cradle of filth

[xIx roxy girl xIx]

what do you guys think of cradle of filth? i just listened to dusk and her embrace and i was blown away..i cant really listen to too much of them in one sitting haha..but i think they are extremely talented.

[Kwash2]

Nymphetamine has a killer chorus.

That's the only good thing I've ever found in any of their music.

[RNR]

Might as well have titled this "Nymphetamine" because that's the only thing that they've done that has much value to it.

*gets *** beat by fanboys*

That song kicks asre

[xIx roxy girl xIx]

wow that was really fast ...i posted it and 3 minutes later theirs two responses...haha musicianforums is awesome

[RNR]

Yeah, theres so many posters that I get mad when I make a thread and in a minute it doesn't have any replies.

[omgwtfboogie]

I have a mild liking for them. Except for when the singer just won't shut the **** up. His voice annoys the bejesus out of me.

[6COF6ATG6]

i reallly like COF they're quickly becoming one of my favourite bands. i bought tickets for a COF concert a while ago but i was mainly going to see arch enemy but now im really excited to see both AE and COF

awesome possum...tell me how it is

[BoboTheRagingHobo]

I am just going to say I love Cradle Of Filth, and I frankly don't care if you detest my taste in music. I have gotten sick of trying to defend them from the mindless "l0OLsz! cradle is teh suxx0rsz! l00l!" type of comments.

[xIx roxy girl xIx]

"l0OLsz! cradle is teh suxx0rsz! l00l!"

hmm..can someone translate that to english for me?

[BoboTheRagingHobo]

hmm..can someone translate that to english for me?


It pretty much means some one is an idiot, that is the simplest I could put it.

[RNR]

Yup, that's the standard way to show that the person who you're quoting is an idiot.

So? How 'bout that Nymphetamine? Yup that Nymphetamine sure is good. Yup yup.

[MetalNightBodomNight]

cradle of filth is a decent band far from the best but the music has some substance to it.

[Lord Hypnos]

Cradle of Filth are a wicked awsome band and Dani has an incredible voice. Cruelty and the Beast is a brilliant album.

[^Dream~Theater^]

Cradle is a awesome band, and Dani..well he has an amazing voice.
Goin to see Cof/Ae soon, It's gonna own!

[PunkerBitch]

I'm headed to the Headbangers Ball tour in ONE WEEK! F'uckin rights! (and by the way Nymphetamine is definately not their best song and their most talented album. I really love it, but you have to appreciate the older music too. It rocks my socks.)

[LeperAffinity]

Yup, that's the standard way to show that the person who you're quoting is an idiot.

So? How 'bout that Nymphetamine? Yup that Nymphetamine sure is good. Yup yup.
To each their own, but I can't stand that cd. The title track is the only one I can actually listen to. They've been steadily going downhill since Midian.

[Magicaltroll]

yeah i like thier earlier stuff alot.. i still like the newer stuff alot
nympetamine was a letdown for me.... it wasnt that great imo

[xFourStringGrenadex]

My cousin has been driving their music into my head for years now, and still nothing has totally clicked! I like some of their stuff, but most of the time I get bored and annoyed. The old stuff was much better.

[Griffin_Page]

I'm glad you heard Dusk and Her Embrace first. That is where the black metal still existed. I dig it all, just this new one so much.. just not my kinda music.

[ninjamonkey]

What. the. Hell?

I had the impression just about everyone at mx hated them.

[DeadDani]

