YES!!! CRADLE RULES!!! \m/

I have all of their studio album; saw them in concert three times this summer. I even got to meet them and get my Damnation cd signed.

oooooooeh keoooooooooooool

I love Cradle of Filth. Midian was probably my favorite album from them. I haven't had a chance yet to check out their latest album, but I've listened to pretty much everything else. They're definitely the type of band people are either going to really like, or reaallly hate ;)

Dani Filth is 4 feet tall.

I like the keyboards on some of their albums. But their keyboardist is no Janne Warman.


That's about it.

I like the keyboards on some of their albums. But their keyboardist is no Janne Warman.


Heh, well who is really? ;) Well besides Jordan Rudess of Dream Theater. That guy is unreal. But I think the keyboards for COF are suitable enough for their thing.

Well, good point. Jordan Rudess and Janne Warman are in a class by themselves. I do however enjoy COF's keyboards and drumming as well. One of my ex girlfriends left her COF videos over here and we used to watch them all the time. The drummer has some nice double bass work. I just noticed I type in non-sequiturs. lol

:o dani is really small he's about my size hahaha but okay
he is zooooooooooooooooooooooooo F*cking cute
so he's cute and he make's good music :P :P :P

Cradle of Filth is a great band. The best album they put out thus far has got to be "Midian".. if you get a chance, pick it up at your local cd shop and give it a listen.

They also have an amazine live show. If they are playing live in your area check them out. you will not be disappointed.

i all ready heva all the albums an dvd's now the only thing we need are the limmeted editions

They kinda scare me. :? I downloaded a ton of their songs due to a friend's recommendation but haven't really listened to them too indepth... but... that guy's voice. Whoa. o_O

That Satanic Mantra song is awesome though. *skips around chanting it*

yeah my boyfriend loves 'em.....so does some of his friends...I think there...weird. lol

I like 'em well enough, I've got Dusk and Her Embrace and Bitter Suites to the Succubi. Has any one checkd out the Cradle of Fear movie with Dani?

yaaaaaaaaeh cradle of fear is coooooooooooooooooooooooool
hahahahha
soo fake that its funny hahahahahaha

<------ luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurvs COF.................. *sniggles her COF cd* *bangs head constantly* ra fa la blah ca na .... asldkfjaslkdfjaslkjfdlksdjfs...



lol they rock!


*rubbs tummy* It ok Toby.. I wont make you listed to it all the time...

~*ValkyrieMarie*~

whoa....they are SCAR-Y! i know a couple of their songs...one of them is like, "something something lend me thy light....something something heaven in sight" its a bit disturbing to me, the lyrics, that is. the music itself is pretty cool.

what's their best cd? i like midian. i only have three cd's from cof,
how many are there?

Hahah! I love that SeXaY Dani. He's a deeply disturbed fellow, but still hot! I've heard, though, that he's one of the dirtiest men on the planet (hygeine-wise). Kinda funny, his last name being Filth.

I do like some of their music - I was all about Dusk and Her Embrace and Cruely and the Beast back in high school. I haven't heard a lot of their stuff in the last few years. I did go to see them at Ozzfest this summer...and ended up in the middle of the moshpit. Some psycho girl kept running into me, so I elbowed her in the gut. A lady's gotta do what a lady' gotta do, y'now? Nonetheless, they had a pretty cool stageshow - some evil demoness-kinda chick was on stilts, rode a human horse (hmm) and then she swung horizontally around a rope in the middle of the air. Definitely made my day.

Oh, and Cradle of Fear was nuts. I love the cheesy special effects. ;)

:rofl: My kinda gal. Gotta love a lady who can hold her own in the mosh pit...heh :D

Some people are such n00bs in mosh pits. I had some guy come running up to me in the pit at a Napalm Death concert and punch me in the face for no reason. That was a bad idea on his part. I kinda body slammed him ;)

Oh yeah, that just blew me away! By the way, her name is Satyr (stage-name, at least). When she started swinging on that rope, the floor activity died down as everyone just stared at her, jaws on the ground. Oh yeah, and it was also very cool when she came out near the end of the set with a circular-saw or something and started generating sparks against her body (wearing a metal corset or something, i'd assume).

My favorite cds are probably Midian and Dusk & Her Embrace. And V Empire - that one rocks hardcore!

Edit:
Just saw this on the official site:


Cradle Of Filth will be embarking on a headlining US tour in November. Full details and dates to be announced soon.


Yeah! I'm so there!

I like Cradle of Filth - but they scare me - dont ask me why - i like the music but they scare me. They're great though

Gotta love a lady who can hold her own in the mosh pit...
Hehee, it's funny, because I used to go crazy all the time when I was younger...now my fiancé is uber protective of me - and he doesn't like it when I go to concerts alone, so I always miss out on the action. I managed to get separated from him that day (a thing that I sometimes count as good) so me and one of my chick friends got in there and got wild.

Oh yeah, and it was also very cool when she came out near the end of the set with a circular-saw or something and started generating sparks against her body (wearing a metal corset or something, i'd assume).
OMG I can't believe it - I'd totally forgot about that. Yeah, I was watching that like "damn..." and you could see the slash marks into the metal behind the sparks. That was awesome. I think I liked the rope-swinging a little more, though. Yeah, everyone in the crowd was watching that with their jaws on the floor. T'was great.

DEC 19 /03 CRADLE IS COMIN TO T.O.! YEA! my life has been given some meaning! ... to go see cradle and get ev to T.O.!

Personally, i love them, what about you?

i've always really liked the music, but i find it hard to listen to the vocals for extended periods of time.

i like them in the compilation way that was discussed in the manson thread.

I'm witrh dev. I love the music, but the lyrics and vocals just make me laugh.

they aren't really my thing.

I note there wasn't a choice in the poll for "Sucks Monkey Ass till Doomsday"

So I can't really vote.

;)

Personally, i love them, what about you?

I love them too!!. They are going to tour with Moonspell and Type O Negavite. have you hear of them?

The only tune of theirs [that I've heard] I can stand listening to is that spiffy Archangel chant, whatever it's called. The shrill screaming vocals make me want to tear my ears off. :?

Love them! For some reason the vocals always appealed to me (to the point of screeching along with the cds; hard on the throat, though).

They are going to tour with Moonspell and Type O Negavite. have you hear of them?

I'll be at the Chicago Show on the 22nd; i love Type O, but i'm not familiar with Moonspell.

I like Cradle of Filth but Im not a big fan or anything. The music's good but only if you listen to it for a limited time. If I spent like over an hour listening I'd probably go mad.

wish i could go see them, dani rules, is it true their gigs are 18+? One of my mates cousins went to see Cradle a few years ago, time of midian i believe and he came back with a split lip, bruised nose and dislicated jaw, violent but still, worth the adrenelin rush.

Anyone here like Cradle of Filth? ( not more than Ev of course).
Musically, they have some talent, and the lyrics are extremely
complex and to an extent, mysterious.

