Cradle Of Filth

[Shadows]

I've seen their live videos of them playing Cthulhu Dawn, it was pretty sweet.
They didn't play that live when I went to see them. :( That was one of the only disappointment, as it's one of my favorite CoF songs. They played a fair amount of songs from every album except D&HE, from which they played no songs, another big disappointment, as it's one of my favorite CoF albums.

But still, they played some amazing stuff like Nemesis, The Promise of Fever, Her Ghost in the Fog, The Principle of Evil Made Flesh, and Nymphetamine. I was actually pretty impressed by how much old stuff they played.

Did they play these three songs? Lord Abortion, The Forest Whispers My Name, Summer Dying Fast. If they did thats awesome, those are my 3 favorite songs by them. I bet Nemesis was awesome live too.

Oh, it was. :cool:

I don't think they played Lord Abortion (another one of my favorite CoF songs) but I'm pretty sure they played the other two.

[Thor]

Wow, that must have been an incredible show. I'm definetly going to see them the next time they come around. In the mean time, seeing Opeth and Nevermore will suffice. :thumb:

Yep, my seeing Amon Amarth and CoB will keep me going for a while too.

[Lord Abortion]

They didn't do summer dying fast or Lord Abortion when I saw them, they played the forest whispers my name though...

[Thor]

They didn't do summer dying fast or Lord Abortion when I saw them, they played the forest whispers my name though...
Yeah, I think Forest Whispers My Name is one of their more famous songs, if I am not mistaken.

[Shadows]

Ooohh, bumping an old thread!

Anyhoo, I've been getting back into these guys lately. I've decided to seriously start learning some entire CoF songs on guitar, as they're fun to play and well within my skill range. In the meantime, I can't seem to stop listening to Damnation and a Day.

It's also mildly humorous that people have been impersonating Dani Filth on myspace lately.

[Lord Abortion]

Yah, I read the post on the site about it :)


Mannequin is one of the best songs on DAAD, the intro is cool.

[Shadows]

My favorite songs on that album are:

Mannequin (the intro riff is one of my all-time favorite CoF riffs)
The Promise of Fever
Hurt and Virtue
Babylon AD
Smoke of Her Burning

That album has a very distinctive vibe to it that none of their albums had. I think they blended the orchestra in beautifully. Many say it's one of their wrose albums, but over the years it's become one of my favorites. Still, their old stuff is unsurpassable.

Ollie, are you a big Cradle of Filth fan?

Yeah, Cradle are my 3rd favourite band of all time, behind Maiden and Iced earth.

[Shadows]

Yeah, Cradle are my 3rd favourite band of all time, behind Maiden and Iced earth.
I could've guess by your name. :) But I never see you talk about them, so I wasn't completely sure. For me, they're my 3rd or 4th favorite, behind Shadows Fall and Children of Bodom. I'd say they're tied with Arsis for 3rd right now.

Anyway...

[Lord Abortion]

I only talk about them in passing,I keep it to this thread and when serious discussion happens about them in the BM thread or death heads, like a young gentleman of postcount deficiency comes in and mentions them in terms of BM.

[Shadows]

I understand. I haven't talked about them in a very long time either. Very unfortunate. :(

When do you see them with Cathedral? Or did you already?

[Lord Abortion]

Friday 9th of december :cool:

I'm going to go on a cradle binge starting tomorrow.

[Shadows]

Sweet. That's almost exactly one year after I saw them :eek: Last year it was Dec 10. Stood in line for an hour, cold as all hell, but it was worth it. :cool:

I need to jump-start my love of Cradle. Step 1: finish purchasing their entire discography.

[Elnimio]

Cradle of Filth are a very underrated band amongst metalheads.

[Shadows]

I agree. People focus so much on their image and the genres that they don't play and they overlook the music.

[Lord Abortion]

I agree. People focus so much on their image and the genres that they don't play and they overlook the music.
And the wonderful lyrics...

[Shadows]

And the wonderful lyrics...
Definitely. Dani is the best metal lyricist alive right now, bar none.

[lightningmetal666]

Cradle of Filth are a very underrated band amongst metalheads.


Definitely. Hey what would they be classified as? Melodic Death Metal?

Dani has the most awesome voice.

[Lord Abortion]

Extreme Gothic Metal, possibly

[Shadows]

That would be the most accurate description currently. They were death metal on some demos, then switched to black metal, and have been playing gothic metal for about 10 years now.

[lightningmetal666]

Extreme Gothic Metal, possibly


Oh.


Hey is it true that dani inhales air when singing as opposed exhaling.

/hoping you understood that

[Redial]

Im a big CoF fan... Adrian is my favorite metal drummer of all time... Just listen to the Be quick or be dead version of Funeral In Carpathia on lovecraft, youll know what I mean!

Personnaly, Midian is the best album they have ever made, but the pure evilness of Principles really does it for me. :evil:

The solo of Amor E Morte just makes my jaw drops every time... that is how you solo with emotion... too bad I cant find a tab anywhere (not that id be able to play it... :upset:

[devildriver421]

Friday 9th of december :cool:

I'm going to go on a cradle binge starting tomorrow.