I find that the reason some have trouble understanding CoF is on 2 things: vocals and lyrics. Indeed I appreciate their early work, but I am personaly grateful Dani expanded his vocal capabilities, rather than sticking to a single repetitive vocal key and half-growl, half-yell. Had he the band wouldn't have gone far after The Priciple's of Evil Made Flesh. For those who don't understand pick up Principle's, listen and you'll get my point. Now on the lyrics spectum, Dani's subject matter changes with each song and/or album. Most of the inspiration comes from from events/people/things he has read about and studied, some based on fact,factual, and fiction information. ****ation's focus was of Lucifer's expultion from Heaven and what he experienced in the aftermath, Cruelty was based around the life of the Hungarian Countes Elizabeth Bathory, after which she was believed to have been transformed to a vampire, and history has a rather brutal memory of her deads in the search for eternal youth, Principle's,Dusk, Midian, and Suciubi are mosty based upon myths and legends he read about, and I believe a few on some true incidents. Who knows. Anyone wishing to further pursue looking for the motive for his lyrics, study and memorize names mentioned, go into a search engine and type in the names and see what you come up with, and if you really want to shine this new insight then put it in this forum so mabye people willl come to understand and maybe even appreciate the past and Cof. Hopefully this will stop some people blindly critizing CoF until they actually know what the hell there talking about, then say what they want.

Comment, anyone?

[Lord Abortion]

very true
also gilles de rai (sp.?) who was a supposed vampire is mentioned in a couple of songs
"he lets me prey
a gilles de rai of light
where faith leads truth astray"
cradle are the most literate band I know and their subject matter is always v. interesting and poetic
anyone who reads H.P lovecraft will recognise the subjects

any U.K tour dates to support Nymphetamine?
need to see them
anyone going to see them in the U.S please review the gig!!!

[dirge for november]

i dont like danis voice. it gets irritating.

Comment, anyone?


i'm so happy to read this,
it also increases my interest on the filthy cradle!
gd work deaddani! nice nice

[badger_badger]

I liked the Cradle of Filth cover of Fear of the Dark... if you havn't heard it I recommend downloading it.

[crossface]

cradle of filth quickly became my favorite after a short while listening to their music.

cof questions:
what happened to Danni filths skin? plastic surgery? i saw something like that on dimmu borgir vocalist

is it true that Danni Filth is a writer? what are some books by him? where does he get inspiration for writing books and song lyrics?

/meh shouts CTHULHU DAWN!!!

[Yppolitia]

I have never listened to much of thier music, the only song i have heard is Nymphetamine which i thought was a great song.

/meh shouts CTHULHU DAWN!!!
his influences are H.P LOVECRAFT novels which are amazingly good horror stories
and his skin is makeup not surgery the dvd heavy, left handed and candid shows cof behind the scenes and it is the ****ing funniest thing ever

oh and;
shatter the stars in their lunimosity with catharsis of the soul!

[national_chaos_jolliffe]

they are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good!!!!

Nymthetamine 4eva!

(i hope thats how u spell it hehehhe)

[LegionsofMarduk]

They've gone way down since Midian. The newer stuff is OK, but no where near as good as Principle of Evil Made Flesh. Although I haven't heard Nymphetamine yet.

[LordDargon]

they are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good!!!!

Nymthetamine 4eva!

(i hope thats how u spell it hehehhe)
You just turned me off ever listening to this band.

[Raven666]

I dressed myself up to look like dani for halloween. i scared alot of kids and one of them ran screaming don't rape me :confused: but yeah it was fun. but getting to the band. i love COF and i really do like the newest album. i can agree that nymphetamine is an excellent song but the rest of the album is great i suggest you look into it.

[RetiredAt21]

The only Cradle of Filth albums that I really care for are The Principle of Evil Made Flesh, Dusk and Her Embrace, and Dark Faery Tales In Phallustein. Dani's voice really irritates me, but I think they are all talented musicians (especially the drummer), and they really have some great songs. My favorite songs are The Principle of Evil Made Flesh, Dusk and Her Embrace, and Funeral in Carpathia.

[we all gonna die!]

I think they are an amazing band. The stuff I've heard is great I've heard at least one song from each album and I own Midian, Live Bait For The Dead, ****ation And A Day and Nymphetamine and I love them all hopefully cof will do a UK tour soon like Dave Pybus said better not be lying. :angry:

if you like the drummer from post midian stuff you should look itno one of his other bands which dissolved around 1996 called at the gates they are the best melodic death metal imo

[RetiredAt21]

Was that Nicholas Barker? He was in Old Mans Child too right?

[Nalphe]

now dimmu borgir

btw, cradle's adrian isn't that bad, huh??

