Cradle Of Filth

[YearsOfOppression]

I have only heard the ones available on their website. I think it was something like "her ghost in the fog". I sounded alrite, definatley not the worst I have heard but I never really felt like getting of their CDs. Also, no one know owns any of their stuff so I really haven't been 'exposed' to their songs.

If You get a chance to listen to the nymphetimine album go for it. It is the only album i've got of CoF but it is awsome. Medusa And Hemlock. \m/

[Aakon_Keetreh]

Read my post again, please.

I don't know how good Dani's singing voice will be...
A few bits on cradle songs are nearly clean.

i did

[Aakon_Keetreh]

Meh, I love her Ghost, but it's not even the best track on Midian.
Great lyrical Theme though...
Witchcraft and Gothic temptresses...oh my.


ive played her ghost in the fog live before, it was sweet

[Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]

[Lord Abortion]

How was your singer?
As soon as my band get a keys player, we'll cover it.

Why does Dani use the mic that hangs from the ceiling for Nymphetamine?

I wondered that live, might just be for ease of crowd singalong.

[YearsOfOppression]

I only have those 2 albums...

I'm gonna get Damnation And A Day soon.

Im thinking about getting that album soon aswell.

i wondered that too, it looks cool so maybe for nothing else other than it looks cool?
does he use it live? i didnt get it

[I'm Charming]

Edit: I got it....
Thanks...

My favorites from CoF are....

Her ghost in the fog... and lord abortion

[Lord Abortion]

Yeah, it could be just it looks cool.
He uses it live.

[Cocaine]

How does he use it live though? That must be a long chord considering they play some fairly large shows.

[Aaron_Of_Oz]

yeah i reckon. i love the filmclip for nymphetamine (fix) it's so great and i don't even know why

[YearsOfOppression]

Nymphetamine's video clip is so good. Out of all the ones ive seen i think it is the best.

[TemperamentalGoat]

I was just about to mention this. The band just finished recording a cover song for a movie soundtrack, and Dani said in the last update that all the choruses have clean singing from him, the first time he's ever sang with CoF. I don't care about the song much, but I'm really interested to hear what his singing voice sounds like.

I've uploaded the song:

http://s19.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=13GY8I4JAPLP71KZWN2LJ9574U

So that's what the vocalist sounds like in clean vocals. Somehow not really what I expected. Interesting to note that he didn't even plan on doing these cleans, but their planned vocalist (Danzig) bailed on them so he was almost forced into this task. Cool to hear nonetheless, even if he never does cleans again.

[I'm Charming]

I think Damnation And A Day is the strongest effort from CoF.

Nymphetamine a close second.

Then Midian.



Anyone have 2 cents?

[Lord Abortion]

I actually think DAAD is their worst album, not that it's bad, I just prefer the others. Not counting EPs...then From the cradle to enslave and it's awful remixes would be.

Top 3 are
The principle of evil made flesh
Midian
Cruelty and the beast

[Mother_Of_Abominations]

Midian and Cruelty were awesome. But, what were some of your favorite eps? btw, sup Ollie.

[Lord Abortion]

'sup dude? How's the hot Girlfriend?

FTCTE (apart from the title song) was awful, but some of the tracks on Bitter suites were cool, No time to cry is great, as is Born in a burial gown.
Vempire is winging it's way to me as I write, so I don't know quite what that's like...

Thanks for the link. The clean vocals sound weird. Different but weird. Much prefer the screaming though.

There are only two songs on From The Cradle To Enslave that are worth listening to.

Title track and Sleepless though that non stop use of that pinch harmonic really annoys me in Sleepless.

[Cryptic]

CoF are an amazing band, probably my favriote of all time... Dani is a genius there's no doubt about it... My favriote song's are...

Creulty brought the orchids
Twisted nails of faith
Malice through the looking glass
A gothic romance
Her ghost in the fog

Thanks man, I'm downloading now. I'll listen next chance I get since I really want to know how Dani sounds clean. His voice has been changing lately, so maybe he'll be trying new things on the new album.