CoF is extremely fuckin' great!! I'm still wondering if there is some music of them that I don't like... I couldn't find anyone till now... Dani Filth is great composer and singer too!!

eh, not really, i saw one of their videos, and i was a little, well, disturbed. :eek:

Dani Filth is a short man.

And funny looking too. They have a couple okay songs, but I prefer Dimmu Borgir.

I too probably prefer Dimmu a bit more, but still, I can dig the Cradle.

eh, not really, i saw one of their videos, and i was a little, well, disturbed. :eek:

What network is playing CoF videos? What did you find disturbing about it?
There do seem to be a lot of weird symbols on their CD jackets.

I do remember seeing a video on Uranium on Fuse...It was one of the songs from Damnation and a Day....just dont remember which one. :/

I get about 6 Video channels but not those....several MTV's & VH1's,
plus some skater-type stuff that I never watch. Never heard CoF on
my local rock station either
:(

they could be pagan runes...can you describe any to me?i will check them in my runes book
i like some c.o.f songs(speshly from the cradle to enslave) but i have to admit that i like the lyrics way more than the actual songs
ohnomyquotethingdidntwork!

C o F is funny!
And their videos are really hilarious!
Nothing disturbing about it! If you want disturbed shit (or just strange) try The Mentors or GWAR's videos...
Also I enjoy more Emperor or Acheron... anyhow all these bands's lyrics are totally ridiculous.

I am not totally sure what video you saw, the ones I've seen on TV aren't bad at all, you've gotta find Scorched Earth Erotica, From The Cradle to Enslave are really graphic... They Don't Disturb me, but they would really mess with someone else haha.

Brandon J.

CoF is awesome.... just a note though... you might want to think twice before letting them in your hotel room, haha!

I'd let them into my hotel room, but I'd wear a spikey dog collar so they couldn't suck my blood...

Wo! What's up with all the Cradle of Filth bashing here...They're so awesome! Has anybody ever heard "The Smoke of Her Burning" or "Her Ghost in the Fog"....? They have the most amazing lyrics, I think. They're here on December 4th...I'm soooo excited.

Cradle are fucking amazing, I love their Nymphetmine album.

I think their lyrics and style are amazing. And their videos are fucking awesome.

I love the Band..... AND THEY ARE ENGLISH :D

Has anybody ever see their movie??

Wow...old thread.

A few people like them at my school, but I've never listened to 'em. I have a feeling that the lyrics would be sad, however. Just by the girl that I talk to a lot who has a sweatshirt of theirs, and they look kind of sad and depressed.

But hey, nothing wrong with that. :D

My fav are Cruelty And The Beast and their last opus Nymphetamine.

I used to like them way more back in the day..... I still enjoy them sometimes :)

Their lyrics are amazing. I'll post the lyrics to their newest song just because I'm such a music evangelist lol.

Nymphetamine (Overdose)

Evanescent like the scent of decay
I was fading from the race
When in despair, my darkest days
Ran amok and forged her face
From the fairest of handmaidens to
A slick perverted wraith

Nymphetamine

Heaving midst narcissus
On a maledict blanket of stars
She was all three wishes
Sex, sex, sex

A lover hung on her death row
I was hooked on her disease
Highly strung like Cupid's bow
Whose arrows hungered meat
And the blinding flare of passion
In the shade of narrow streets
Where their poison never rationed
All the tips they left in me

Two tracks
Bric-a-brac
Something passed between us
Like a bad crack
Upward-lit
I'd met another kind

Of rat
In fact
With every rome inside me
Licked and ransacked
She haunted at the corners of my mind

In black
Cataracts
Wouldn't whitewash away
Her filthy smoke stack
She burnt me like a furnace
For my future suicide

Lead to the river
Midsummer, I waved
A 'V'' of black swans
On with hope to the grave
All through Red September
With skies fire-paved
I begged you appear
Like a thorn for the holy ones

Cold was my soul
Untold was the pain
I faced when you left me
A rose in the rain
So I swore to the razor
That never, enchained
Would your dark nails of faith
Be pushed through my veins again

Bared on your tomb
I'm a prayer for your loneliness
And would you ever soon
Come above unto me?
For once upon a time
From the binds of your lowliness
I could always find
The right slot for your sacred key

Six feet deep is the incision
In my heart, that barless prison
Discolours all with tunnel vision
Sunsetter
Nymphetamine
Sick and weak from my condition
This lust, a vampyric addiction
To her alone in full submission
None better
Nymphetamine

Nymphetamine, nymphetamine
Nymphetamine girl
Nymphetamine, nymphetamine
My nymphetamine girl

Wracked with your charm
I am circled like prey
Back in the forest
Where whispers persuade
More sugar trails
More white lady laid
Than pillars of salt

Fold to my arms
Hold their mesmeric sway
And dance her to the moon
As we did in those golden days

Christening stars
I remember the way
We were needle and spoon
Mislaid in the burning hay

Bared on your tomb
I'm a prayer for your loneliness
And would you ever soon
Come above unto me?
For once upon a time
From the binds of your lowliness
I could always find
The right slot for your sacred key

Six feet deep is the incision
In my heart, that barless prison
Discolours all with tunnel vision
Sunsetter
Nymphetamine
Sick and weak from my condition
This lust, a vampyric addiction
To her alone in full submission
None better
Nymphetamine

Sunsetter
Nymphetamine (Nymphetamine)

There's female vocals on that song that originally Cristina Scabbia was supposed to do, but she backed out at the last second.

This is another one of their really amazing songs

Lord Abortion

I was born with a birthmark of cinders
Debris cast from the stars and Mother
A ring of bright slaughter, I spat in the waters
Of life that ran slick from the stabwounds in Her

Dub Me Lord Abortion, the living dead
The bonesaw on the backseat
On this bitter night of giving head
A sharp rear entry, an exit in red
Lump in the throat, on my come choke
The killing joke worn thin with breath

I grew up on the sluts bastard Father beat blue
Keepsake cunts cut full out easing puberty through

Aah! Nostalgia grows
Now times nine or ten
Within this vice den called a soul
Dying resurrection
I dig deep to come again
The spasm of orgasm on a roll...

I live the slow serrated rape
The bucks fizz of amyl nitrate
Victims force fed thair own face
Tear stains upon the drape
I should compare them
To a warm Summer's day
But to the letter, it is better
To lichen their names to a grave

Counting My years on an abacus strung
With labial rings and heartstrings undone

Dub Me Lord Abortion, the living dead
The bonesaw on the backseat
On this bitter night of giving head
A sharp rear entry, an exit in red
Lump in the throat, on My come choke
The killing joke worn thin with breath

Horrorscopes My diorama
A twelve part (so far) psychodrama
Another chained I mean to harm Her
Inside as well as out
A perverts gasp inside the mask
I'm hard, blow My house of cards
All turn up Death, Her bleeding starts
In brute vermillion parts...