[InFlames.KsE]

I have a mild liking for them. Except for when the singer just won't shut the **** up. His voice annoys the bejesus out of me.

THANK YOU..haha

[InFlames.KsE]

You just turned me off ever listening to this band.


Agreed

[omgwtfboogie]

Pwned.

Prolly not missing much, really...

[LeperAffinity]

Was that Nicholas Barker? He was in Old Mans Child too right?
Post-Midian was Adrian Erlandsson(sp?). Barker played from Cruelty and earlier.

[Griffin_Page]

THANK YOU..haha

You listen to Killswitch Engage. That terminates your ability to judge music, whatsoever.


Yeah, I thought everyone here hated Cradle... I've loved them, they are an excellent band.. I'm not at all into Nymphetamine.. but their black metal days are ****ing amazing.. as is the Cruelty-Midian period. Awesome stuff.

[bassaholica2004]

I don't like em. Mostly its like Slipknot- all the fanboys running around saying how good and talented they are, how they are the most evil thing to ever exist, and so on. The actual band is pretty bad too. I mean, people are calling them Vampire Metal. WTF? Thats stupider than all the -core genres, IMO. And as far as talent goes, belive me, there are WAY more talented and better bands our there.

Dimmu I don't really mind. I don't like them, but I don't hate them either. They're just up there with all the other Symphonic BM I don't listen to. From what I have heard of them, they sound like your average Symphonic BM band, which is cool. I know a lot of people are sliding away from them for becoming more Mainstream, but I think thats cool. At least they don't try to pass themselves off as "Vampire Metal" :lol:

[SomethingUnSacryd]

I'm not too much into these guys but I absolutely love their cover of Hallowed Be Thy Name and Fear of the Dark. Dani's voice is like Everclear, should only be taken in small to moderate doses.

[xizoesira]

now dimmu borgir

btw, cradle's adrian isn't that bad, huh??

He's alright. His brother is better.

[Bertovo]

Cradle of Filth, in my opinion, ruined two perfectly good Iron Maiden songs.

So if I ever see Dani Filth, his groin is going to meet my foot.

[kevbud187]

dinner at dieveant's place is freaky backwards

[screech_freeman2]

[COLOR=DarkOliveGreen]Cradle of Filth is the bomb not only are they the best mainstream death metal band but they have been around since the 90's they have many cds all of which i love they get better every album that comes out. :evil:

[Lord Abortion]

possibly mainstream black metal
not death...

[LordDargon]

:lol:

CoF fans are almost as bad as "maggots"! What kind of stupid name will they come up for themselves... Craggots? Faggots?

[Raven666]

COF is most definately not the most evil band out there. but you gotta admit they aren't half bad. i can say they aren't my favorite band out there but they do deserve some respect

i agree the whole vampire metal is a little chezzy and that there are more talented bands out there but they have some cool melodies with the integration of the keyboards plus i really like their drumming. that doesn't mean that people cant like bands because they are becoming slightly mainstream plus there is always gonna be a more talented band but if everyone listened to music based on maximum talent we would all be just listening to the guitar gods like micheal angelo, yngwie, steve vai etc..

[Nostalgia]

i like nymphetamine alot but not to much of there older stuff i like danis voice some more when it goes higher. But i still think they did ruin hell awaits by slayer.

[bassaholica2004]

Yeah, I mean I'm not saying you guys suck for liking CoF, or your music taste sucks. Different people like different things, though I bet if you knew more bands you would probably come to see why people here don't really like CoF. And I don't really have a problem with bands becoming mainstream. Some of my favorite bands are really mainstream (Metallica, Slayer, Morbid Angel, Emperor, so on).

[BoboTheRagingHobo]

I love Cradle Of Filth as I have stated before, but Graveworm > CoF. I highly suggest anyone who likes Cradle to check them out, along with people who dislike Dani's vocals, check them out as well.

[Doobie2]

Cradle of Filth, in my opinion, ruined two perfectly good Iron Maiden songs.