EDIT: Oh wow, this is not at all what I expected. He sounds very similar to those 80's British metal singers. I can't even match the scream to the singing. Very strange.

But guess who's getting his daily dose of Midian? I'll give you a hint. It's me.

NP: Midian - you fool!

[I'm Charming]

do you have any of their relativly unknown ep's? i heard that vempire is really good but no one else i know has it

I did have them.. but I didn't burn em... I reinstalled windows and lost the songs/albums...

I thought they were awful... A large part of that was recording quality.

[Aakon_Keetreh]

i just downloaded the new dvd in cd format

its awsome

its a great show

[Dash]

I was reading on cradle of filths homepage that Dani's girlfriend is 14 years old. So thats what a 17 year age difference. If so thats quite sad...

[Aaron_Of_Oz]

Wow I didn't know that. It wouldn't surprise me though.

[nowitzki]

I was reading on cradle of filths homepage that Dani's girlfriend is 14 years old. So thats what a 17 year age difference. If so thats quite sad...
Thats not true, I thought he was married to that model.

[Dash]

From cradleoffilth.com:

Dani's Biography

Born in Hertford, England 25th July, 1973. That makes me 31. Star sign Leo, passion sign Aries.

Live in Suffolk, England with my girlfriend of 14 years, Toni and my daughter Luna Scarlett.

[nowitzki]

Yeah, that means he's been with her for 14 years :rolleyes:

[Aakon_Keetreh]

could somebody reupload the song

it expired

[Lord Abortion]

Hahaha it's a hell of a mistake to make :p

[King_Karl]

I caught COF live in december. They were great, it was one of the best live shows I've been too. Afterwards there was a club night on and most of the band were hanging out greeting fans, including Dani.

[Shadows]

BUMPED

New album soon!

[metalhead_matt]

[Luc214]

:lol: You're so silly!

[Lord Abortion]

New album is soonish, they are playing Download, and you can check the newest studio report for album progress on the site.

[Riva]

Bumpadumpy.

Please use this one.

[Lord Abortion]

I can't believe that really old thread got found.

Anyone who saw the poster "cannibalcorpse1626" in there, that's NOT an alt account of mine...at all in any way.

[Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]

i found it yesterday while the other one was still open,just didnt know what to say lol

[Thor]

New album??? when???
Well I've heard that they have recorded, or are recording a new album right now so it should be out in a couple months I guess. I wonder if it will be like Nymphetamine or something new.

I doubt that they'll go back to their older sounds, though.

[j05h_ab3l5_pp1_h8_m3]

i wish they would go with older sound i loved Damnation & A Day tho

[Thor]

i wish they would go with older sound i loved Damnation & A Day tho
Damnation wasn't their older sound. I wasn't that big a fan of that album, though.

If they made another The Principle of Evil Made Flesh I would be most pleased. But I know that they won't.

[j05h_ab3l5_pp1_h8_m3]

no i never said it was there old sound i said i liked it and yea TPOEMF ( idk how 2 abbreviate) was there best sound

[Thor]

It's my 2nd favorite album by them. It would be my favorite if Dani's vocals were like they were on Midian (which is my favorite CoF album).

[j05h_ab3l5_pp1_h8_m3]

NOOOOO not midian (srry) moviing on i liked every thing b4 midian and damnation and a day but thats mostly it

[Thor]

Midian was great because it took their new sound that they were aiming for and made it great. You can't beat the greatness of "Cthulhu Dawn", "Death Magick for Adepts", "Lord Abortion", and "Her Ghost in the Fog".

[j05h_ab3l5_pp1_h8_m3]

Cthulhu dawn and lord abortion yea but idk bout the rest

[HAIL TRUE METAL]

i only have nymphetamine, but i have parts of midian, two songs from D&HE and a live version of cthulhu dawn

[I'm Charming]

Wow. I've been getting more and more into CoF.

I've always listened to them some , but I'm starting to listen more.

I read the lyrics to Midian and realized how great they were.


Favs,

Lord Abortion
Her Ghost In The Fog
Dusk And Her Embrace
Manniequin
Thank God For The Suffering
Cruelty Brought Thee Orchids

Album- Midian & Cruelty & The Beast.

