Cradle of Filth in general

Cradle of filth is a english black metal band, although black metal fans argue that they are no longer a part of the genre. I first got into them with thornography. I loved what i heard and when i got the chance to purchase 5 albums for £8 at a carboot sale i jumped at the chance. When i heard these albums i realised what people meant when they said they are no longer black metal. The sound is a lot rawer and it is a lot more like what you would expect from a black metal band.

Recently I've been listening to their newer albums such as Nymphetamine ...  Read the complete review

Cradle Of Filth is a black metal band -they have released 7 albums since 1994. I first heard Cradle Of Filth on MTV2 and liked it but did not follow it up then I heard ‘Her Ghost in the Fog’ on a Rock Sound CD, it was at that point I decided to go and perchance the latest album at the time which was Midian, which was released in 2000 and loved it, even thought the reviews for midian said that the album was maybe not as good as the earlier albums. So far in their career the band has released the following albums: The Principle of Evil made Flesh Vempire or Dark Faerytales in Phallustein Dusk And Her Embrace Cruelty And The Beast ...  Read the complete review
