Cradle of Filth - To Eve the Art of Witchcraft Live 1998

[VisionXray23]

Cradle really murderd back in the day!

[SeanIzDaSexxx]

Gotta love Dani's vocals when he says "To Eve I Cum". At 3:12 . He usually says it in his clean vocals, but he does his gutturals for it and it's so fucking deep, sounds so much better when he does it like that.

[6669990]

everybody stop bitching and be glad someone has a video of them doing this song so late in their career/ probably the last time they played it ever, too!

[VisionXray23]

Dani Filth is like a cross between a vampire and Shakespeer. He is such a monster with poetry and vocals!

[ThiAbducted]

Old cradle with the old line up will always be the best!

[JudderMan25]

Darkly is their best since Midian IMO. Dusk is my favourite, though.

[JordanandCompany]

Godspeed and DDVA are their worst album.. they sound similar, and just... are boring. Principle - Damnation. i could listen to the entire album in one sitting, DDVA, Godspeed... no, i can maybe like 5 or so songs, and then get bored of it. Fucking concept albums, all the songs sound so similar. Even Thorno and Nymph were better than those 2 garbage albums.

[metldrummer2112]

@JordanandCompany

Except Cruelty, which was a concept album. They could just make it work back then. Other than that, and your giving Thornography ANY redemption, I agree with you though.

[synardlord]

lecter rules

[TheRahcir]

"Alive Satanic"

[gothicdreamss]

mine too but for me midian and Bitter Suites to Succubi are more than good

[MrShortCropped]

killer

[Left4Fail]

I hope they record a remake of Vempire !

Or just the same style with same scream ... But it will probably never be the same !

[Raverouso]

damnit I was just about to go to sleep, now I have to listen to the whole principle album. :)

[dillonbgray]

they went hard on this one

[brklynslipknot2]

00:00 - 00:10

i wish i could scream / talk w/e like tht lol

[aaammmsterdddam]

i wish that to........but i cant=(

[MedlarGW]

There's an Australian guy that can, he's got a youtube channel.

He did a vocal cover of Coffin Fodder

[brklynslipknot2]

whats his channel?

[doctornen]

Lecter ha sido el mejor tecladista que ha tenido Cradle of Filth!

[ginny7676]

I liked Thornography...but I'm a punk rock guitarist so I go for the shit with progressive thick chords and words I can make out. His screams are much much better on stuff like Nymphetamine and I like that he SANG on New Day Kicking. This era has its crowd, just isn't me but I respect it.

[Nabburus]

hypnoticdirgerecords you can't put nymphetamine and godspeed together.... nymph was the worst album of all time.... Godspeed is fucking great.

[Filthonic]

not just nymphetamine...for me the worst album was thornography... if i have to choose between those album i choose Nymphetamine better....  but honestly i prefer the old cradle sound and the old cradle band!

[MrPie455]

Man, I love that riff around 3:07

[ilovemrbungle]

what a fuckin live performance!! absolutely top notch. oh and btw....dusk and her embrace is EASILY their best work!!! no doubt about it....anyone who says midian shud get cock slapped.

[trevordirt]

cruelty & the beast & midian... were the best & epic

[Reaper4637]

personally my least favorite album would have to be Midian

[Devil2Metal]

are you all retarded? who ever says everything before 99 are idiots for ignoring so much great progress in writing. anyone who says thornography was the worst album needs to open their ears. none of you are real fans if you restrict yourself from some, if not most, of their work.

[RRik07]

why all the hate on thorno in here? i love that album, obviously not as epic as principle, dusk, cruelty or midian but shit its still pretty good... wost cof albums imo are damnation and godspeed, which both have some killer tracks on them anyway....

[Devil2Metal]

there are no 'worst albums' you twit. especially not Damnation and Godspeed

[MIR4COF]

i agree wit u . i always respect everything their made even thornography. All of their albums is amazing for me. Luv CoF \m/

[ginny7676]

i thought Thornography and some of the new shit...it's so much more melodic and it helps to understand his words...more righteous screams as well.

[hypnoticdirgerecords]

Principles - 9/10 Vempre - 10/10 Dusk - 10/10 Cruelty - 10/10 Enslave EP - 6/10 Midian - 8.5/10 BSTS - 7/10 Damnation - 8.5/10 Nymphetamine - 8/10 Thorography - 5/10 Godspeed - 8/10

[bathorycomplex]

@hypnoticdirgerecords Damnation should be a 10/10. And so should Midian. I have no idea why Damnation In A Day is so underrated. It is one of the BEST! A Promise Of Fever is amazing!!!