[circlethedrain]

My favorite albums are Cruelty and the beast and Dusk and her embrace.


My band is even covering Funeral in Carpathia

[HAIL TRUE METAL]

on dusk and her embrace (the song) theres a piano part that sounds like the meow mix song. its funny

[I'm Charming]

[circlethedrain]

Umm. No. I don't find that funny either for some reason.

I don't watch much TV, only news & tons of sports. Only commerical I "un mute" are the "German Engineering JAAAAAAAA". I find those funny since I'm German by blood. + Studied German some over the years.

[circlethedrain]

I hate that comercial, though that actor did a great job as satan in constantine.

[HAIL TRUE METAL]

Its weird that you remembered that man. Seriously.

[HAIL TRUE METAL]

Its weird that you remembered that man. Seriously.
haha no i only remember it cuz my friend taught me how to play it last year lol

[Dash]

Does anyone else dig the Her Ghost In The Fog video, to me it is excellent.

[Crysiss]

Ill have to check that out on youtube sometime. If its on there but im not doubting that no one has uploaded it.

I dont even know if that made sense.

EDIT: That song was the first CoF video I saw. It was quite a few years ago.
The thing that bothers me about it is the old man.

[Dash]

Ill have to check that out on youtube sometime. If its on there but im not doubting that no one has uploaded it.

I dont even know if that made sense.
It made sense, they have a whole load of COF videos on You Tube, id also check out the Nymphetamine video.

[Crysiss]

That video is cool, although Dani looks freakin tall in some parts of it. When I heard the Full version of Nymphetamine, I was wondering where the hell the video version was for a minute or two:p

[HAIL TRUE METAL]

i saw HGITF video and i love it. that girl is pretty hott

[azbassman]

EDIT: On the album its actually relaesed September 19.

[Crysiss]

??

What are you talking about az?

[azbassman]

Cradle of Filths new album

[Crysiss]

Oh. Just a couple more months than:D

[I'm Charming]

Its weird that you remembered that man. Seriously.

Yeah. I think he's like 14 or something. So that's why.

New CoF album.

\keeps eyes out for a torrent mid/late summer

[azbassman]

Oh yeah...cant wait. The only album i dont have by them is the E.P From the Cradle to Enslave.

[Crysiss]

Fanboy:p

[I'm Charming]

Oh yeah...cant wait. The only album i dont have by them is the E.P From the Cradle to Enslave.


It's a good one to pick up. CTE, Sleepless, Of Dark Blood And ****ing are all great.

[azbassman]

Fanboy:p
I know, I know. :)

[I'm Charming]

I know, I know. :)


I've always loved CoF. After I read the lyrics to Lord Abortion & Her Ghost In The Fog I got really really into them.

haha. I'm odd.

[azbassman]

The song that got me into Cradle of Filth was 'All Hope In Eclipse'

[Crysiss]

The lyrics are amazing. I just dont really like the vocals all too much.

Come to think of it, Most vocals I like are clean.

EDIT: The song that got me into CoF was Hallowed By Thy Name.

It kinda sounds like a backwards scream to me.

EDIT: The song that got me into CoF was Hallowed By Thy Name.

That was an Iron Maiden cover and they did a great job.

I love the vocals, Dani makes CoF.

The lyrics are dark and beautiful at the same time. Daniel has an amazing grasp of language & writing.

i only remember cuz my friend taught me the song on guitar last year

[HAIL TRUE METAL]

I love the vocals, Dani makes CoF.
they dont call it cradle of filth for nothing! its his band. if you have realized, every two albums his line up changes. nicholas barker was the drummer for dusk and her embrace and another CD, but now hes with dimmu

[azbassman]

Well Adrian seems like hes going to stay with the band for a long time. Hes been steady with the band since Midian.

[Insipid2000]

The lyrics are dark and beautiful at the same time. Daniel has an amazing grasp of language & writing.

Yeah because Dani has 2 phDs in English Literature

[HAIL TRUE METAL]

i would imagine so

[Dash]

i saw HGITF video and i love it. that girl is pretty hott
Yeah, I know id definatly hit that.