So if I ever see Dani Filth, his groin is going to meet my foot.

no way man their iron maiden covers are friggin amazing. they added that much-needed sense of atmosphere with their keyboard work.

[kredkeee!]

Sorry for being a bit off-topic but ive already posted a thread about it and no one answered. Who is the song Nevermore (teoretically #12 on Midian) by? Who really wrote and sang it? Does anyone here know? Ive got it on my Midian version (which is said to be copied from the original).......... plz answer

[Bertovo]

no way man their iron maiden covers are friggin amazing. they added that much-needed sense of atmosphere with their keyboard work.

The violen (I think) at the begining of Fear of the Dark was pretty cool, I'll give them that, but...

1) Dani can't sing.
2) Hallowed be thy Name shouldn't have an organ in it.
3) The guitars at the very begining of the Fear the Dark are waaaay too unclear/distorted than they should be.
4) The vocals should be some what understandible. I have nothing against screaming or "black metal" vocals, but Fear of the Dark shouldn't sound like "Fee arrry ahhhh!"
5) Never put bag pipes in an Iron Maiden song.
6) I hate you Dani.

[Lord Abortion]

liked the hallowed cover
didnt like the fear one much
did you hear on the special edition of nymphetamine coming out
they cover ozzy's mr crowley on the extra tracks

[Deathcrush]

I am just going to say I love Cradle Of Filth, and I frankly don't care if you detest my taste in music. I have gotten sick of trying to defend them from the mindless "l0OLsz! cradle is teh suxx0rsz! l00l!" type of comments.

People say don't ever say that. Ever. They do say that they don't like them, or even that they hate them, though. Does that make them mindless? No.

Ahh, I see you like me fell for the Cradle Of Filth - Fear Of The Dark thing.
Cradle of Filth never covered Fear Of The Dark, on a lot of P2Ps it's listed as Cradle, but it is actually an italian band called Graveworm.
I like Graveworm's cover, except they didn't have the guitar solos, they did some bagpipe stuff:lol:
Fear oh ve DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!:lol:

wth...are u sure???? it sounds exactly like dani....and the violin thing and bagpipe stuff sounds like something cradle would do...

[MAGGOT_951753]

i find dani's vocals grow on you. at first they put me off a bit but now i love it. and dont get me wrong, i love slayer and maiden but i think cradle did those songs better, especially hell awaits. and what is this 'vampire metal' shiit? ive never, ever head of them pushing themselves as 'vampire metal'. some idiots just need to give everything a genre so someone coined the term

[MAGGOT_951753]

:lol:

CoF fans are almost as bad as "maggots"! What kind of stupid name will they come up for themselves... Craggots? Faggots?

so giving a name to a particular fanbase like "maggots" is stupid, but you give yourself a name like "LordDargon" the "Leader of the Black Horde" or whatever the f'uck it was? you must be so evil to have a name like that...

[Lord Abortion]

am i the only one who thinks cradle of filth music would probaly make good techno remixes...anyway theyre great

Yes, I agree. If anything, it's the Cradle fans that type like that, not the Cradle opposers.

[Filthy_Bastard]

what do you guys think of cradle of filth? i just listened to dusk and her embrace and i was blown away..i cant really listen to too much of them in one sitting haha..but i think they are extremely talented.

I love Cradle of Filth! They are my life! i listen to them everyday...i go to sleep to them! They are the best! I think the new album Nymphetamine sucked...read the lyrics from Cruelty and The Beast and compare them to Guilded Cunt. Its terrible. They changed there lyrics so much its almost intollerable. D4mnation and a Day fuked everything up. That cd sucked! i would have to say Midian was the best! All the cds behind d4mnation actually had stories behind all the lyrics, now its just doesnt make any sense.
WHY THE FUK WONT IT LET MY TYPE CURSE WORDS?

[BoboTheRagingHobo]

wth...are u sure???? it sounds exactly like dani....and the violin thing and bagpipe stuff sounds like something cradle would do...


Graveworm does the whole bag pipe things, not Cradle. And the lead singer for Graveworm can sound like Dani at times because he has the ability to scream very high almost like Dani, but can go much lower then him in the gutteral vocals.