Now I slither through the hairline cracks
In sanity, best watch your back

Possessed with levering Hell's gates wide
Liberating knives to cut Humanity slack

My ambition is to slay anon
A sinner in the hands of a dirty God
Who lets Me prey, a Gilles De Rais
Of light where faith leads truth astray

I slit guts guts and free the moistest facces
Corrupt the corpse and seize the choicest pieces
Her alabaster limbs that dim the lit carnal grin
Vaginal skin to later taste and masturbate within

"My heart was a wardrum beat
By jugular cults in eerie jungle vaults
When number thirteen fell in My lap
Lips and skin like sin, a Venus Mantrap
My appetite whetted, storm crows wheeled
At the blurred edges or reason 'til I was fulfilled
Whors d'oeuvres eaten, I tucked Her into
A grave coffin fit for the Queen of Spades
She went out like the light in My mind
Her face an avalanche of pearl, of ruby wine...
Much was a flux, but the mouth once good for fucks
Came from retirement to prove She had not lost Her touch
I kissed Her viciously, maliciously, religiously
But when has ONE been able TO best seperate the THREE?
I know I'm sick as Dahmer did, but this is what I do
Aah, aah, ahh, I'll let you sleep when I am through..."

The suspect shadow sher they least
Expect My burning grasp to reach

The stranglehold, the opened arms
Seeking sweet meat with no holes barred

Rainbows that My razors wrung
Midst Her screams and seams undone
Sung at the top of punctured lungs
I bite My spiteful tongue
Lest curses spat from primal lairs
Freeze romance where Angels, bare
Are lost to love, bloodloss, despair
I weep, they merely stare...
And stare, and stare, and stare, and stare.

okay, make that two :rolleyes:

Her Ghost In The Fog

"The Moon, she hangs like a cruel portrait
soft winds whisper the bidding of trees
as this tragedy starts with a shattered glass heart
and the Midnightmare trampling of dreams
But no, no tears please
Fear and pain may accompany Death
But it is desire that shepherds it's certainty
as We shall see..."

She was divinity's creature
That kissed in cold mirrors
A Queen of Snow
Far beyond compare
Lips attuned to symmetry
Sought Her everywhere
Dark liqoured eyes
An Arabian nightmare...

She shone on watercolours
Of my pondlife as pearl
Until those who couldn't have Her
Cut Her free of this World

That fateful Eve when...
The trees stank of sunset and camphor
Their lanterns chased phantoms and threw
An imquisitive glance, like the shadows they cast
On my love picking rue by the light of the moon

Putting reason to flight
Or to death as their way
They crept through woods mesmerized
By the taffeta Ley
Of Her hips that held sway
Over all they surveyed
Save a mist on the rise
(A deadly blessing to hide)
Her ghost in the fog

They raped left...
(Five men of God)
...Her ghost in the fog

Dawn discovered Her there
Beneath the Cedar's stare
Silk dress torn, Her raven hair
Flown to gown Her beauty bared
Was starred with frost, I knew Her lost
I wept 'til tears crept back to prayer

She'd sworn Me vows in fragrant blood
"Never to part
Lest jealous Heaven stole our hearts"

Then this I screamed:
"Come back to Me
I was born in love with thee
So why should fate stand inbetween?"

And as I drowned Her gentle curves
With dreams unsaid and final words
I espied a gleam trodden to earth
The Church bell tower key...

The village mourned her by the by
For She'd been a witch
their Men had longed to try
And I broke under Christ seeking guilty signs
My tortured soul on ice

A Queen of snow
Far beyond compare
Lips attuned to symmetry
Sought Her everywhere
Trappistine eyes
An Arabian nightmare...

She was Ersulie possessed
Of a milky white skin
My porcelain Yin
A graceful Angel of Sin

And so for Her...
The breeze stank of sunset and camphor
My lantern chased Her phantom and blew
Their Chapel ablaze and all locked in to a pain
Best reserved for judgement that their bible construed...

Putting reason to flight
Or to flame unashamed
I swept form cries
Mesmerized
By the taffeta Ley
Or Her hips that held sway
Over all those at bay
Save a mist on the rise
A final blessing to hide
Her ghost in the fog

And I embraced
Where lovers rot...
Her ghost in the fog

Her ghost in the fog

I merged this with the "debate" on Cradle of Filth.

Cos, y'know... it wasn't one.

I love cradle of filth, the lyrics are amazingly well written (if perverted) and the music and vocal styles fit the mood they conjur up perfectly. I own the Midian, cruelty and the beast, damnation and a day and Nymphetamine albums. I want to get Principle..... to see what there earlier stuff was like. Fav. songs include:

lord abortion
ghost in the fog
death magick for adepts (midian)

thirteen autums and a widow
cruelty brought thee orchids
desire in violent overture (cruelty and the beast)

hurt and virtue
better to reign in hell (damnation and a day)

swansong for a raven
nymphetamine (nymphetamine)

i love nymphetamine, its a great song with a cool video. they have.. erm.. interesting lyrics. that would have been cool if Cristina Scabbia got to do the female vocals.

I think Liv did an amazing job as the vocals..I love how it kind of bridges in with the "six feet deep is the incision" part. It sounds so amazing.

Just because you wanted to use the devilish red font in a COF thread.

is Dani Filth blind?

is Dani Filth blind?


lol..is that sarcastic for some reason, or not? ...And if you're being serious, no, he's not lol.

lol..is that sarcastic for some reason, or not? ...And if you're being serious, no, he's not lol.
i wasnt being sarcastic. every time someone talks about C.O.F at school.. they go "did you know the lead singer is blind??". so i was just wondering.

haha no, Dani is not blind. <3 He's really fucking hot though! And he's got really nice eyes..

I have only recently been listening to them. I looooove nymphetamine Awesome awesome song :)

I heard nymphetamine two weeks ago on Headbanger's Ball. That's the only song I've heard from them and I loved it. I think I'm going to get their cd tomorrow.

I have 3 Cradle of Filth albums and i like them all. My favorite song is "thirteen autumns and a widow" on the Album "Cruelty and the Beast". Dani Filth is my most favorite male Singer....(Amy gets the first place for female Singers :)"
But i can understand that many people don´t like him, it´s not everybodys musik. But then i ask myself why "Daniel Küblböck" got on the first place in the german Single Charts,.... for all who don´t know him (and I think and hope that not many of you know him...) he was the third place in ome of those !"&%("§ Castingshows and he can´t sing and is screaming around tho whole time just like Dani Filth (but only Muuuuuuuuuch worse with MUUUUUUUUUUCH more Stupid Lyrics) . But who cares ... you can kick the Charts into the garbage can, at least in Germany :)

Avanos

I think that the lyrics on Cruelty and the Beast rule all, not that the lyrics on thier other albums aren't equally as poetic.

Woo!! Thats my favourite COF song too!! well one of them anyway.

I love cradle of filth,they are one of my fave black metal bands,my friend recently made me a mix cd with their music on it,but he failed to tell me what songs were on it. he said it had music from all so their cds ,ill have to figure out which songs are on it on my own lol they r a awesome band though

Dani's voice in Lord Abortion is fucking amazing. He's got like the hottest male voice ever. Their lyrics are amazing. They're here on December 4th...It's going to be awesome. Someone was telling me about how in Vancouver, Dani would dress up in his costume and just walk up and down the street and scare people. It sounded hilarious.

