cradle of filth are a good metal band - they have there own sound unlike anything else, i would not call them black metal cuz there more black metal than anything else, there vocals dani filth has a amazing voice, he can do normal melodic singing but he prefers the screeches,
cradle of filth revolves around dani filth. No one really knows anything about the band besides dani. The teenage fan base (usually the feminine) see dani as a sex object. but really with none of the other band members there would be no cradle.
There best albums are "Midian", "bitter suites to succubi", "dusk and her embrace", and "damnation and a day" (in my general opinion)
there latest album "nymphetamine" is also very good. but its alot more melodic than any of there other albums, i enjoy listening to it, but the other fans slag it off.

Cradle of Filth fan: have u heard the knew song by CoF, its called gilded cunt.

Scary-BM-Pagan-Dude: poser! cradle suck! im gunna burn down churches cuz of u know!

*CoF fan sucks the Pagan of his blood*

An awsome British Black Metal band.
It is a very controversial subject on whether or not they are realy black metal or not. Some people are too concerned about what genre it's under, it sounds good just the same. Cradle of Filth is growing in popularity, but unforunatly there seems to be some ridiculous dispute between Cradle Of Filth fans and Marilyn Manson fans. I personaly like them both. People should just learn to respect the opinions of others.
Stupid Cof fan: "Marilyn Manson is gay!"
Stupid MM Fan: "Cradle of Filth is gay!"
Someone not retarded: "Stop arguing! They're BOTH fucking great."

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.
you want to succeed, work like Dani and Cradle of Filth

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!