[Oz Racing]

cradle is great especially the new cradle of filth!! the new cd is fantastci

[^Dream~Theater^]

The violen (I think) at the begining of Fear of the Dark was pretty cool, I'll give them that, but...

If you can't understand him screaming Fear Of The Dark, You need to open your **** ears up, its so easy.

[murderdoll666]

i love them

[hdrobot_mdp]

Nymphetamine has a killer chorus.

That's the only good thing I've ever found in any of their music.

I agree, that song is soooo awesome. Dimmu Borgir is pretty awesome too. Did you know that their drummer has the fastest double bass roll in the biz? 800 bpm! Amazing.

[wearer of socks]

They obviously have talent, but i find it hard to sit through a whole song. They have a lot of cool riffs and things like that, but i often find myself having to fast forward my cd to get there. They put on a really good show though and i respect them.

[LordDargon]

I agree, that song is soooo awesome. Dimmu Borgir is pretty awesome too. Did you know that their drummer has the fastest double bass roll in the biz? 800 bpm! Amazing.

800bpm is nothing, some guy can do 1024.
And Gary from the Berzerker owns him at snare/hat/tom drumming.

D*mn, this thread is overrun with goth wannabes.

Download the demos from Soulseek.
Now:evil:

[LordDargon]

Some guy can do 1407... but any extreme metal drummer can beat 800 no problem. What a bunch of idiots - the band, the label, and anyone who beleives they have the fastest drummer on earth.

Kiilerich is widely considered to be one of the most skilled speed/grind drummers around, having won the title "fastest feet in the world" with more than 800 hits on the pedals in one minute at the NAMM music convention in the U.S., according to published reports.
:lol: bullsh.it

[wanana]

I think they are good
I like te songs

Hallowed be thy name (iron maiden cover :thumb: )
Fear of the dark ( also maiden cover )
Nymphetamine

[Vitriolic Rage]

Did You Not Read? The Fear Of The Dark Is Covered By Graveworm, Not Cof!

[mattlikesmetal]

cradle of filth is great. I love dusk and her embrace. nymphetamine is a badass song to.

[Doobie2]

is 800 bpm even possible? wouldnt that just sound like a steady humming?

[MAGGOT_951753]

My name is a Star Wars character as well as a joke with some of my friends. My title is the name of a Krisiun song. GET A ****ING CLUE.

well the combination of cheesy name, cheesy title and picture of baphomet sure as hell make you like some evil-wannabe wanker
and its 6 numbers, not 5zillion. can you count to 6?

[LordDargon]

[XEveryTimeIDieX]

Cradle of Filth is probably my favorite black metal band. Cruelty and the Beast was a very good cd.

[Fat people are hard to kidnap]

Cradle of Filth...black metal?
bah!
try some bathory, or dissection, or suffocation for size.

but anyway, Cof isn't one of my favorite bands, but i must say, they do have some catchy riffs, but still, nothing special.

too bad they're mostly popular among mall-goths

[BassStabbed]

i dont like them at all, i cant stand Dani's voice at all, and whats up with the guest singer thing?

[Lord Abortion]

Cradle of Filth...black metal?
bah!

well cradle are one of my favourite bands but I also like Bathory, mayhem Graveworm, carpathian forest and Emperor
yours is an unfair generalisation I don't think I could be classed as a "mall goth"
but your username is incredibly funny...

[Fat people are hard to kidnap]

*ahem* i said MOSTLY popular among mall-goths...you know, those kids who think that because they shop at hot topic, they must be hardcore punk or goth.

take a look around, you might notice em.

and i never said anyone here was a mall-goth so shut it, worm

I know who you mean and I hate 'em too
so much so that I'm going to ignore the worm thing... for now

[Skin_Thinner]

I'd say that Cradle are amazing. very few death metal/black metal bands from europe break through to America like they and Dimmu Borigr did. Their guitarists rock too.