I've just never liked Jordan Rudess. I saw the DVD..parts of it..he's so mixed down. It's all guitar in that band anyway.

Keith Emerson could wipe a stage with Jordan Rudess...

I'm keeping myself out of it.

Bringing this thread back to life... ;)

For some strange reason, Craddle Of Filth is very well known here in Colombia. Don't ask me why. Everywhere I go I see some Shirts or pins or whatever. I went to a very very poor town the last vacations to make social service, and in some stores I saw a lot of stuff of craddle. I was like "wtf? we're in the middle of nowhere".

I really don't mind the Black Metal kind of music. Some songs are cool, but others are way out off the line. Some bands really exagerate. But craddle seems to pull it off very very well. They where here in Colombia two months ago :) . I couldn't go, but I'm happy they came.
One song I really like is Nymphetamine (To be part of the cliché ;)), but the whole version. Not just when Liv sings.

I must admit that their style is creepy, lol. Seriously. A person with a weak mind can easily go crazy litsening to the music. I'm not kidding here. Some people take way too seriously what a band wants to represent with the image and lyrics.

Oh well

~AnaC.

I'm going to see them tonight on the Headbangers Ball Tour...shall be interesting.

Ok. I went to HT and liked this one song. I asked an employee and she said, "Hm...Cradle of Filth something..." I was like, "Er...thanks....(not)" But yeah. It sounded like there was a woman singing. It also sounded somewhat churchy....like.....some church hymn or something.....I dunno. I kinda forgot what it sounds like, but if I heard it, I'd prolly recognize it..Please....anyone.....

Im guessing it was Nyphemtamine. Just a guess though, Dani Filth uses a women as a backing vocal alot of the time.

Oh! That was the one! I love it! Thanks! Btw...who is that woman? I love her voice....

Nymphetamine was nominated for a Grammy for Best Metal Performance.

Interesting tidbit.

3 of the 5 nominees in that category were featured in the Resident Evil 2 soundtrack.

Nymphetamine, The End of Heartache by KsE and Slipknot's Vermillion.

What are some other songs with that woman singing? Omfg, I love her voice....it's hypnotizing................. :eek:

Amy still pwns!

I heard one song (can't remember the name of the song) and it sound very good. *goes to the recordshop to buy an album* I like singers voice.

What are some other songs with that woman singing? Omfg, I love her voice....it's hypnotizing................. :eek:

Amy still pwns!

Nope, sorry, not on the Nyphetamine album (except for the Bonus track at the end).

What about their other stuff? Does she sing on their other albums? If she had her own album.....I'd SO buy it....I'm telling you....her voice is hypnotizingly beautiful and lullaby-ish.....

Sorry, but too my knowledge not. I own Nymphetamine, Damnation and a day, Midean, and Cruelty and the beast and the only real female singing is on that track. A little on "Her ghost in the fog", but hardly to the same degree.

their new song nymphetamine is fantastic, i just found out they are english, WOW!
But, they are pretty scary, and is the lead singer a man or a women?!? :confused:

they scare the crap outta me.
The lead singer is posessed by a demon or something.
The only good thing about em is the chick doing the backing haunting type vocals.
i have to agree. the guy is messed up and creepy. i thought he was a woman when i saw him in kerrang lol

Guy. A pretty cool one if you ask me, alot of people judge the band without trying to give them a chance or see the depth in their lyrics or work. Not having a go at you just ranting in my bordem.

People at my school are like: OMG, THAT TOTALY GAWTH BAND.. Cradle of Filth, TOTALLY SUCK ASS, COZ LIKE HE MINGIN N SHIT *pulls trigger*

I love their Nymphetamine album, it is one of my favorite albums. *looks at avatar :)*

Its good, but not my favourite. I think cruelty and the beast is better lyrically. But that's just me.

People at my school are like: OMG, THAT TOTALY GAWTH BAND.. Cradle of Filth, TOTALLY SUCK ASS, COZ LIKE HE MINGIN N SHIT *pulls trigger*

I love their Nymphetamine album, it is one of my favorite albums. *looks at avatar :)*
I hate the word "minging" , yucky :p

I thikn they are ok, but I find them hard to listen to, not that hardcore yet, but My friend loves them.

Lmao you changed your avatar again, yayness ;)

their new song nymphetamine is fantastic

i second that, that whole album is really good.

im not particularly attracted to danni or the rest of the band but there music is good and they most definatley have a way with words. some of the lyrics are tongue tiers.

Exactly. I must confess I was one of them. I looked at them at the begining and I was like "yeah right. Another 'Look-At-Me-I'm-Scary' band.". But then I don't know why I read some of the lyrics and I was completely amazed. People that don't know them should really give them a chance.

yeah people should at least give them a chance.

I love Cradle of Filth, but only because I think that they are amusing. I mean I do like Her Ghost in the Fog, that is one INSANE video. I think most of the members are kinda hot too. I like them though in general, they are a good band. Satanic, but funny and kick ass! :)

I know them. they are cool.
their last song Nymphetomine rules.
my favourite video is From the Cradle to ensalve..
its really.. scary.. :)

My favorite video is the Born In A Buriel Gown one. The vampireism is very cool.

they scare the crap outta me.

yes, Liv Kristine did a great job on their new song/video. :D

yes, Liv Kristine did a great job on their new song/video. :D
liv kristine is so pretty...i think dani looks very good in the nymphetamine video. the whole nymph cd is great... :cool:

Cradle of Filth rock \m/\m/ :D

I was going to see them in St. Louis a couple of weeks ago, then my ride fell through. *kills brother* Eeeevil :p .

Dani is so hot it's scary. *drools* ;)

Does anyone know if they are touring the UK anytime soon, because I really want to see them live.

I have two of there CD's I kind of like them. Not as much as other Metal bands but still they are not half bad.

CoF = good... But the "high pitch screaming" is not what death metal is (according too all the metal listeners i know..)

But still, I likes it :) not when I have a headache though.. then it's just noise =O

What about their other stuff? Does she sing on their other albums? If she had her own album.....I'd SO buy it....I'm telling you....her voice is hypnotizingly beautiful and lullaby-ish.....

Also check out Theatre of Tragedy, I'm thinking she is one of their vocalists.
;)

Yes...They have a full European tour starting right away. And no, Liv doesn't sing in their other songs. She was solely in Nymphetamine. Orginallyi t was supposed to be Cristina, from LC, but she dropped out last minute so they chose Liv instead. They've got another girl, Sarah, who sings in mosto f thier other songs.

And yeah, Dani is so beautiful in the Nymphetamine video. Everyone should watch it on Launch.com if you've not already seen it. ..They've got lots of videos though...They do have 17 albums out.

Has anybody ever heard "Thank God for the suffering" ...? Amazing lyrics.


And I was really dissappointed to that they didn't play Lord Abortion on the HBB tour! ....I talked to Dani and he promised to play it next time, lol. When I have time, I've got to tell everyone about my connections with Cradle. It's quite the interesting story. Does anybody else know/ever met them??