[HAIL TRUE METAL]

she actually looks like one of my friends so that benefits for me. i can tap a similar figure :thumb:

[Dash]

she actually looks like one of my friends so that benefits for me. i can tap a similar figure :thumb:
Get on it and tell us about the experience..

[HAIL TRUE METAL]

will do!

a while ago i showed her the video sayn that theres a hottie lookn just like her and she said that she thinks it looks like her. long lost sister possibly?

[Dash]

will do!

a while ago i showed her the video sayn that theres a hottie lookn just like her and she said that she thinks it looks like her. long lost sister possibly?
Was she frightened by it?

[HAIL TRUE METAL]

no not really. she thinks that dani is hott without the makeout n shiit. obviously i didnt really care about that though lol

[Dash]

Heh, I thought most girl's think Dani is a physcotic axe murderer, I guess not though.

[HAIL TRUE METAL]

did you see him on viva la bam? he was a normal person. funny too actually

[Dash]

Yeah well apparently he is a loving father, I guess he just goes a bit overboard with his whole act. If you watch Cradle Of Fear youl know what I mean.

[HAIL TRUE METAL]

people in the music business are most of the time way different than the way they are outside of it. dani might be satanic but hes still a nice guy

[Dash]

Yeah although some of the ideas that he comes up with really make you wonder if he truly is evil inside, because I dont know how anyone else could create those.

[HAIL TRUE METAL]

people who are in death metal bands might right anti god stuff but really theyre christian or some kind of religion similar. they just have to fit the right stuff with the right genre

[Dash]

Dont get me wrong I think Dani is a nice guy I just beleive that he has an evil side to him as well, to have an imagination like that.

[HAIL TRUE METAL]

thats true, but he only uses that evil side in the music business. thats my opinion at least.

[Lord Abortion]

I love the vocals, Dani makes CoF.

The lyrics are dark and beautiful at the same time. Daniel has an amazing grasp of language & writing.
This is true, His writing is superb.

and it's all telling a story...you kids need to learn the difference between fiction and reality

[I'm Charming]

This is true, His writing is superb.

and it's all telling a story...you kids need to learn the difference between fiction and reality


EDIT::::: I take that back.

\just read the idiocy of last page.

haha. ****ing typos

[circlethedrain]

Does anyone else think that Danni is in love with Elizabeth Bathory?

[Lord Abortion]

/\/\ she was meant to hae been hot...

Yeah, that's what I meant, those kids on the last page...

[I'm Charming]

/\/\ she was meant to hae been hot...

Yeah, that's what I meant, those kids on the last page...

Yeah. I thought you were talking to me and I was like wtf mate......

Then I read back like I should've and it was very clear.

I like the narrator style of many of the lyrics. Is it true he has two PHD's in English Lit?

[Lord Abortion]

I'm not sure, but he has been present at several "Conventions for the preservation of the English Language"

[Thor]

I'm not sure, but he has been present at several "Conventions for the preservation of the English Language"
What do they talk about at those coventions? English isn't exactly going away.

[Lord Abortion]

I suppose it's more like the beauty of the language, more archaic phrases.
I only heard it mentioned in passing, I don't know much about it.

[Thor]

Well Dani Filth would certainly belong there, seeing how he has a great way of writing lyrics. They're so clever, well thought out, and badass.

Yeah. I imagine he has been to those and has extensive training in English lit.

Hey, I had it first! :thumb:

Good point. Well you can keep yours because I changed mine back to the viking metal one.

[circlethedrain]

I want a tootsie pop.

The blue ones are the best kind.

I like the brown ones.

[The Masked Guitarist]

Does anyone else think that Danni is in love with Elizabeth Bathory?
i do~! :smoke: :naughty:

[Thor]

Well this thread isn't really going anywhere.

Has anyone else seen the Heavy Left Handed DVD? Dani's side talk is pretty hilarious in it.

[Crysiss]

No man, Describe a scene:D

[Thor]

Well these are a few of the things that I can remember without having to watch it again.