If youve never seen them before, let me tell you how awesome they are live. Put on such a great show,it was really well done

[Elnimio]

Nah, I saw them in Manchester in April.


they were superb

/apologies for account change.:p


Why the account change?

[GiB]

Probably my favorite is Cthulu Dawn...anyone else like this one?

[Shadows]

Cthulu Dawn is probably my favorite song off of Midian, all though the first six songs on that album are pure genious. Midian is most likely my favorite, but Ilove many CoF albums, ranging from Midian to Dusk and Nymphetamine to Damnation.

Hey is it true that dani inhales air when singing as opposed exhaling.
I truly doubt it. With the amount of force and volume he gets out, he'd easily damage his voice beyond repair by inhaling. He also holds screams longer than any human would be able to by inhaling.

So in short, no, he doesn't inhale. He screams.

Damn, these boys put on a killer show. I saw them last year on the Headbangers Ball tour with Arch Enemy. That made my day. :)

Sounds to me like Ollie is an attention whore. :mad: :p

[Shadows]

Hell yeah, but you have to listen to the end of at the gates of midian to link the two, like satyrisis and GC, the two songs link into each other too well
When I first heard the way At the Gates of Midian flows into Cthulu Dawn I had a musical orgasm. No joke.

It was a real :eek: situation.

[Pantellica]

The new CD Nymphetamine has some very nice vocal tones, especially the low tones, dani is a a great vacalist. If you go to their website you can hear all the voices can do. its really great to hear this guy sing

[asmodeusisgod]

cradle of filth= beast machine

[lightningmetal666]

The new CD Nymphetamine has some very nice vocal tones, especially the low tones, dani is a a great vacalist. If you go to their website you can hear all the voices can do. its really great to hear this guy sing


Dani sounds like he's freakin' possessed by a demon when he sings.

It's so awesome. That's the only CD that I have of them and I've only got a burned copy of it recently.

Guilded C*nt is so awesome and heavy.:evil:

[nevermindemily]

So are there still several people who want Vempire? I got it a while ago. It's quite good. I'll be willing to send it to whoever wants it.

is it good? i'm thinking of getting it later. that or nymphetmanine.

[Shadows]

It's good, but Nymphetamine is better.

I'd have sent it out, but my computer crashed and I lost all my music a while back. Sorry everyone. :(

[Lord Abortion]

Cradle live in...13 days...

[The Elf]

I saw Cradle of Filth at the UEA in Norwich n friday. they arent my favourite band, not by a long way, but i was surprised, they were really good. Good sound.
They played some good songs, opened with Guilded C***. They did play nymphetamine, but i was dissapointed it was only fix they did (i like overdose).

Their support (cathedral) was good too, their sound wasnt as clear, and the singer was scary tho (pretending to commit suicide etc)

but good :)

[Lord Abortion]

Nice, I hope they play a diffferent set from the last tour.

[Shadows]

I hope they hurry their asses up and finish recording the new album. Me is impatient.

[ValeOfShadows]

This band has a lot of talent and i think dani's vocals sound good. I think they suit the music.

[Lord Abortion]

Friday-Huzzah!

[Benzum]

This band has a lot of talent and i think dani's vocals sound good. I think they suit the music.

Dani is indeed unique, for sure, its crazy how high he can "scream"
I keep forgetting how rank Lord Abortion is, especially on the live CD.

[Lord Abortion]

It's absolutely fantastic, I really really want them to play it.

[Shadows]

Probably my favorite CoF song of all time.

[Lord Abortion]

I just watched heavy, left handed and candid again...
I laugh evey time I hear Dani calling Adrian "eager little wet wizard drummer" before QOWT

[Shadows]

Is that a good DVD? A nearby store actually carries it, so I may buy it if it's good.

[Lord Abortion]

Do, the setlist is excellent, lord abortion opens it :D
and the documentry extra will make you have some sort of fits of laughter

[Shadows]

Sounds good. They look like a bunch with good English humour (lawl). I <3 Lord Abortion too. :)

[Lord Abortion]

Sounds good. They look like a bunch with good English humour (lawl). I <3 Lord Abortion too. :)
Yeah, plenty of pissing around, mooning and lots of drinking, lots and lots of drinking.

[Lord Abortion]

Right just got back from an excellent show.

Cradle were incredible good.
I was front and centre throughout.

setlist was

Satyrisis
Guilded Caaaaaant!
Medusa and Hemlock
Babylon AD
Thank god for the suffering
Cthulhu Dawn
Desire in Violent Overture
Nymphetamine (fix:()
Born in a burial Gown
Her Ghost in the Fog
Ebony dressed for Sunset
Nocturnal Supremacy
Heaven Torn Asunder
From The cradle to enslave

First of all, surprising set, nearly completely different from the last, some great songs, but not as good a set as the last one in April.
The Band were excellent. Fully Stagecrafting, with angle grinders in the encore, Living gargoyles that looked awesome when they moved as Dani gestured after being still for 2 songs. And a huge demon thing on stilts, too...

The crowd screamed along, unfortunatly noticably more to the recent stuff :rolleyes: and I noticed I was the only one I could see who knew the words to half of it.