<3

THANK YOU April, i am planning to go see them on Halloween :D

You know them?! You're so very lucky! I'd like to hear yout story. I think my favorite song by them is 'Her Ghost In The Fog', but I don't know for sure, there's just too many good songs to choose from. Don't you find it a little bit annoying when people gripe about Dani's voice? I think he's got one of the most original voices out there. I know he screams, but to me it sounds as if he's doing it on pitch, if that makes any sense. Plus he doesn't just scream, he alternates from growling, to screaming, to screeching, to singing sometimes, and so forth. Ahh, I could listen to them all day. :D

Not really know them, but there's been a few... "situations" with me and a few of their band members lol. Major age difference, I know...and I've never done anything like that with Dani because of Toni, but yeah. We talked for a few hours after the concert, and i'm pretty good friends with Johnny from Himsa (the opening band on the HBB tour) so he keeps us in contact. Those guys rock my fucking. Al the guys from cradle are so sweet, and they're just so beautiful and amazing. They kept telling me I was so beautiful and how they'd love to have me as a model on one of their albums and Dani and James got pissed because the bus driver kept telling me to show my tits lol. you can tell Dani is a pretty different guy. But they're all amazing. I have so many stories I could tell you guys about but they'd take forever to type.

So Dave (bassist) is back in the band now, but Adrian left...Cradle is presently without a permanent keyboardist but they have two basists. They're European tour is going to be very long lasting....I cannot wait until they come back here.

Ahh thanks for bringing this thread back April.

Has anyone heard anything about a US tour? Even just a rumor. I need my Cradle....*cries*

They just finished their American tour in February...They're not going to be back for a while. Their European tour isnt over until Mid December.

Did they ever come to Atlanta or anywhere close to Tennessee on the US tour?
Anyway..I love my new Swansong for a Raven sig :D
-Jessica

They played at Masquerade in Atlanta around the 13th of November.

Ugh...I became a fan in December :(
Thats my luck lol, I always get into bands right after they come here or somewhere close to where I am.

lol I became a HUGE fan, right BEFORE they came to Calgary, but my problem was that I wasn't able to come up with the money in time. I'm still pissed at myself for that one lol.

Who has the Nymphetamine Special Edition? I love Soft White throat...but I love their cover of Bestial Lust. Bathory is one of my favorite bands of all time, and I was so happy to hear Cradle had a cover. It's fucking wicked \m/

So the special edition is worth buying for those who have the original Nymphetamine then ? Baring in mind im not such a hardcore fan that I want to pay another £15 for one or two songs :)

actually, there are six "new" songs on it. I've bought it some time ago (and yes, I've the "normal" version of nymphetamine too) and it costs me 19 $, not very cheap...

6 eh? well then I may just have to find a copy ......... when I have the money. Thanks.

the tracklist:

1) Devil Woman
2) Soft White Throat
3) Bestial Lust (Bitch)
4) Prey
5) Nymphetamine Jezebel Deva Mix
6) Mr. Crowley

I'd definately sayi t's worth buying just for Soft White Throat and Bestial Lust.

i totally agree with you :)

Thanks guy's, Ill get it. Although I want to buy Dusk and her embrace before hand. My favourite album right now is probably TPOEMF and I want to get more of their earlier work.

I just felt the need to say that Dusk... And Her Embrace is an amazing album. I would buy it before Nymphetamine too lol. Also, if you get a chance, buy Vempire. I highly reccomend it if you like Principle. It only has 6 songs, but trust me it's worth it lol. It's kind of rare though, but if you were able to get Principle, you should be able to find Vempire.

Does Liv sing on any of CoF's other songs, other than Nymphetamine?

Does Liv sing on any of CoF's other songs, other than Nymphetamine?
Nope she only sings on Nymphetamine Fix and Overdose :)

I love Nymphetamine Special Edition, all the cover songs are so good. I esp like Soft White Throat and Bestial Lust :D

They're awesome!!!!!

Hey,thanks for sharing the pictures,I love them :)

By the way,April,you probably did,but did you ever go to that concert? If so,how was it? One of these days I'll finally get the chance to go to a CoF concert,that'd be so awesome.
-Jessica

Hey! I love CoF !!!

BTW, if anyone wishes to download their new single "Nymphetamine", er... just look at my sig...

Later pals

great band. their lyrics actually have depth and meaning, which is not something commonly found in a lot of today's bands. i just recently got the special edition of their Nymphetamine album. i love everything about it.

my personal favorites of theirs would have to be...

Swansong for a Raven
Nymphetamine
Her Ghost in the Fog
From the Cradle to Enslave
The Smoke of Her Burning

these covers are excellent as well...

Hallowed Be Thy Name (Iron Maiden)
Angel of Death (Slayer)
Death Comes Ripping (Misfits)
Black Metal (Venom)
The Fire Still Burns (Twisted Sister)
Hell Awaits (Slayer)
Sodomy and Lust (Anathema)
Dawn of Eternity (Massacre)
No Time to Cry (Sisters of Mercy)
Sleepless (Anathema)
For Those Who Died (Sabbath)

the Hallowed Be Thy Name cover especially. makes the original sound like 24K shit.

I am going to see them in December :D \m/

They ALREADY have a new album coming out aty the end of August..Plus their new DVD.

When it comes to Cradle, I am God lol.
;)

I know...I almost died when I found out they were doing a bathory cover. Bathory is like pretty much my fav band of all time, (Almost haha ;))

We need to ditch one of these threads, though..

I know this is probably going to make me unpopular, but I personally thought that Nymphetamine sucked. For me, they've lost something....I think his lyrics are getting worse, and he's losing his voice. They're not as good as they used to be live. I either think their best album is Cruelty And The Beast, or Damnation And A Day. The lyrics on both of them are breathtaking. They're gothic masterpieces. Dani Filth is a genius. A little dwarf, but a genius all the same. I'd love to meet him. He's 5'3", and I'm 6'6". That'd be class. LOL He also shares my birthday. Rock on. :)

Actually I didn't think that Nymphetamine was as great as alot of people said it was either, I also think that overall Cruelty is my fav album, they seemed to have more energy on it. I didn't think it sucked, but it wasn't up to the standards of either Cruelty or Midian IMHO.

Im seeing them live in December and I can't wait :)

Nymphetamine really, REALLY strays away from their black metal origin.
A lot more keyboard and orchestral stuff...It's hard to compare.

Personally, I don't think they were EVER black metal...their first album, Principal, was kind of, but apart from that...meh. I would associate bands like Emperor more with black metal. And a lot of black metal has orchestration in (just not real orchestras most of the time, coz they can't afford them). Bands like Dimmu Borgir use real orchestras these days, and it sounds AMAZING....Death metal uses less orchestration. See Bleed Through or Cannibal Corpse....but that's not really my sort of thing.

I 100% agree. Cradle is not a Black Metal band. Nor do I classify them fully as a death metal band. But a lot of people do. They're more just a dark symphonic metal.