"This next song is from another album of ours, strangely enough..."

(after a song) "That's pretty good for not remembering your own set. But then again I'm good at forgetting things. Never drink bleach."

Those were the first two that came to mind, at least during the performance. On the intro bit to the performance Dani is sitting in a big armchair and his mistress hands him a glass of wine. He then introduces Cradle of Filth as "the world's stinkiest band". I laughed out loud the first time I heard that, and still laugh every time I see it.

:lol: Man, Thats class.

[Nepenthe]

:lol: Man, Thats class.

Yeah, that gave me a bit of a chuckle on the inside.

[Thor]

It's good to know that Cradle of Filth has a joking side to them. I don't really like bands if they take themselves incredibly seriously.

[The Masked Guitarist]

Yeah, that gave me a bit of a chuckle on the inside.
good stuff yea :p

[Lord Abortion]

That DVD is excellent.

The live version of Lord Abortion owns

[The Masked Guitarist]

im going to music store i will buy the DVD!!!!!!!1
yay!

[I'm Charming]

Is this the Lefty DVD?

I have Superior Through Better Firepower. I like it. Too much new stuff though. No Lord Abortion :angry: :angry: :angry:

[Lord Abortion]

I have both, Heavy is better

[Thor]

That DVD is excellent.

The live version of Lord Abortion owns
Yeah it is, that's one of the best songs out of the whole performance.

And "Queen on Winter, Throned" live is damn near perfection.

[I'm Charming]

I started learning Lord Abortion tonight.

It's easy so far. I'm through the second riff.

DGCFAD also means playing Bodom in the right tuning. :p

[Thor]

That song is pretty easy on guitar. I learned it on bass, but it's the same thing for almost the whole song. It's fun to play though. :thumb:

Playing "The Forest Whispers My Name" on bass is a blast. That's one of my favorite songs to play, expecially the blast beat part right before Dani's first scream is awesome!

[The Masked Guitarist]

Is this the Lefty DVD?

I have Superior Through Better Firepower. I like it. Too much new stuff though. No Lord Abortion :angry: :angry: :angry:
i got that one last night was i the only one freaked out when the golems started moving half way through Guilded C*unt? :confused:

[HAIL TRUE METAL]

im gona have to get it. i heard it was really good.

last night i saw the video for cradle to the enslaved and its fukked up man

[I'm Charming]

i got that one last night was i the only one freaked out when the golems started moving half way through Guilded C*unt? :confused:



haha. That was nothing. The chicks climbing up and down those ropes were really odd yet cool.

[The Masked Guitarist]

haha. That was nothing. The chicks climbing up and down those ropes were really odd yet cool.
agreed but the back-up singer chick like sat there the whole time and was like .................................. i was like heeellloooo get in to it a little bit!

[I'm Charming]

agreed but the back-up singer chick like sat there the whole time and was like .................................. i was like heeellloooo get in to it a little bit!


haha. She's really fat.

Agreed. She just stands there and looks bored.

[HAIL TRUE METAL]

shes also in the video for her ghost in the fog. they use to have some other chick. but she looked just as dead as the most recent back up singer

[Crysiss]

Is that the chick in the Nymphetamine video? I dont really follow up on CoF too much. You guys will be my CoF knowledge.

[Thor]

agreed but the back-up singer chick like sat there the whole time and was like .................................. i was like heeellloooo get in to it a little bit!
She's too busy trying to not be seen. The band doesn't even credit her in their album's booklets, so I don't think she really wants to get that into the songs.

...and she's fat. :lol:

[I'm Charming]

...and she's fat. :lol:

Seriously.... She's a rather large waste of space.

[Thor]

Seriously.... She's a rather large waste of space.
She only does stuff in only a few songs, so they could just play like a sample or something and save themselves from having a fat chick on stage.

[I'm Charming]

She only does stuff in only a few songs, so they could just play like a sample or something and save themselves from having a fat chick on stage.


