Cradle Of Filth

Quote :

Cradle of Filth is an extreme metal band, formed in Suffolk, United Kingdom in 1991. The band consists of Dani Filth (vocals), Paul Allender (guitars), Charles Hedger (guitars), Dave Pybus (bass), Sarah Jezebel Deva (backing vocals), Rosie Smith (keyboards), and Martin Skaroupka (drums).

In 1994, Cradle of Filth was signed to Cacophonous Records, on which they released their first album “The Principle of Evil Made Flesh”. Cacophonous also pressed the “Vempire or Dark Faerytales In Phallustein” EP in 1996. After this the band were signed to Music For Nations, for whom they produced three of their most prominent full length CD’s to date: “Dusk and Her Embrace”, “Cruelty and the Beast”, and “Midian”. The “From the Cradle to Enslave” EP and a compilation dubbed “Bitter Suites to Succubi” also featured many original songs, as well as some covers and re-recordings of old songs. Then in 2003, they signed to Sony and released only one album on this record label, “Damnation and a Day”. At the beginning of 2004 however, they left Sony and signed to Roadrunner records, through which they released the albums “Nymphetamine” (2004) and their latest “Thornography” (2006). They also have their own label Abracadaver on which “Bitter Suites to Succubi” was released. They hope to sign bands to this label in the near future. On Sept 27th 2008 Roadrunner Records and Cradle of Filth made available an MP3 download for “Tragic Kingdom” the first sample of the upcoming album “Godspeed on the Devil’s Thunder” due to be released in October.

Cradle of Filth is also known for doing covers such as: Hallowed Be Thy Name, Sodomy and Lust, Black Metal, For Those Who Died,No Time to Cry, Bestial Lust (Bitch), Sleepless, Devil Woman, Mr. Crowley, Temptation,Death Comes Ripping and Halloween 2.

I love them, though their lyrics are a bit heavy and too dark for me sometimes. But they have songs, that can really touch your heart. My favorites are : Burn in a burial gown,Gabriele, Saffron's curse, Suicide and other Comforts and the new one - The Death of Love.

And the thing, that I really like about Cradle of Filth, that they're really professional musicians and the language..ahh...They have such a GREAT english language. I'm sure, that not even professors in university can't speak this sort of english language.

Dani has 3 major degrees in English literature and language! He's amazing and so talented. *daydreams*

He is not only talented, he is also educated!!! That's so rare now.. =)

I can only agreed! Plus he's very, very good looking

Although he is a bit short xD
But I agree, I like his appereance too

He's a little smaller than me! I met him in a juice bar and he's really nice. *dances*
He has the nicest eyes too.

I was just wondering, am I the only one that likes Temptation? The cover of the Heaven17 classic that is.

Oh,i like Temptation too.^^

But i'm kinda more in love with the earlier works.Especialy The Cruelty And The Beast.
Venus in Fear gives me chils...

No-no! I also like Temptation =) And I like the video, it is soo beautiful and weird at the same time

Hmm.. I love earlier albums also more, especially "Midian"..
But "The Death of Love" from the last one (or was is it not in the last album???) turns me inside out, so much I like it!

Yes,TDOL is from Godspeed On The Devil's Thunder.
And i love it too.

They must be one of my favourite bands ever, i missed them live last summer because of my dad and i promise I WILL MAKE HIM PAY one day