Best moments:
The rapturous Cthulhu Dawn, Desire in Violent Overture, and Heaven torn asunder (that riff :eek:)
the singalongs to Her Ghost, and Dani dedicating Babylon AD to "you lot down there at the front" :D

Low Points:
Mallcore Kids...
Medusa and Hemlock, and Thank God for the suffering...not the best tracks they could have chosen...

Wonderful Gig, Dani was perfect all throughout, he hits those notes as well live as he does studio-wise. Just more Mid-period stuff next time!

Support
Octavia were alright I suppose, and very pretty, had to borrow Cathedral's drummer and he was the best in the bad the vocals were unintelligable and no stage presence.

Cathedral were 'kin excellent. Great Stage precence, but Few songs due to a 10'oclock (!) curfew
They did
Ride, Corpsecycle and Hopkins, as well as a couple of others I didn't recognise.

All in all, brilliant, desire in violent overture, Cthulhu dawn and Her ghost were my personal faves, but they didn't put a foot wrong all night.
Pure excellence.

[Shadows]

:eek: :eek: :eek:

That sounds amazing. The only drawback to the show I saw was all the mallcore kids and the lack of anything from Dusk. Sounds like your show kicked ***, with all the theatrical stuff. I would ****ing kill to see Cthulhu Dawn. :(

[Lord Abortion]

Heaven Torn asunder is off Dusk... :D
Nocturnal supremacy was A huge shock, took me ages to work out what it was,as I haven't heard that song much

Cthulhu dawn was incredible

[Shadows]

I bet, that's one of my all-time favorite songs by them. But it's so much better when they play it after starting with At the Gates of Midian.

I <3 Dusk & Her Embrace. Yet they didn't play a single song from it last year. Any song would've been nice, as every single one on that album is amazing.

[azbassman]

now this is one band i would kill to see live....unfortuantley, i dont know when/if the come to my town/state

[Lord Abortion]

I would suggest that it'll be after the next album they'll hit America.

Someone I talked to afterwards met Charles...and got his ticket signed, I considered mugging him. Aparently he said " the rest won't be out until the nightclubs close..."

I was really close to getting a stick of Adrian's... but he handed, yes HANDED one to the guy a little to the right and in front of me.
Lucky bastard

[Shadows]

I know the feeling. When I went to see Shadows Fall, Jason Bittner threw a stickl right to my friend next to me. Some guy grabbed it from him, but Jason saw it and gave my friend another stick.

No <3 for the man bearing their name every day. :(

[azbassman]

That setlist you posted earlier; the majority of it seemed to be off of three of there albums....i figured they would kinda spread it out more.

[Lord Abortion]

Which one?
Last night's or the last one?

[azbassman]

Which one?
Last night's or the last one?
The last one you posted

[Lord Abortion]

Well, out of 14 songs, there were 4 from the last album which is understandable, two from DAAD, two from midian, and one each from DAHE, and CATB, with the rest from Mini albums etc.

I suppose that they are wary of alienating the people who have supported them for a long time, but want to keep the new support that came into crale via the newer stuff.
It's a fine balance, which I think, given the last two sets, they got Correct.
search for the last tour setlist in here to see what I mean.

[King_Of_Terrors]

:confused:

I've never seen this thread before.

[azbassman]

My favorite COF song would be either All hope in Eclipse or Tearing the Veil From Grace.

where abouts do you live? cause a friend of mine were going to see them and Cathedral were supporting.

[Lord Abortion]

where abouts do you live? cause a friend of mine were going to see them and Cathedral were supporting.
I live in Northumberland, saw them at Newcastle.

They were magnificent, and so were Cathedral.

[Neoteric]

Ah, my friend went to see them a few nights ago in Glasgow.

[ValeOfShadows]

I get one of there dvds for christmas cant wait to watch it.:thumb:

[Shadows]

Cradle of Filth is one damn fine band!

/late

[azbassman]

^Its never to late to say that...

[The Elf]

Octavia were alright I suppose, and very pretty, had to borrow Cathedral's drummer and he was the best in the bad the vocals were unintelligable and no stage presence.

ah, i wondered why the drummer had a beard :rolleyes:

when cathredral played, the guitarist was right at teh edge, and when he wanted to use a pedal he went even further, nearly behind the PA system. Half the people probably coulnt see, put ya pedal board in the middle of the stage!

Wish the played overdose tho... but you cant have everything :chug:

[Lord Abortion]

I did enjoy Lee Dorian's mock hanging at the end of Hopkins.
The chourus of that was immense.

I listened to all of CATB and TPOEMF today...

[The Elf]

that mock hanging was funny :D

He was shooting himself in the head throughout too... and did that weird thing like being crucifed and put the mic in his mouth

strange guy

[Shadows]

I did enjoy Lee Dorian's mock hanging at the end of Hopkins.

I'm about to kick back with some amazing DAHE. :cool:

[Lord Abortion]

Ah, We all know that Cradle are more influenced by King Diamond than Black metal, really.

[guitarist.kid]

friends of mine have been talking to me about Craddle and I saw one of their video. If I should get an album wich one should I get???
thanks.

[Lord Abortion]

It depends...

