
an english black/melodic/gothic metal band consisting of 10-27 members. toxic "true" metalheads call them mainstream, but they arent. referred to by richmond from The IT Crowd.
Jen: "Cradle of Filth-I presume thats a band." Richmond: "mm" Jen: "They arent literally a cradle of filth, are they?" Richmond: "Oh no, that would be horrible."
Here's the way I see it. Cradle of Filth are british (well, not all the members but COF was formed in britain and Dani is british and most of the origional members were british so they are british). And British metal bands like to do things slightly differently than American metal bands. Take Iron Maiden for example, they were around the same time as Metallica, they are both Heavy Metal bands and yet sound very different. Cradle Of Filth are a British version of Death / Black Metal. Their music and themselves has all the qualities a black / death metal band needs to to be picky why don't we called them BBM / BDM (british black / death metal). Anyway, I think COF are an amazing band, just discovered them 6 months ago and allready I am well into their music. I started by listening to songs like: Presents From The Poison Hearted, Her Ghost In The Fog, Saffron's Curse and Cruelty Bought Thee Orchids. I recommend COF to anyone who is into gothic type music and lyrics, someone who into bands from HIM to Slipknot could like COF. Hell! I am into many different bands and still like COF, amoungst my CD collection is: iron maiden, white / rob zombie, marilyn manson, HIM, slipkot, s.o.a.d, disturbed, murderdolls. so this just shows that wotever type of metal you're into there's always a place for Cradle Of Filth in your collection who are currently at the top of my CD pile :)
Nymphetamine is coming this September ! ! ! that's just 2 months ! ! !
Lovely, cuddly, somewhat Gothic band, who dont take themselves too seriously. Hence, they are hated by "real" black metal fans because they do things like having a laugh, instead of being "credible" and burning down churches in sweden or something
Dimmy Bugaboo fan: " my favorite band look like Kiss and produce humourless sludge while trying to be scary!" BLLOOORRRRPPP!!!! (implodes under weight of own pseud-ness)
A good band... I wouldn't consider them as black metal, because it's more symphonic. They have tons of cd's, and Dani filth is motherfucken hot! Their new cd nymphetamine came out, and it's pretty damn good. If you like cradle of filth also check out Dimmu Borgir Nightwish and Children of bodom
Six feet deep is the incision In my heart, that barless prison Discolours all with tunnel vision Sunsetter Nymphetamine Sick and weak from my condition This lust, a vampyric addiction To her alone in full submission None better Nymphetamine ~Nymphetamine Cradle of filth
A really great black metal band from England. They have really great guitars, haunting keyboard solos and best of all they have anti-christian lyrics inspired by 14th century gothica. I'm waiting for them to go on tour because I hear they kick some major fucking ass.