And..
Never say Dimmu Borgir is better than Cradle haha...You better sleep with one eye open for the rest of your life ;)

I have to agree,Dimmu Borgir doesnt have anything on Cradle...they just dont. And shes not kidding about that one eye shit...seriously ;)
-Jessicaa

Hold the phone...at no point did I say Dimmu Borgir were better than Cradle. LOL I just said they were a Black Metal band that used real orchestration. Cradle rock that shit a million times better than Dimmu.....

I love the big symphonic stuff, though (probably why I liked Damnation And A Day so much)...but real orchestration. Synthy stuff generally sounds SHITE! I wish metal bands had more money to fund things like real orchestras and stuff.....

On another topic, I still haven't heard anything by Leaves' Eyes (I was listening to Nympetamine and it just occured to me)....are they actually any good?

Leaves Eyes is okay...Liv has an incredible voice, but I can't get into their lyrics. They remind me of Nightwihs a lot, so I like them.

Theatre of Tragedy (Liv's old band) had much better lyrics.

Does anybody have any info on the release date of their new album, or, any information on the album at all?

Just to let everyone know... James (the unbelievably beautiful guitarist with the long, blonde hair) has left Cradle of Filth to finish his schooling. He is being replaced by Charles Hedger...He played bass for CoF while Dave was away.

This is quite upsetting to me :(


Codger...They're done about 60 % of the new album from what I've head,

I hope that means they will be doing another tour lol..., Because I am so excited about seeing them in December, and i will wanna do it again!

What ? Yet another line up change ? This has to mean that Cradle of Filth go through at least one per album............

Is this going to affect the tour they are currently on ?

On a side note I can't wait for the new material when it arrives. I have yet to be dissapointed with a COF album yet, rare for any band.

I'm sure I read in Metal Hammer that Cradle Of Filth had had something like 17 members come and go over the years.....I might be wrong. It was in the issue of Metal Hammer that had Dani, Tarja from Nightwish and Christina from Lacuna Coil on the front. Last year's Halloween edition, I thiink.

On the subject of Cradle's new album, they better improve on Nymphetamine, or I'm gonna hit them all. In the face. With a large bat.

Cover Artwork for the upcoming DVD:

http://www.cradleoffilth.com/cof/images/a_dvd_cover04.jpg

"Peace through Superior Firepower" is tentatively scheduled for a late October/early November release. The disc was filmed over two sold out shows in Paris on April 2-3, 2005 and will contain behind-the-scenes footage spanning the last three years of the band's existence. Also included will be the band's promotional videos and exclusive band interviews and other extras.

CRADLE OF FILTH are scheduled to enter the studio October 10 to begin recording the follow-up to last year's "Nymphetamine", tentatively due in early 2006 via Roadrunner Records. Songtitles set to appear on the CD include "I Am The Thorn", "Lovesick For Mina", "The Byronic Man", "Cemetery And Sundown", "Libertina Grimm", "The Flora Of Nightfall, The Fauna Of War" and "Dirge Inferno".

CRADLE OF FILTH's most recent release was "Nymphetamine: Special Edition", available now on Roadrunner. The collection features two all-new tracks ("Prey" and "Soft White Throat"), covers of OZZY OSBOURNE's "Mr. Crowley", BATHORY's "Bestial Lust" and CLIFF RICHARD's "Devil Woman", two previously unreleased tracks, all-new and expanded artwork, and the video for "Nymphetamine".

Wow, that DVD cover looks great, thanks for all the info TheVoid :D

Has anybod else noticed how much the cover looks like the Bitter Suites album cover?


It looks awesome though

Cradle have been nominated for this year's Kerrang Awards for Best British Band, I hope they win, because they deserve to. Their competition are:

Stereophonics
Funeral For A Friend
Placebo

So, I think they have a good chance considering the Darkness won last year!

Has anybod else noticed how much the cover looks like the Bitter Suites album cover?


It looks awesome though

I thought that when I looked at it actually, its a great cover.

(Btw April, you are a Bathory fan right? Could you tell me what they are like? Say in comparison to COF ?)

That was the first thing that came to my mind

(Btw April, you are a Bathory fan right? Could you tell me what they are like? Say in comparison to COF ?)

I'm a huge Bathory fan. I love Cradle more, but Bathory is incredible. Definately check out their lyrics if you're into Cradle's style of writing. Yeah....Bathory is fucking wicked...Definately one of my top 5 fav Black Metal bands.

And I can't believe the Darkness won last year haha.... I bet Cradle will win this year for sure just because of Nymphetamine. It's been winning them quite a bit since last summer.


Placebo...Brian Molko is HOT as fuck, but his band is almost bordering on the level of HIM. ...Who we all know compares nothing to Cradle.

I like the sound of their new songs, their title's are interesting...it makes me wanna hear them even more! :)

April, thanks, I might check Bathory out soon :D

H aven't really heard too much about them, I have heard a couple of songs, I thought they were pretty awesome. I definatley love the song Nymphetamine. It's awesome.

Excited at the prospect of a DVD... :) And I agree with the Bitter Suites... comparison.

Kerrang scares me with it's choice of Best British Band nominees.... :S Stereophonics and Cradle in the same category?! Confuse me.....

Those song titles sound worryingly like something that would have appeared on Nymphetamine....PLEASE, CRADLE!!! DON'T FUCK IT UP!!!!

I don't agree. Placebo still has some decency in comparison to HIM. I'm no huge fan of both but comparing those two is not one IMO.

PLEASE, CRADLE!!! DON'T FUCK IT UP!!!!


I'm just scared now that James...Guitarist of the fucking century...is out of the band. I trust Dani though...He won't do us wrong. ;)

I'm just scared now that James...Guitarist of the fucking century...is out of the band. I trust Dani though...He won't do us wrong. ;)

I trust Dani's lyrics will be as genius as ever...maybe this line up change will herald a change in their sound again...should be intersting.

that DVD cover is rather intriguing. i love it.

i'm powerfully addicted to Devil Woman right at the moment. it's really quite good.

So I finally got interested enough in all this hullabaloo over "Nymphetamine" and downloaded it, not knowing what to expect. I'm proud to say that I could tell I was going to like the song within the first 30 seconds (I was tortured with gradual bits and pieces b/c I have shortbus Internet connection still *isn't technologically savvy*).

This is the heaviest song I've ever liked. *begins descent into decadent morality* I think I mostly like it because of Liv's appearance, though; I can't really picture liking it without her vocals. I'm not sure how that bodes as far as the rest of their music. I'd like to hear more, but titles like "Gilded Cunt" tend to scare me, especially when I'm not a huge fan of that part of the anatomy anyway--much less when it's gilded.

I might just stick to this song; I'll probably try at least one more, though. "Her Ghost in the Fog" is the only one ahead of Nymphetamine in popularity on last.fm (http://www.last.fm/music/Cradle+of+Filth/+charts), so I'm thinking that's next. And apparently "Filthy Little Secret" is supposed to be good.

But I'M STAYING AWAY FROM GILDED CUNT.

I <3 the songs Babylon AD and Nymphetamine :D those are cool.