[Fat people are hard to kidnap]

I love Cradle of Filth! They are my life! i listen to them everyday...i go to sleep to them! They are the best! I think the new album Nymphetamine sucked...read the lyrics from Cruelty and The Beast and compare them to Guilded Cunt. Its terrible. They changed there lyrics so much its almost intollerable. D4mnation and a Day fuked everything up. That cd sucked! i would have to say Midian was the best! All the cds behind d4mnation actually had stories behind all the lyrics, now its just doesnt make any sense.
WHY THE FUK WONT IT LET MY TYPE CURSE WORDS?

**** those ****ing ****ers!!

you have to bribe the mods so they take off the blocker for you

[LordDargon]

is 800 bpm even possible? wouldnt that just sound like a steady humming?
To put this into perspective, listen to the famous drum break after the solo on Angel of Death. The bass drums there, and throughout the song, are going at approx. 840 bpm or strokes per minute... so Dimmu Borgir's drummer isn't doing anything that hasn't been done long before.

Cradle of Filth...black metal?
bah!
try some bathory, or dissection, or suffocation for size.
too bad they're mostly popular among mall-goths
Bathory are black metal(early) viking metal(later). Dissection are melodic death/black metal, and Suffocation are brutal death. pfft.

but anyway, Cof isn't one of my favorite bands, but i must say, they do have some catchy riffs, but still, nothing special.

too bad they're mostly popular among mall-goths


suffocation's death metal, right??

[^Dream~Theater^]

Did You Not Read? The Fear Of The Dark Is Covered By Graveworm, Not Cof!
FOTD cover is by cradle of filth, not graveworm you idiot. Your very stupid if you think otherwise.

[DeadDani]

COF is most definately not the most evil band out there. but you gotta admit they aren't half bad. i can say they aren't my favorite band out there but they do deserve some respect
I Indefinitely agree on the point of "not the most evil band out there." there is one band that can make almost every other band look tame. Anyone familiar with Mayhem? If you are then you know what I mean. If oyu don't then look up their history. Some morbidly interesting ****.

[kredkeee!]

i dont like danis voice. it gets irritating.
That's your opinion. I find it has really large scale and can sing in a very pleasant (for me) way.
There's also the kind of people who hate CoF whom i dont understand. Example: there's gonna be a big metal festival during March 2005. And CoF and Dimmu Borgir are said to be present there. So what i have read on one forum? things like: 'oh nooo, therz gona come lotsa stupid kids who think there goths they dont know what prop'r black metal is CoF and DB suxxxxx a$$!!!'
Those people like bands like Mayhem. Which is good except for what they are said to have done in the past. Can someone explain to what is so bad in Cradle that these people dislike?

What the hell? Suffocation... black metal? Bah ha ha!

Bathory and Dissection aren't the best examples either. Early Bathory was in the first wave, but no way definitive of what it is today.

[DeadDani]

am i the only one who thinks cradle of filth music would probaly make good techno remixes...anyway theyre great

There are two songs that have been remixed as such.
Twisting Further Nails (Based off of The Twisted Nails Of Faith)
Dance Macabre (Based off of Safron's Curse)
Both can be found on the Lovecraft and Witch Hearts compilation, on the WH cd.
Have fun if you get it.

[kredkeee!]

There are two songs that have been remixed as such.
Um. There's at least one more. It's called Pervert's Church and it's a remix of From the Cradle to Enslave... And it's 5 minutes of beatbeatbeatbeatbeatbeatbeatbeatbeatbeatbeatbeatbe atbeatbeatbeatbeatbeatbeatbeatbeatbeatbeatbeatbeat beatbeat... it gets annoying. But...:)

Danny Filth Is A Woman!!!

[kredkeee!]

Danny Filth Is A Woman!!!
1. That's Dani, not Danny.
2. You are the kind of a man who says things like 'CoF i5 a b@nd f0r n00bz and idi0ts!!!'. Grow up, man.
3. If you make such a stupid statement try to prove it somehow...

[Lord Abortion]

ok, he looks like a woman (not a very pretty 1 at that) and he sings incredibly high so that shows his lack of balls

[Lord Abortion]

he sings like that because he has practiced every day since he was 15 for hours
that's how you get your voice that good...