[dmh091]

@hypnoticdirgerecords

To me Damnation is the best thing CoF ever put out.

[doolb666]

@dmh091 i agree, thats one hell of an epic album

[JordanandCompany]

lmao

what does dani say at 4:25

something about killing the sound people

i think

because of the sound he is getting from the mic

[Aeoen]

yeah "I'll kill the sound man after this set" haha.

[fablerealm]

im my opinion ever since damnation and on the cds suck i only like two songs of that cd and my all time fave i think its a tie with vempire and cruelty

[Conkermon]

Principle was good

Vempire was great (some really strong tracks)

Dusk was fucking brilliant

Cruelty was orgasmic (#1 album)

Midian was orgasmic (#2 album)

Suites doesn't really count.

Damnation was good (some strong tracks such as Hurt and Virtue but too many average)

Nymphetamine was average

Thornography was below par

Godspeed was average (too many similar tracks, not enough depth, not enough character_

[FeyFury]

bitter suites to succubi get exclusive track and original heavy good sound at all

at least this album : 7/10

[CKEmaLocsCK]

i agree

[hypnoticdirgerecords]

...

[lamentate07]

agree. Principle was AWESOME in 1994/95, but it hasn't aged too well. still good though.

i disagree about 'Midian' though. it wa sa huge step down from 'Cruelty' IMO'.

COF haven't been the same for 10 years.

[RobbySinful]

ok to everyone who is bitching about cradle's timeline of albums and how good they were here is the answer. Principle-Good Vempire-Awesome Dusk-Fantastic Cruelty-Amazing Midian-Good Suites-Good Damnation-Pretty Good Nymphetamine-So-So Thornography-Not so great Godspeed-Excellent this is my opinion tho

[Zecifer]

I completely agree.

[lunchboxwhmpa]

Id have to agree on your rankings of the albums. All though I would say Principle was awesome, but not better then Vempire. And Dusk was absolutely fantastic.

[DaniBlazin]

I'm pretty much in total agreeance as well, if "agreeance" is a word, lol. Even though Thornography isn't that great, when they played "Under Huntress Moon" when I saw them a month ago it sounded fuckin awesome! CoF Forever!

[whoismynymphetamine]

yeah dude i agree oh and guess what , its CourtingBaphomet from the ps3

[puto666marado]

@RobbySinful i agree

[Blackcandlez]

@RobbySinful 1yr comment...but wadeva...i have to agree with this

[TechDMFiend]

@RobbySinful why does everyone hate thornography its fuckin great and my favorite album, good riffs, and the song with ville valo from Him in it ''The Byronic Man'' fuckin brilliant, listen to the whole thing not one song

[RobbySinful]

I don't hate Thornography it just isn't as strong sounding as the first albums were.

Yes Thornography has good tracks on it like Dirge Inferno, Cemetery and Sundown, Lovesick for Mina, I Am The Thorn, and Under Huntress Moon those are my favs from Thornography. Personally I think it could have been better but i like all cradle's material.

[cabalofdemons]

@RobbySinful Agreed. Thornography is the one "weak" album of the group. Godspeed and Darkly Darkly are strong returns to form. For me Dusk and Cruelty are the band's best works, with Midian and Nyphetamine as close seconds. Damnation is great as well, but a little too overdone.

[blade5654]

@RobbySinful darkly darkly is alright too

[beneaththehowling]

@RobbySinful totally agree with you

[tDeathwingr]

@RobbySinful Okay, so check this; 94-10-Fucking GODlike.

[crazydrummerpat]

@RobbySinful Agree also!

[lizafreak]

Agreed.

The keyboard is amazing on the album.

ALSO on Dusk and Her Embrace.

But that album wasn't as extreme as P.O.E.

[gilleken1991]

i am a gentle strength,

that trickles through the summer glaze <3

DESIRE, FUCKING LOVE THIS SONG!

[poodalla]

all of their shit is great new and old.. what do u expect when a band has been around as long as they have.. u have to change with times..

[mihawk1]

sux that they dont really play any of thier old songs much these days.....it all went down shit hill with midian.

[paulstour]

when i saw them the other week they played more old stuff than new i.e twisted nails of faith they only playd 4 new songs. was an awsome night igot to meet them aswell!!!