Get Cruelty and the Beast, or the principle of evil made flesh.
The latter is a real black metal album, though.

[Shadows]

If you're looking for their best, than I couldn't choose just one. Dusk & Her Embrace is great, but Midian and Damnation and a Day are both better for the heavier stuff.

[Lord Abortion]

Exactly, and Nymphetamine is fantastic too...

You're not going to get a definite answer, I'm afraid :p

[Shadows]

Haha, all we can do is describe every album and hope one of them appeals to him.

Every single one is good, except for perhaps Bitter Suites to Succubi, which may be a bit sub par. Still has some great tracks though.

[Lord Abortion]

Born in a burial gown was superb live

NP-The twisted nails of faith

[Shadows]

That it was my friend, that it was. I thoroughly enjoyed Her Ghost in the Fog as well.

/wrong album, but it's so good!

[Aakon_Keetreh]

my band played her ghost in the fog live, it was pretty sweet, and we also added a solo :)

[Lord Abortion]

Some pics from the Gig I went to, not mine, but they were on the site

[Deconstruction]

Actually, I wanted to hear CoF live so I bought a Live Bait for the Dead.
/hopes it good.

[Lord Abortion]

It's excellent, but the Heavy, left handed and Candid, DVD is better, same set, just the DVD version, extras++
/has a LBFTD shirt :cool:

which do you fellows prefer? The POEMF version of the forest...or the VEmpire one?

[Brew]

I was annoyed when Cradle didn't play Born in a Burial Gown when I saw them in March, its one of my favourite Cradle songs :(

NP - Gilded Cunt

Edit: refl, can you imagine Dani yelling 'Gilded Cunt' at a gig?

[Lord Abortion]

Hahaha, they played that again...great song to open with.
Nothing incites a singalong more than the opportunity to shout "cunt"

[Brew]

If I get to see them again I might shout Cunt instead, just for fun.

[Lord Abortion]

You might get out of time...too many syllables, see?

[Brew]

Hmm, this is where cunning use of a dodgy Bristolian accent would come into play.

They tend to say squirrel as ''squerrl''.

[Shattered_Future]

I think the Vempire version of The Forest Whispers My Name (I'm assuming that's what we're talking about) is better. Better production, mainly.

[Aaron_Of_Oz]

I have been listening to cradle of filth for quite a while now. i dont know what genre to put them in, i would have said black metal but have been told otherwise.

the albums i own are bitter suites to succubi, cruelty and the beast, damnation and a day, dusk and her embrace, from the cradle to enslave[EP], midian, nymphetamine and the principle of evil made flesh.

my favourite/s are cruelty and the beast and damnation and a day.

so anyway if you want to discuss anything regarding cradle of filth do it here.

[King_Of_Terrors]

I haven't heard much, but most people consider them gothic metal.

What about the COF thread Thor made? Did it die or something?

[Moses]

I don't really like them that much. Danny Filth does really dangerous things to his voice that actually don't sound that good to me anyway. Everything before D&aD was alright though.

[King_Of_Terrors]

What do you mean by "Dangerous"?

I have that shirt.:)

[Magicaltroll]

I love these guys.
Haven't listened to them in forever though.

[King_Of_Terrors]

Recommend me some songs.

[emo is so cool]

i bought "Midian" but i barely listened to it, but i heard they suck.

[Aaron_Of_Oz]

I have that shirt.:)

you have what shirt?

[Aaron_Of_Oz]

Recommend me some songs.


lustmord and wargasm
hallowed be thy name (iron maiden cover)
cruelty bought thee orchids
the promise of fever
better to reign in hell
from the cradle to enslave
her ghost in the fog
the list goes on and on........

[Magicaltroll]

you have what shirt?
What he bolded in the quote...

[King_Of_Terrors]

i bought "Midian" but i barely listened to it, but i heard they suck.

Don't always listen to what you hear.

Thanks a bunch for those recommended songs, what about Lord Abortion, and then there is another song, it has some weird title, and it has some acoustic stuff in it...

[Aaron_Of_Oz]

What he bolded in the quote...

oh ok i missed that. i love their artwork it's great!! whats everyones favourite album cover?

[Moses]

What do you mean by "Dangerous"?
The techniques he uses can actually paralyze your vocal chords, dissallowing you to make noise. The fact that he hasn't done it yet really surprises me.

[King_Of_Terrors]

Whoa that sounds weird. What songs in particular?

[Moses]

Pretty much everything he does.

[King_Of_Terrors]

Weird.

Congrats on the 4,000 posts! :D

[Aaron_Of_Oz]

Don't always listen to what you hear.

Thanks a bunch for those recommended songs, what about Lord Abortion, and then there is another song, it has some weird title, and it has some acoustic stuff in it...

yeah lord abortion is good just like most of their other songs:thumb:
i don't know of any acoustic stuff but i would like to hear it if their is

[Moses]

Thanks KoT.

[Shadows]

These guys are my #4 favorite band, and Ollie is a total CoF fanboy. :)

I own almost everything by them. I'm only missing stuff like Live Bait and Lovecraft.

Great band really. Dani's voice may be off-putting at first, but the music is very good. The guitarists write and play some great riffs even if they aren't the most technical thing ever.