Good point. Plus it tilts the stange to one side. I'm sure that doesn't help the band preform. I might be wrong, but I doubt it.

haha. I'm having to correct myself on the lead riff in LA, I play it too fast, I have to force myself to slowwwww down. haha. I see any string skipping and I punch it from 0 to 60 ahahah

[Lord Abortion]

Sarah Deva, yeah, she's a good singer, but she's sure fat
It's amusing how the band torment her on tour though.

[The Masked Guitarist]

yes agreed

[HAIL TRUE METAL]

Sarah Deva, yeah, she's a good singer, but she's sure fat
It's amusing how the band torment her on tour though.
whatd they do?

[Lord Abortion]

Stuff like soaking her in water, and generally taking the piss.

[HAIL TRUE METAL]

hahaha that sucks for her

[Lord Abortion]

I point you in the direction of the DVD extras...

[I'm Charming]

I point you in the direction of the DVD extras...


Of which DVD?

[Lord Abortion]

Any one, really, but Heavy more than others.

[Aakon_Keetreh]

Im excited for the new album :)

[I'm Charming]

Im excited for the new album :)


I am too.

I'm hoping for something more like,

Midian/Dusk..../DaaD

[The Masked Guitarist]

me too anyone know name of it?
i might know already but im to lazy to think about it

[Lord Abortion]

Nah, nothing on that score yet.

[Insipid2000]

me too anyone know name of it?
i might know already but im to lazy to think about it

The new name of the album is Thornography.

[HAIL TRUE METAL]

theres an article about it on thegauntlet.com

[Lord Abortion]

There's nothing on the official site, so I'm disinclined to believe that.

[Insipid2000]

New album title explained... exclusive by Dani Filth

Seen as the title 'THORNOGRAPHY' for the new album was released without our knowledge a few days ago, cradleoffilth.com asked the band direct for an exclusive explination as to what it means.

This title represents mankind's obsession with sin and self. The thorn combines images of that which troubled Christ, the crown of thorns, thus intimating man's seeming desire to hurt God and also, of the protecting thorn and the need to enclose a secret place or the soul from attack.
An addiction to self punishment or something equally poisonous.
A mania. Twisted desires. Barbed dreams. A fetish.
An obsession with cruelty. Savage nature.
Paganism over Christianity.

The title can also represent a sexual attraction to religious iconography as in the case of the 'possessed' Lourdon nuns.

I like the title because to me it invokes images of a darker, sexier pre-Raphaelite scene wherein Sleeping Beauty's castle is won and she is awoken by a poisonous kiss.
A darker adult faerytale

[Huber]

That's something that attracts me to Cradle of Filth. The ideas are very mature, and done with great class.

[Crysiss]

Agreed.

When I first seen it, it seemed rather juvenile, but seeing deeper into the back story if it. It seems great.

^^ I thought there was a leak for a moment.

You had me and then threw me awaythere.

[The Masked Guitarist]

? im confused is it released?

[Lord Abortion]

No, its's not, but it sounds very interesting.

[The Masked Guitarist]

yes indeed
i wonder if its going to sound better ......

[HAIL TRUE METAL]

sound better than.....

[Shadows]

Thornography? Sounds like I popped in here at the perfect time. New Shadows Fall, new Cradle of Filth. I really like that title, and the story behind it is kickass. It seems like Dani is becoming a better writer as his career goes on. I'm so excited about this new album - he said it would be very rhythmic and borderline thrashy, so I'm hoping for something with a Midian/Damnation brutality to it with a bit of Nymphetamine melody.

[HAIL TRUE METAL]

that sounds like one hell of a CD! nice blend of CoF!

[The Masked Guitarist]

sound better than.....
nympehtimine (spelling i dont have any idea) (also to lazy to get up and get CD) but i loved every song from Guilded C*nt to Medusa and Hemlock but after that i relly thought the aldum went downhill and fast! but i hope they go like some superrheavy stuff :thumb:

Yeah it does sound like the lyrics are going to be amazing, but Dani Filth always impresses me.

He said that the songs are going to be very catchy though, so I don't know if you would like that or not.

Oh...and in one of their songs they feature the singer from HIM which seems rather unfortunate. :upset:

Despite that, I'll surely be getting this upon its release.