I just heard Nymphetamine off the Resident Evil album and I have seriously right this very second fallen in love with this band. Can anyone recommend any songs or albums in particular that I should track down. Lol and the guy singer does kinda sound like he's possessed...... Thats cool:cool:

Yeah. If you want to check out Cradle, get the Midian album. That's the one that made me a fan of them. If you decide that you do like them, get the Nymphetamine album, and if you want to hear a slightly more Black Metal-ish sound, get the Dusk.. And Her Embrace album. As for songs to check out, I suggest

Nymphetamine (overdose)- It's different than the version that's on the RE soundtrack. Way different.

Lord Abortion- This song is just cool lol.

Her Ghost in the Fog- This is probably their most popular song other than Nymphetamine.

A Gothic Romance (Red Roses For the Devil's Whore)- This is just an amaziing song, that has some of their best lyrics (in my opinion)

Okay I heard Nymphetamine Fix on the Kerrang Awards Nominee cd and I love it, it got me onto the band. But what's the difference between Nyphetamine and Nyphetamine Fix? Or is that just the full name or something?

Can anyone recommend any songs or albums in particular that I should track down.
i'm in agreement with Bleeding Trust, but i would also highly recommend these (songs):

Swansong for a Raven
From the Cradle to Enslave
Devil Woman
Hallowed Be Thy Name
But what's the difference between Nyphetamine and Nyphetamine Fix? Or is that just the full name or something?
there is no difference as far as i know, but i could very well be wrong. if you really want to know, then ask April. i'm not sure anyone else on this board knows more about Cradle then she does.

Hmm, I was just looking at the lyrics and there's no difference between (fix) and (deva-fix) just the (overdose) one. So yea,I've only been a fan for three days I've got a lot to learn!

Overdose has a longer intro and outro and the time of the song is 9:14
Fix doesn't have the long intro and oitro and is only 5:12
No clue about Deva-Fix though.

Okay lol. Deva-Fix is exactly the same as Fix, but instead of Liv Kristine doing the female vocals, the part is sung (rather horribly) by Sarah Jezebel Deva. She is a female vocalist who has been on every single Cradle of Filth album since Vempire. She normally does all of the female vocals for Cradle of Filth. The Deva Fix version of Nymphetamine is horrible though.

Cool as guys thanx for all your help I'll make sure I track those songs down:D

Oh cool thanks for that. I get it now. Gotta find all the albums now! Gonna take ages to save for em all

This is the heaviest song I've ever liked. *begins descent into decadent morality* I think I mostly like it because of Liv's appearance, though; I can't really picture liking it without her vocals. I'm not sure how that bodes as far as the rest of their music. I'd like to hear more, but titles like "Gilded Cunt" tend to scare me, especially when I'm not a huge fan of that part of the anatomy anyway--much less when it's gilded.


But I'M STAYING AWAY FROM GILDED CUNT.


If you like the not-so-heavy songs, you should check out Absinthe with Faust. It's off the same album, so you kind of know what to expect no intense black metal high vocals like you probably hate.

Check it out for sure.
Oh, and LMAO at the cunt comment hahaha.
I bet you'd listen if it was "Gilded Penis"
;)


Ps: Little Goth...I love the Nightwish quote in your sig. The Riddler is one of my favorite of their songs.

Aye. What I like about CoF is pretty much everything but the vocals.

But Apryl suggested I listen to Absinthe With Faust, and it's great! Everything I already like about CoF, and what I don't like isn't so prevalent.

Good stuff. ;)

I've been listening to "Nymphetamine" the whole day and I love it,it's addictive!
I'm really impressed by the lyrics(I always pay a lot of attention to the lyrics ;) ) and I think Liv Kristin's voice fits perfectly into the song!

I'll definitely check out their other stuff! :)

You should definitely check out their other stuff:) I just got the Nymphetamine album because the HMV near me didn't have it for a while and I finally found it =D it's awsome.But lately I have been really addicted to "Hallowed be thy name" the iron maiden cover...If you haven't heard it, you should listen to it! And my shirt I ordered with the Nymphetamine logo on it should be here soon:) yay!

::LATEST NEWS::

The latest news from the Cradle of Filth camp is that regrettably, long-term keyboardist Martin Foul (Powell) has sadly parted ways with the band, releasing the following press statement detailing the reasons for his decision:

"Due to pressing personal reasons I have found myself unable to commit my best efforts and time to Cradle of Filth. Despite 5 great years, I which I have acheived along with my colleagues (past and present) a myriad of goals and dreams I have decided to bow out from Cradle. Having played and written music with three greats of english metal (C.O.F., My Dying Bride and Anathema) I am certainly not giving up music in any respect but just need time away from the rigors of being part of a such a time consuming entity as C.O.F. is. I shall endeavour to pursue and perhaps release my own music whenever I am blessed with the time and inclination to do so. I should like to thank Cradle fans and friends the world over for making my time with COF incredibly enjoyable and memorable. I look forward to people hearing from me in the not-to-distant future."

The feeling in the Cradle camp of course is one of profound loss, though a resounding and heartfelt 'all the best for the future' accompanies this recent and unexpected personal turn of events. Obviously this leaves an opening for a replacement Cradle keyboardist, so if there is anyone out there who bares an iota of interest in joining the ranks of the 'Filth, then please feel free to send musical material and accompanying photographic/background information to the management email address as printed on the inside of the recent "Nymphetamine" release. Anybody of any colour, creed or stature is welcome though Phantom Of The Opera-esque mannerisms and creepy facial mask will definitely count in your favour. Note: This will not effect the recently announced UK tour dates in December!

On the positive side however, is the very welcome news that former bassist Dave 'Herr Pubis' Pybus has now taken on the somewhat daunting task of webmaster for the C.O.F official website, a challenge that sits perfectly alongside Dave's current pre-occupation with the recently formed 'Sixsixsix Records' label. So, from everybody involved with the band, a warm and very grateful welcome back.

In a similar vein Dave is also accompanying the band to undertake the forthcoming 'Viva La Bam' MTV 2 television performance in the U.S sometime in June, when the band will feature in a full length episode culminating in a live performance of 'Nemesis' atop a multi-story parking lot somewhere in Philadelphia. This however does not exclude new bass-player Charles Hedger, who has been helping write toward the new album in the recent rehearsal room sessions at Springvale. So far tentative titles for the new material are as follows; 'The Flora Of Nightfall, The Fauna Of War', 'Devil To The Metal' and 'Cemetery And Sundown'. The band are expecting to be back in the studio in the Autumn with a wistful release date of February 2006, though as mentioned elsewhere, the 'Gospel Of Filth' printed foray in to the darkside will be out in shops around Halloween as too will the forthcoming band DVD, recently shot over two nights in Paris and as yet untitled.

Thanks for the info perfect ghost & Codger! :)

Does anybody know where I can listen to songs on "Nymphetamine" in full-length? (I don't wanna download them.....yet lol)

@The Void: That's an awesome shirt! :D

No problem...go to www.radioblogclub.com and you can listen to any song without downloading it...so you can probably find most of the songs there.