[jas03000]

how'd dani sound? he doesnt sound like this anymore. good show?

[MerekSadow61]

More like nymphetmine. Midian was good. Bitter suites still good. Damnation and a day was....was....well it couldve been better. Now Nymphetamine was they're musical down fall.

[CSIxxTwee]

One of the best songs they've ever recorded.

[Batnobbit]

Aah, good old CoF. The new is so shitty, the old is great.

[xfunereal]

lol dani tried to hide in the smoke during the clean vocals

[xfunereal]

his growls used to be so good.

now theyre shit.

=[

[whorebitchfuckerass]

Hell yeah I bow down before you. haha

[Rosmi696]

dani is fuuckkiing hot damn it!!!

[PsYchoMurder]

fucking awesome performence, I wish I was there..

[cofrules02]

Beautiful performances!!!!

[XioC652]

This is the roots of cof... all you can do is respect it. I always will love cof, but I praise their old work more so than most any bands right now.

[AODdigger]

It's cause he's old. Every young growler has a bucket of potential and high screams... Then after 33 it's just.. Meh =/ I love Dani and I'll always remember his good performances, not that he doesn't have bad ones, but he IS a legend in screams and high growls, so he has everyone's respect. Long Live Dani. \m/

[louisplague]

a good voice never fades..and dani's hasn't .

[BlessTheUndyingWorm]

Not true man, listen to the album Principles of Evil Made Flesh. His vocals are some of the best black metal vocals ever. Way better than anything they've done lately.

[MerekSadow61]

Oh yes it has

[LongLiveCradle]

Damn..his voice was so high back than!

[danielbarnes2007]

I absolutely adored Les on the keyboards of cradle back then...

The sounds and his playing skills where just immense

[redaxxx]

Wow, didn't even know there was any recording of them playing this song live... I love it

[Skld]

Her ghost In The Fog @ Download Festival. There you can hear also some clean vocals. And Sarah is in this song: she sings a line or two but not in this video.

[Zecifer]

You can only hear Sarah live in this song as the original back vocals were by Andrea Meyer.

[thunderstrike45]

man he souns cool singing but also wicked sceraming

[vampireangie]

Dani I lvoe him

[crueltyalper]

lan bunun bunun gibi adam gelsin şu memlekete cümle alem ziksin beni..ama yok işte imkanı yok

[oddworth]

at around 4:37, is that dani singing?

[Zecifer]

Yes, it's his clean voice.

[oddworth]

haha wow, awsome.

[BlackKuja]

Sounds cool^^

[UncleanXFilth]

no way .... cant be

[Zecifer]

Well it is, there are other concerts where he uses it too.

[xslayeroflambsx]

WHOA!!! Never heard that before!!! I'm suprised he can sing clean i'd imagine his throat would be pretty messed up from the howls and such :] very very nice

[heavenanddarkangels]

what they never play this song anymore this is awesome

[CKEmaLocsCK]

i fuken love this shit

[Rickyandersson]

when dani had his best voice

[restedante]

is that dani singing with his clean voice? kinda strange!

[Zecifer]

Yeah, I personally don't like it much, I much rather have them make it with no vocals if Sarah isn't around.

[DaemonPhive]

Yeah it is different. He does it on Thornography a couple of times.

[Mourning666]

The live version of this on Princess of Darkness bootleg has her singing in it. If anyone wants it just PM me. I cant put it up because I dont have the right media or whatever. Also the sound is a bit fucked up due to stuff falling on the ground in the background.

[uriangatobataclan]

He did look EVIL when he was that chuby, hmmm, a nice slice of Dani... HAhahahaha. Regeards from México.

[Cradleoffilth609]

To Anyone who owns this album. in the booklet near the back when it is a photo of the whole band and dani is crouching down on a postlike thing doesnt dani look like... abnormally short? =] oh golly hes my favourite person ever

[DimmuBorgir007]

well he is 5'5 lol

[Cradleoffilth609]

haha wow thats like 2 inches taller then me and when i met him he seemed a lot taller and he wasnt wearing boots =]

[DimmuBorgir007]

yeah well maybe is was wearing elevator shoes? or some sort of height giving shoes. I dont know lol But he is definitely is 5'5. He said it himself and I believe it cuz he is the shortest in his band lol

[Cradleoffilth609]

haha yummy dani =]

[DimmuBorgir007]

lol

[Thefilthyblood]

he his short lol..

[thefear33x]

[sigmar555]
