one of the greates bands of all time, and probably very underestimated.even through many changes in the band line they still prove to be one of the best.Why? Dani Filth. He is the adhesive that makes it work, probably one of the most dedicated musicians today. he struggled to make that band work and they do deserve notorioty in and out of thier genre.

Possibly the WORST band in existance.They are NOT black metal and are NOT underground.In fact,they are very very trendy.If you like Slipknot,Mudvayne,and ICP.Chances are you like Cradle of Filth.
If you honestly think theyre black metal listen to some Venom,Emperor,Mayhem,and

A good symphonic metal band that is neither death nor black metal. They are great, and these faggots are scared because of all the bands in the extreme metal genre, cradle of filth is the most popular. Although popular in thir own field, many people have no idea who they are and the only airtime ive ever seen them get was on Uranium(fuse). They are good and as close to black/death metal as you can get. Another people tend to turn away from them is their attitude. They make fun of themselves, referring to the collection "lovecraft and witchhearts" a compilation of "musical excriments". They, although look satanic are not. They dont go around sacrificing things in the name of Satan or things of that sort. But thats what people want who are into this kind of msic style. Cradle of filth have ctaegorized themselves as "black metal for bastards". Overall a great band, and has almost no commercial popularity, so dont worry-indulge in good, wholesome CoF!

A band who true "goths" or so they seem to think themselves hate because they are popular, and they are popular because people like them for the wrong reasons. They aren't really black metal, as they have become far too cartoony and are almost making fun of themselves, but as musicians they can play their instruments well, better than any punk band.

COF is the poor mans Carpathian Forest. COF aren't even Black Metal.
Carpathian is a great example of a great BM band!!

Concert guy: "sorry guys but the Mighty Mayhem isn't here to play, so instead we brought in COF"
black metal fans: "fuck COF they arent even black metal!" *shoots the concert guy*
black metal fans: "kill COF in the name of Mayhem and TRUE Black Metal!!!"