And,TheVoid, I have that same shirt but it's a sweater;)

Also, you can view the video on launch.com (if it's working in your area) as well as on the CoF website.

I tried to watch it on launch and it's not available in my area...grr...I never thought of the cof website I will try there:)

. The Deva Fix version of Nymphetamine is horrible though.


This kid = fucked.
The Deva version does not suck! It's not as good, but it's the only song you hear Sarah sing full-length on! I love her!

Definately check it out if you haven't heard it. It's not horrible at all.

Whoa. Sorry for offending you lol. I just meant that. personally I don't like that version as much. I wasn't saying anything against Sarah at all. I think she's awesome too. I'll keep my negative opinions to myself from now on lol.

I don't think it is horrible either. I like it a lot. I love her voice.

I was just sorting through my CD's, and while I was rifling through them all, I thought I'd stick on my old CoF albums...and i'd forgotten how good they were. :) I'm converted all over again. The anger of Principles..., the beauty of Cruelty... the utter epicness and stunning lyrics of Damnation... and the fact that, in my opinion, From The Cradle To Enslave is one of the best songs EVER!!!! WOOO!!!!! I've come over all metal all of a sudden.... :)

Do you have the Bitter Suites to Succubi album? I love that one:)

To be honest, the only CoF song I've heard that I like is Nymphetamine. But I like it a lot, lol, Dani and Liv's voices fit together really well, and the very dramatic composition is amazing. What other songs would you guys suggest I get my teeth stuck into? :p

ahh there are so many great one's! Some of my favourites are -Suicide and other comforts,no time to cry,sleepless,her ghost in the fog, dusk and her embrace,the smoke of her burning,thank god for the suffering,A gothic romance(red roses for the devil's whore)....The list could go on...I love all their songs haha.

aSuicide and other comforts

I love the intro to that song and Dani's talking..but the screaming there is horrible. He sounds like a woman.

I gotta say, I'm not a big fan of Bitter Suites.... or Vempire. They're probably my two least favourite CoF CD's. Favourite is either Cruelty... or Damnation.... :) CLASSIC. :)

Nymphetamine still annoys me to my very soul, although it is growing on me.....

I love the intro to that song and Dani's talking..but the screaming there is horrible. He sounds like a woman.


There is nobody on this earth who can sing like Dani. He has so mna different voices. There seriously is nobody who can even come close to comparing.

Sorry, I had cast away this thread for a while.

I have sorrowful news. EVANESCENCE HAS BEEN USURPED. For the first time ever:

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y14/Ihateretail/nooo.jpg

I can't believe I've listened to those songs that many times--I just joined lastfm a month ago. INTO THE HUNDREDS. *is insane*

If you like the not-so-heavy songs, you should check out Absinthe with Faust. It's off the same album, so you kind of know what to expect no intense black metal high vocals like you probably hate.

*makes note* You say it's off the same album, so I know what to expect: Are you implying that most/all of the songs on that CD aren't real heavy? Because I'm delicate.

Oh, and LMAO at the cunt comment hahaha.
I bet you'd listen if it was "Gilded Penis"

lol. Perhaps. Oh, who am I kidding... YES I WOULD.

And thanks for your rep earlier. I like April reps especially b/c they're strong. :heart:

He has so mna different voices.

I agree on that. I might not like his "screaming" but he does take care of variety.

Ghetto...Nymphetamine is definately not their heaviest at all. It's still fucking incredible though. The riffs are amazing. Totally check out that song. (Buy. the. album)

Yeah, songs like Swansong For A Raven and Nemesis, make the album worth buying.

That fact that it's Cradle makes the album worth buying ;)

haha, thats right :D

although .. i must say that i was a bit shocked when i saw a pic of them for the first time... but stop! dont hit me *haha* well, but i was really impressed when ive read some of their lyrics. and i am still impressed :) my fav song is nymphetamine. i cant stop listening to this song.

nadine

I've always said that.
No matter how much you dislike metal, there's no way you can deny the talent in Cradle's lyrics.

Exactly. They're just awesome, so well-written. So very few artists can do that these days, you gotta respect them!!

Yeah,I agree.I've just listened to the Deva Version and I think it's good aswell.Interesting to hear the song with a higher and lower voice.

Btw,thanks to perfect ghost and April for the sites :)

I find myself being addicted to Suicide & Other Comforts; and Nymphetamine.


Now, I'm not asking what their softer albums are, but I am indeed asking which albums do not contain Dani's ....female-ish screaming.

They all have a lot of it...but if you don't like that so much stay away from an of their first albums. Dusk and Her Embrace mainly.

Get Midian, Damnation and Nymphetamine. They have the least of that.

Haha screaming is fine, but I don't like is ubergirly screaming ;)

when i first heard nymphetamine i thought liv did those screams, until i saw the video that is ;) it's actually one of the things i like about the song; personally i don't think it's a bad thing that dani has vocals like that on their songs :p

I personally love Dani;s screams, whether they can be described as girly or not. Im not sure why. I do though, he's vocals on Dusk and her Embrace are fantastic if you ask me.

I love his voice,period.I don't think anyone's voice can be compared to Dani's;)

So...so...true. There will never be another vocalist like Dani. He is by far, the best and most unique vocalist I have ever heard, and nobody will ever compare to him.

You know on the song 'Cruelty Bought thee Orchids' ? Is that scream at the beginning Dani ?

Has anyone got a video of Nymphetamine live?

(Can't wait for the DVD :D )

Does anybody have Left Handed and Candid?
Mike (Bleeding Trust) got it for me for my birthday....It's wicked haha.

I was kinda annoyed with the other DVD, considering it was just a DVD rehash of Livebait For The Dead - way to squeeze every possible penny there, CoF! LOL

Which other DVD ? I don't have any of the Dvd's. they any good ?

There are two other DVD's (to my knowledge - don't think there are any more), there's PanDaemonAeon, which was a weird thing that had a couple of versions of the vid for From The Cradle To Enslave, CoF's first video, some live preformances and some other gubbins. The other DVD is called Heavy, Left Handed and Candid, which has a full live set of the band (the same one that's on the CD of Livebait For The Dead, which is why I'm so bitter), a couple of promo vids, and some other backstage fun. :)

Now, I'm not asking what their softer albums are, but I am indeed asking which albums do not contain Dani's ....female-ish screaming.


Their very first album "The Principle Of Evil Made Flesh" has a lot less of it, and his vocals sound different on this relase, and Darren White from Anathema does guest vocals on one song which is cool. The next release "Vempire" is where it starts with that screaming and there is a lot of it on there where it does tend to get annoying, but it is probably their best release. The first three albums of theirs are my favorites of theirs. I havent been able to get much into anything after "Cruelty.."

Has anyone checked out their new DVD "Peace Through Superior Firepower" yet? It got released on November 21st.

I ordered it.


Do you have their old one yet?
If not, come over and check it out with me sometime. <33

Also, to anyone who didn't know... Dani and Toni were married on Halloween this year after 14 years.