[The Masked Guitarist]

is not King Diamond on one of theses tracks as well ?!?!?!??!?
but i like King i like vocalist that do the highest of the highs or the lowest of the lows so king and dani fit right in there

[Thor]

That would be rather interesting, but that would surely fit a Cradle of Filth album. He's got the high pitched vocals to match.

Where did you hear this from?...because I'm pretty sure that sputnik news bulletin didn't say anything about him being in it.

[The Masked Guitarist]

wikipedia under Kind diamond ill try to get a link quick

[The Masked Guitarist]

Also in late 2005, King Diamond lent his vocals to a Cradle of Filth song, "Devil Woman". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Diamond
damnit i keep on double posting
\ starts smashing his head on to the desk!

There's nothing wrong with catchy as long as they have the creativity and technicality to go along with it. CoF never disappoints there.

I'm really tired of everyone immediately dismissing the album because Ville Valo is involved. I'm not saying you are, but some are virtually boycotting the album all because one guy has a very minimal part in the album. It's ridiculous.

[Lord Abortion]

Yeah, he sings a backing vocal on "The Byronic man"

[Apocalyptic Raids]

King Diamond guest vocals redeems any credibility that would be lost by featuring that other guy.

[Thor]

I'm not saying that I boycotting the album, I'm just saying that the song will probably end up annoying me because I'm sick and tired of HIM.

[azbassman]

I'm not saying that I boycotting the album, I'm just saying that the song will probably end up annoying me because I'm sick and tired of HIM.
You never know until you give it a listen.

[Thor]

You never know until you give it a listen.
You're right, but I can still have an opinion and create a guess as to whether I'd like it or not.

[HAIL TRUE METAL]

Predictions never have to be right. I'm hoping for this album to kick some a$$

[Shadows]

I'm not saying that I boycotting the album, I'm just saying that the song will probably end up annoying me because I'm sick and tired of HIM.
It's not like the guy is taking over Dani's place or anything. He's just doing some guest singing on one song.

[Thor]

It's not like the guy is taking over Dani's place or anything. He's just doing some guest singing on one song.
Well I know that. I'm not trying to start an argument here, I'm just saying that I think it won't be as good as the other songs on the album.

[Huber]

He'll probably sing choruses or something in one of the songs. I don't really like HIM either, but who cares. Maybe he can add a nice touch of vox.

[HAIL TRUE METAL]

I can't really see how Villie Valo would do in a CoF song. i actually wanna hear it

[The Masked Guitarist]

/ has now learned how to play From The Cradle To Enslave on bass

[HAIL TRUE METAL]

the video for that is super fukked up

[The Masked Guitarist]

the video for that is super fukked up
i've never seen it but i love the song :chug:

[Crysiss]

the video for that is super fukked up


I like your choice of words there Ryan:)

[The Masked Guitarist]

/bought crultey and the beast and is obbsseseed with it!!!!!!!

[Shadows]

I can't believe the new Thornography cover has been banned in the US. :mad: They could've at least posted it!!!!

[The Masked Guitarist]

that sucks .........

[azbassman]

I just picked up 'Peace Through Superior Firepower'. For those that havent seen it it, i suggest it.

[Lord Abortion]

Yeah, it's a pretty cool DVD.

[I'm Charming]

He'll probably sing choruses or something in one of the songs. I don't really like HIM either, but who cares. Maybe he can add a nice touch of vox.

I hate that HIM guy with a passion. He looks and more importantly in this case, sounds like a little bitch.

Nuff said.

Prolly will be a track to skip, unless his screams from being tortured on in that song. Never know!


I'm expecting a continuation of where they're headed as a band. Nothing bad or great.

[HAIL TRUE METAL]

anyone hear the gay news?

Thornography's album art is banned in the US.

[Cocaine]

Yeah, that was posted already. I want to see it.

[I'm Charming]

Yeah, that was posted already. I want to see it.


It's prolly just boobies. :p

[Cocaine]

All the more reason for me wanting to see it.

[I'm Charming]

All the more reason for me wanting to see it.


haha. I don't need album art to see boobies.