I'm not sure if they've ever done acoustic stuff though.

[King_Of_Terrors]

TO WITHOUTACAUSE:

It's not all acoustic, just some parts. I'm gonna see if I reconize any song names on the iTunes music store, hold on...

[10th man down]

I like "Better to Rain in Hell".

I can upoad it for you and e-mail it to you if you want. :)

To KOT.

[Aaron_Of_Oz]

I like "Better to Rain in Hell".

I can upoad it for you and e-mail it to you if you want. :)

Better To REIGN In Hell is probably one of my all time favourites by CoF

[King_Of_Terrors]

Thanks Michael.

The song I was talking about was "Nymphetamine", they made an album called it also, I'm gonna download it right now.

[Aaron_Of_Oz]

Thanks Michael.

The song I was talking about was "Nymphetamine", they made an album called it also, I'm gonna download it right now.

nymphetamine (fix) or nymphetamine (overdose)?

that whole album is great, it's also their most recent

[King_Of_Terrors]

nymphetamine (fix) or nymphetamine (overdose)?


You spelled it the exact same way. :p

[10th man down]

Can someone tell me the name of track 14 on "Damnation and a Day", mine is copied. I know they have a video for it.

[azbassman]

Recommend me some songs.
A Gothic Romance (Red Roses For The Devils Whore)
Dusk and Her Embrace
Born in A Burial Gown
All Hope in Eclipse
Lord Abortion
Cthulhu Dawn
Her Ghost in The Fog
Tearing The Veil From Grace
Scorched Earth Erotica
Suicide and Other Comforts
Babylon A.D
Nemisis
Swansong For A Raven
Malice Through the Looking Glass

[King_Of_Terrors]

Crickey! Thanks. I'm downloading (buying, rather) Nymphetamine and Midian (albums)

[Aaron_Of_Oz]

Can someone tell me the name of track 14 on "Damnation and a Day", mine is copied. I know they have a video for it.

that track is called Mannequin


nymphetamine (fix) or nymphetamine (overdose)?
You spelled it the exact same way.

KoT - they are different tracks

[10th man down]

Thanks. :cool:

[Aaron_Of_Oz]

no probs, thats a pretty good film clip. have you seen the one for from the cradle to enslave or nymphetamine (fix) ? they are both worth a look at of not.

[10th man down]

Haven't seen those.

[Aaron_Of_Oz]

they are really good download them off limewire:smoke:

[King_Of_Terrors]

that track is called Mannequin


nymphetamine (fix) or nymphetamine (overdose)?
You spelled it the exact same way.

KoT - they are different tracks

Oh crap, thanks. I don't know which one.

[Aaron_Of_Oz]

nymphetamine (fix) is shorter and is just a part of the longer one nyphetamine (overdose). have you finished downloading/buying those albums yet?

[metalguy13]

Cradle of Filth is a baddass band. I don't think i have yet to here a song that i don't like. Since this is true i'm not gonna list them all but the best i think...

Nympthetamine(overdose)
Dusk and her embrace
Her Ghost in the Fog
Cthulhu Dawn
Gilded kunt
Medusa and Hemlock
Filthy Little Secret
The Forest Whispers My Name

[Lord Abortion]

We could have put this in the other Cradle thread, it's about somewhere.

/massive fanboy...as Benny-boy said :)
Favourite song goes with my username, probably the Forest whispers my name too.
I've seen them live twice, both brilliant, and have all the albums, of which my favourite is probably Cruelty and the beast or the principle of evil made flesh

[The Buttloaves]

Nymphetamine, Filthy Little Secret, and Gilded Cunt are the only songs I really like

[King_Of_Terrors]

Whoa. I'm listening to Gilded C**t right now. This is awesome, but yeah, if I was a vocalist I wouldn't even attempt to do those things with my voice. I love the symphonic element there is. Now there is some blast beats. Haha, this has thrash elements also. Great stuff.

[Werny]

They're not the worst of bands, but I hate the Dimmu Borgir/Cradle of Filth style of black metal. Also, I find them really gimmicky.

[King_Of_Terrors]

What about Old Man's Child? I like them, you probably won't. COF is very different from Diimmu and OMC. CoF isn't really black metal at all.

[Lord Abortion]

Yeah, they do alot of different stuff, but for me the thing that sets them apart from other bands that could be said to be musically similar (possibly Dimmu Borgir, Old Man's child, Graveworm) is the Camp English sense of humour that they have, the leather kilts, the song titles, the stageshow.
It's great, and a break from people in extreme music being so bloody serious all the time.

And Dani's vocals aswell, I was in the front row dead centre for the show in December, and he really does do that live, and the bit in Cthulhu Dawn was just as on the album...magnificent.

No, Cradle were black metal for the first couple of albums, and actually have a fairly good standing with the Norwegian Bands at the time, (fear of a black planet UK tour in '93 with Emperor, Dani's correspondance with Euronymous before he died) but neither are the other bands I mentioned.
I put them in "Extreme Gothic symphonic metal" seems the best description to me.)