[kolin666]

you call that good??!!?? theres a difference between distinctive and good

[Lord Abortion]

yes I do It's incredible and possibly Inhuman
I am going to cover Lord abortion and Her Ghost... with my band and I find it impossible to sing it as well as he does

[LordDargon]

he sings like that because he has practiced every day since he was 15 for hours
that's how you get your voice that high-pitched and balless... Fixed.

[Lord Abortion]

Fixed.
ha ha :rolleyes: :rolleyes: ha

wel a can appreciate the instrumental parts and teh female voices, but danni's voice ruins it

[kredkeee!]

I wouldn't say anything bad about his voice. btw what REALLY ruins Her Ghost in the Fog is (on the music video) Sarah Jezebel Deva's face appearing a few times:) :thumb:

they're goth wanna-be...boring, and they think mahyem is far more evil ( it really is, i know)....u see, lot of ppl think that evil's cool....evil has a cool style, cool look, everybody's fear of it....and u're like the special one...

psst....i used to think like that before....and now, when i think back....it's childish...hahaha :thumb:

[kredkeee!]

I like Cradle. And also for the last few days i've been appreciating some downloaded music by mayhem, at the gates, emperor, gorgoroth and akercocke... Theyre quite similar in style, but Cradle seem more... seem to have deeper lyrics and artism in what they make their instruments (and throat :) ) sound like. um i'm 14 and those people i've mentioned are mostly about 20 years old. and they goquite a lot 'drinking beer is the best a metal gig gives' they're just annoying, and having knowledge of presence of such people close to me during those gigs will be quite... annoying. i know i'm a bit repetitive but i have a limited knowledge of English vocabulary:)
EDIT: haha 66th post... just 600 more... :rolleyes: :p

[MAGGOT_951753]

Well, your lack of capitalization, periods, and other forms of punctuation sure as hell make you look like a lazy **** who never bothered to pass grade school.
so now you say im ignorant and lazy because i dont bother to punctuate correctly on the internet? find something decent to give me **** about or **** off.. you lose

[LordDargon]

Well, if you don't bother to punctuate, you can't expect us to bother wading through the mass of characters you spew out to find the meaning of your post.

[Lord Abortion]

I love cradle
and
i love mayhem
do they have to be mutually exclusive?

[kredkeee!]

I love cradle
and
i love mayhem
do they have to be mutually exclusive?
No. I didn't mean this. I just see that a lot of people think Cradle is sell-out **** and Mayhem is sooo 'tr00 elitist evil blak norvegyan methul' and i don't understand them. Are they jealous their favourite band is not as popular? Or what? Whatever.

[Cannibalcorpse1626]

no mate they don't
NEXT!

[aliceInmywonderland]

:smash: So im not the brightest person ever but who is the chick singing in the Nymphetamine video?

[Luc214]

^ Liv Kristine.

[Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]

she has a beautiful voice i think,and along with his its a great song and video

[Luc214]

Yeah. While I'm a fan of Jezebel Deva's vocals, I CoF should use Liv's vocals more.

I love CoF. I have Nymphetamine, Damnation And A Day, and Cruelty And The Beast. I love them all, especially Cruelty, which I just got yesterday. It's so beautiful.

[Pale-Folklore]

i used to hate them for no reason

now i love them ;)

cruelty is awesome - i need to hear dusk and her embrace soon

[Luc214]

I think people hate them because they're very successful.

Alot of people seem to have the mindset that if a band makes alot of money, they automatically suck.

[Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]

what happened to the other cradle of filth thread,it was a bit larger than this one?

[Luc214]

Cradle of Filth, in my opinion, ruined two perfectly good Iron Maiden songs.

So if I ever see Dani Filth, his groin is going to meet my foot.


You can't ruin something that was already awful.

[TojesDolan]

what happened to the other cradle of filth thread,it was a bit larger than this one?
Hehe, apparently this kid lurked very, very deep into MX and dug up a 2 year old thread.

I'll communicate this to the mods or something to see what happens.