/diss

[Lord Abortion]

Yeah, I want me some bewbs.

[Shadows]

Hey Ollie?

<3 :)

[Cocaine]

haha. I don't need album art to see boobies.

/diss
Me neither, I have a girlfriend, but the more boobs I get to the better.

[HAIL TRUE METAL]

dude they wouldnt ban the album art because of boobs. i remember going to a CD store and seeing the darkness album with a chick and her being topless. if they are going to ban this CoF album art they might as well ban every cannibal corpse album art as well

[Shadows]

Virtually every CC album cover is banned.

[Cocaine]

Yeah, I was going to say.

[HAIL TRUE METAL]

i still see it at stores lol

[Shadows]

They aren't completely banned in the US, but they all have consored covers that are supposed to be sold with the originals.

[I'm Charming]

i still see it at stores lol


Go to.

Best Buy, FYE, Sam Goody etc etc. They don't have censor cases.

[Lord Abortion]

Hey Ollie?

<3 :)
Hey Ben old chap.

How's life?

I'm loving Dusk and her embrace at the moment.

[Neoteric]

dude they wouldnt ban the album art because of boobs. i remember going to a CD store and seeing the darkness album with a chick and her being topless. if they are going to ban this CoF album art they might as well ban every cannibal corpse album art as well
Akercocke's first few albums have boobs on the front and they aren't banned.

[Shadows]

Hey Ben old chap.

How's life?

I'm loving Dusk and her embrace at the moment.
Lo, 'tis Lord Ollie.

Life is sweet. :)

I'm in a Cruelty and the Beast mood right now.

[Cocaine]

Akercocke's first few albums have boobs on the front and they aren't banned.
They'll probably be vampired up, bloody or some lame Dani-Filthesque **** like that.

That's of course if we're still assuming that it is boob related bannage.

edit: Just saw the cover. It's not really that bad, it's just because it's a headless Jesus that it's banned.

http://www.cradleoffilth.com/cof/thornography_cover.jpg

[HAIL TRUE METAL]

w.......t........f

im gona have to hear from the US government why they are banning it. this is pathetic

[Shadows]

edit: Just saw the cover. It's not really that bad, it's just because it's a headless Jesus that it's banned.

http://www.cradleoffilth.com/cof/thornography_cover.jpg
That's the official cover, not the banned cover.

I like it.

[Cocaine]

Oh.

I was going to say.

[Aakon_Keetreh]

I wish i got to see the banned cover.

[HAIL TRUE METAL]

ooohhhh they shouldve said that, unless a bunch of people didnt pay attention to where it would say new album art cover. i wonder if i could possibly buy the CD online, but on a UK site and get the unbanned cover

[Lord Abortion]

I don't know if they're going to release the banned in the US one over here, or just the new one all over.

[Aakon_Keetreh]

I think there just using the new one for all over, but im not completely sure.

[HAIL TRUE METAL]

that would be unfair to all the other countries

EDIT: while i was trying to see if the banned cover is posted online i came across this fact...

According to a posting on the British extreme metallers' official web site, the original "Thornography" cover was "banned" in the U.S. by the band's record company, Roadrunner Records.

...hence, it was the US government who banned it. It was RR records who did

[Insipid2000]

Anyone still like CoF there has been **** all discussion about them lately.

[Shred Danson]

I've been lsitening to Nymphetamine a lot lately. Yes, I know that's their newest album, but I enjoy it a lot more than their previous work. Good stuff. I used to be a closet Filth fan, :lol:

[Shadows]

There's nothing wrong with liking Nymphetamine. I keep coming back to it because it's just another solid Cradle of Filth album!

[Shred Danson]

There's nothing wrong with liking Nymphetamine. I keep coming back to it because it's just another solid Cradle of Filth album!

Indeed. Not bad at all.

[azbassman]

I still really like Damnation and A Day.....Better to Reign in Hell is just awsome.

[Shred Danson]

I still really like Damnation and A Day.....Better to Reign in Hell is just awsome.

That's one of the few tracks I actually enjoy from that CD. Damnation and A Day was just kinda...boring, hah.