[azbassman]

Yeah, they do alot of different stuff, but for me the thing that sets them apart from other bands that could be said to be musically similar (possibly Dimmu Borgir, Old Man's child, Graveworm) is the Camp English sense of humour that they have, the leather kilts, the song titles, the stageshow.

They really need to come to my state...i would love to see Cradle live. I heard they were recording a new album, you here anything about that?

[King_Of_Terrors]

Lord Abotion is my favorite song by them so far, I need to listen to both albums all the way through though.

[Lord Abortion]

Yeah, new album in progress. New double live album out next year too.

Check it out.

Midian
Bitter Suites to Succubi
Damnation and A Day
Nymphetamine

[Lord Abortion]

Six and a half full length's I don't know what to class VEmpire as... and two EPs.

Bitter suites isn't a proper album.

[King_Of_Terrors]

Suicide and Other Comforts

Scorched Ear Erotica

Edit:Yes Nymphetamine is the most recent

[King_Of_Terrors]

What should I get now that I have Midian and Nymphetamine?

[azbassman]

What should I get now that I have Midian and Nymphetamine?
I'd go with Dusk...and Her Embrace

[King_Of_Terrors]

Alright. When did CoF form?

[azbassman]

The first full length came out in '94..but i dont know exactly when they formed.

[King_Of_Terrors]

[Shadows]

It was an old demo back in their black metal days.

They formed in 1991.

[Lord Abortion]

All the lyrics, and the tracklists for various available bootlegs are available on darklyrics.

[King_Of_Terrors]

Medusa and Hemlock is probably my favorite song so far, it's tied with Lord Abortion.

[Shadows]

Dusk & Her Embrace > your mortal souls.

[King_Of_Terrors]

I need to hear that one. I'm hearing lots of great things about it...

[Shadows]

I'm sending it to someone as a late Christmas present because it's just that amazing. Hopefully she likes it as much as I do.

[King_Of_Terrors]

Who are you sending it to?

[Shadows]

A friend. I met her on mx actually, but you wouldn't know who she is.

I also love Midian. Good stuff.

Actually, I love every single one of their albums.

[King_Of_Terrors]

Midian is great. Right now I'm liking Nymphetamine a bit more, but I have listened to it more than Midian.

[Lord Abortion]

A friend. I met her on mx actually, but you wouldn't know who she is.

I also love Midian. Good stuff.

Actually, I love every single one of their albums.
/nudges and winks.

The vocal part after the bridge in DAHE is beyond belief.
Dani's softer edge to that part is amazing.
It's up there with most of Haunted shores and the middle of Lord Abortion as my favourite Dani vocal part...

[King_Of_Terrors]

What song is DAHE?

[Shadows]

/nudges and winks.

The vocal part after the bridge in DAHE is beyond belief.

Damn right. :naughty:

A Gothic Romance is one of my favorite CoF songs.

DAHE = Dusk & Her Embrace

[Thor]

I'll tell what all Cradle fans should check out, Vempire. It's a very unknown yet fantastic album. It's got "Queen of Winter, Throned" on it, which could quite possibly be the band's best song.

[King_Of_Terrors]

I have heard of that also. I'm gonna see what else they have on iTunes...

[Thor]

I have heard of that also. I'm gonna see what else they have on iTunes...
They don't have much, and I know for a fact that Vempire isn't on there.

[Cocaine]

I started listening to these guys after being told not to for the 900th time. They really aren't that bad, I mean, Dani's queer whispering get's old pretty fast, but the two albums I've got are pretty friggin decent. Yeah, they arent BM, but they aren't supposed to be.

[Thor]

You've got a point there. They don't try to be black metal so I don't see why people should call them posers or whatever.

[Moses]

LMFAO

[Lord Abortion]

I just ordered VEmpire...I like the songs from it I have, and am even considering "nocturnal supremacy" as a band name...

[azbassman]

Damn right. :naughty:

A Gothic Romance is one of my favorite CoF songs.

DAHE = Dusk & Her Embrace
Oh yeah i love that song...gets all soft and then "red roses for...the devils whore". DAHE is probably my favorite album.
And i love playing the keys at the begining.

[Cocaine]

You've got a point there. They don't try to be black metal so I don't see why people should call them posers or whatever.


Well, I think a lot ot if spawns from their main fanbase. I mean, they've got the guys who just like the music, and then the rest of their fans that look like a they were breaking in their newly purchased leather trenchcoats in the make-up section of Shoppers Drug Mart.

[King_Of_Terrors]

You play keys? Awesome. Amor E Morte is a great song.

[Thor]

I just ordered VEmpire...I like the songs from it I have, and am even considering "nocturnal supremacy" as a band name...
I already know you're a big CoF fan so you'll really enjoy this album, I assure you.

And that's a really cool band name, by the way!:thumb:

[azbassman]

My band is going to try to do a cover of Born in A Burial Gown at our next school talent show. Took me a while but i can reach most if not all of the vocals on that song. The keys shouldnt be that difficult.

[Moses]

None of the keys in CoF are really difficult. Usually keys in metal aren't anyway.

[azbassman]

None of the keys in CoF are really difficult. Usually keys in metal aren't anyway.
Yeah i know, thats why i can play and do vocals at the same time.

[Lord Abortion]

Well, I think a lot ot if spawns from their main fanbase. I mean, they've got the guys who just like the music, and then the rest of their fans that look like a they were breaking in their newly purchased leather trenchcoats in the make-up section of Shoppers Drug Mart.
True, it's a bizzare mix at a cradle concert, you get these huge beer-bellied metalheads, and all these little mallcore kids. Very amusing, really.

[Moses]

Yeah i know, thats why i can play and do vocals at the same time.
That's what I do for my band. If only me and the guitarist didn't fire our bassist and drummer.

[azbassman]

That's what I do for my band. If only me and the guitarist didn't fire our bassist and drummer.
Awsome another keyboardist. My band is just short a bassist but we should be able to find one pretty easly.

[King_Of_Terrors]

So your saying power metal isn't hard to play on keys?

[Thor]

So your saying power metal isn't hard to play on keys?
I would certainly not. He obviously hasn't heard Children of Bodom or Dragonforce if he thinks that.

[Lord Abortion]

*Cough*Dreamtheater*cough*

[Shadows]

Janne Warman > all keyboardists \m/

It is ashame anout Martin Powell leaving though.

[azbassman]

Janne Warman > all keyboardists \m/

It is ashame anout Martin Foul leaving though.
Yeah he was a good keyboardist. Nothing really complicated it just fit perfectly into the music.

[King_Of_Terrors]

Where did the name Cradle Of Filth come from?

[Lord Abortion]

Yeah he was a good keyboardist. Nothing really complicated it just fit perfectly into the music.
Powell is his real name.

I don't actually know where the name came from.
A nugget of info I have never come across, now you come to mention it.

[Aaron_Of_Oz]

Where did the name Cradle Of Filth come from?

so would you say you are now a cradle of filth fan?

[King_Of_Terrors]

I guess so :D

I like to know alot about a band when I get into them.

[azbassman]

I guess so :D

I like to know alot about a band when I get into them.
:thumb: yes we've converted another one.

[King_Of_Terrors]

You didn't convert me. I was going to look into them, then the thread popped up! Whoa! Thanks anyway.

[Aaron_Of_Oz]

job well done guys, King of Terrors came in this thread not listening to cradle of filth and after a few recommendations has been converted:thumb:

[azbassman]

You didn't convert me. I was going to look into them, then the thread popped up! Whoa! Thanks anyway.
well we helped you along. What stuff did you end up getting?

[King_Of_Terrors]

:rolleyes: :lol:

Fine, you did convert me! :p

I got Midian and Nymphetamine.

[Shadows]

Powell is his real name.

I don't actually know where the name came from.
A nugget of info I have never come across, now you come to mention it.
Powell or Foul? I think they like to mold their names into something reletively grotesque or intimidating, yet slightly humorous.

[King_Of_Terrors]

So your saying his real name is Powell but he goes by Foul?

[azbassman]

So your saying his real name is Powell but he goes by Foul?
His real name is Powell, but on the albums his last name is Foul.

[King_Of_Terrors]

I wonder why he would do that.

I think I will buy some CoF albums, they are probably popular enough to have them in CD stores. But I DID pay for the two albums I got.

[Lord Abortion]

Well, yes.

Gian Pyres was John Piras
Dani Is Dan Davey
Dave is Herr Pubis
James was Germs warfare

I love the lyric sheets. The band descriptions in Cruelty and the beast are brilliant.

[King_Of_Terrors]

Dani Filth is a pretty cool name actually.

[Shadows]

Creulty and the Beast is one I really need to buy.

[azbassman]

Well, yes.

Gian Pyres was John Piras
Dani Is Dan Davey
Dave is Herr Pubis
James was Germs warfare

I love the lyric sheets. The band descriptions in Cruelty and the beast are brilliant.
When Robin was still in the band he went by "Robin Graves", instead of "Robin Eaglestone".

[azbassman]

Creulty and the Beast is one I really need to buy.
I have to order that one. The only one i can find in stores that i dont have is Damnation and A Day.

[Lord Abortion]

Yeah, exactly.

They had Paul as "Prince Paul of evil made flesh" at one point, I don't know whether they gave up because the pun was so bad, or it was too long.

[King_Of_Terrors]

Haha, that is funny. Too long, I bet.

[azbassman]

Yeah, exactly.

They had Paul as "Prince Paul of evil made flesh" at one point, I don't know whether they gave up because the pun was so bad, or it was too long.
Les "Lecter" Smith (keyboards before Powell).

[Shadows]

Yeah, exactly.

They had Paul as "Prince Paul of evil made flesh" at one point, I don't know whether they gave up because the pun was so bad, or it was too long.
:lol:

It was probably too long. I would never have parted with that pun.

The only ones I can't find are the imports like Vempire and TPoEMF. I see CatB everywhere, and Live Bait for the Dead in a few places. Lovecraft and Witchearts too.

[King_Of_Terrors]

This band sure has a ton of history, even though they aren't too old. This band formed when I was born! :eek:

[Shadows]

You were born in 1991? Damn you're young.

Anyone born in the 90's seems so young to me.

[azbassman]

You were born in 1991? Damn you're young.

Anyone born in the 90's seems so young to me.
i was born in 90...one year before Cradle.

[King_Of_Terrors]

I was born in 1992 actually :lol:

Someone told me they formed in 92, so...

[Aaron_Of_Oz]

i was born in 1990, i thought everyone else on the forums were like 25

[King_Of_Terrors]

Haha, nah, I just turned 13. I either make friends with all the really old guys or the really young ones :lol:

[Aaron_Of_Oz]

it's cool to know that other people my age have the same taste in music, at my school theres is like 2 of us that listen to cradle of filth and everyone else calls them "cradle of freak" and bags them

[Shadows]

Haha, nah, I just turned 13. I either make friends with all the really old guys or the really young ones :lol:
Holy ****, you really are ****ing young.

[King_Of_Terrors]

I am the only kid in my whole entire SCHOOL that likes a metal band besides Slipknot and Mudvayne.

It is pretty lame.

[Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]

i just recently started listening to cof i dont really know much about them tho just a lil bit i was born is 88 btw Hey! i like slipknot there like the first metal band i ever listened to and i still listne to them

[Shadows]

i just recently started listening to cof i dont really know much about them tho just a lil bit i was born is 88 btw
:eek:

You're only a year older then me.

Wait, I already knew that.

CoF is good, I think you'd like them.

[King_Of_Terrors]

Calm down Ben.

[Shadows]

What?

I <3 Cradle of Filth.

From the bottom of my <3.

[King_Of_Terrors]

Holy ****, you really are ****ing young.


This.

I <3 CoF from the top of my <3.

[Aaron_Of_Oz]

Holy ****, you really are ****ing young.

how old are you then ShadowsFallen?

[Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]

lol yeh i have nymphetamine with the two disc thing i dont like the second disc tho and on the whole album i think uh guilded cunt is my fav. song i have others but its my fav.

[azbassman]

I think the only ones in my whole school that know about Cradle are in my band. and thats because i made them listen to them.

Edit: Im only 15.

[King_Of_Terrors]

Ben is between 15 and 17, I'm pretty sure its 16, I just always forget.

[Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]

well im 17 so he must be 16, noone around here knows any of the bands i listen to there into rap or country blaa but its them i like what i like

[Shadows]

16. It's right in my profile.

I heard about CoF from a friend at school. Good guy, especially since he's the only metalhead at my entire school.

[King_Of_Terrors]

You seriously think any 13 year holds have anything to do with metal? If it's fast, they automatically label it satanic :rolleyes:

[Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]

yeh my ex did me the same way when i was 13 and he heard my slipknot cd's he made me break them heh called me devil worshiper and everything but i have all my cd's and more back now well some better ones actually

[Aaron_Of_Oz]

i know that happens to me as well it sucks they are so close minded

[Aaron_Of_Oz]

i_am_hated what is the name of the children bodom guitarist/singer?

[Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]

i_am_hated what is the name of the children bodom guitarist/singer?


Alexi Laiho

[King_Of_Terrors]

I heard once that there is a band called "The Beautiful Children Of Bodom"

:angry:

[Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]

lol well alexi is very very *drools* delicious looking lol hes hot

[King_Of_Terrors]

His hair looks as if it has never been washed.

[Aaron_Of_Oz]

lol well alexi is very very *drools* delicious looking lol hes hot

he is also a very talented guitar player:thumb:

[King_Of_Terrors]

He has some sick guitars as well. But this is CoF thread!!!

[Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]

well yeah i know i love watching him and the others play its really awesome and his hair looks very clean to me :-P

[Shadows]

Alexi has great hair! :mad:

I love Cradle of Filth too.

[King_Of_Terrors]

Sorry to break the "Alexi's hair is so pretty omg!" topic, when is CoF due to release their next album?

[Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]

agreed

[azbassman]

Is 'Live Bait For The Dead' worth getting? I saw it in a music shop and was really thinking about buying it.

[King_Of_Terrors]

If it's a live album, it's probably worth it.

[Aaron_Of_Oz]

i havent heard when their next release is due but im sure if you click on that link that was posted earlier you will find out

[King_Of_Terrors]

I think there was something on the Music News about it.

[Shattered_Future]

Cradle is taking a riduculously long time to convert...:angry:

I like them. Their instrumental section is rather underrated...when Barker was drummer, he whipped out some absolutely crushing beats, and their guitarists do some beautiful harmonies.

[Aaron_Of_Oz]

Cradle is taking a riduculously long time to convert...:angry:

what do you mean?

[Shattered_Future]

It was converting to AAC format on my computer. :lol:

Second part is straightforward enough...

[supernerd1016]

Im not sure what he meant but cradle is the greatest!. i would say they're extreme goth metal. like someone else said they've NEVER called themselves black metal so they cant be poser's

some people just need to grow up

[Aaron_Of_Oz]

you said it supernerd:chug:
cradle of filth rock
so who is everybody's favourite member of CoF?
mine would have to be dani filth, i know, i know everybody like him. oh well he is still my favourite

[King_Of_Terrors]

Whoever plays the drums.

[10th man down]

KOT, what did you think of "Better to Rain In Hell"?
