The vampiric theatrics, the gothic atmosphere, the pulse pounding addiction in the music. The blood, violence, sex, erotics and the murderous count bathory. Amazing riffs, hooks, vocals and lyrics. This album has everything. I love it.
When i was young, 11 years, i begin to listen music. Before never coz i dont find something i love. I try with rap / rnb of my friends and say "damn it's so baaaad". I have try techno things and other and no, not that. One day, one of my "new" friend, forget one CD at my home, Cruelty. The first song of metal i heared in my life was this one. And when that begin...shivers and fucking headbang. And "oh fuck it's so great!" I have 22 and always listen metal, thank Davy for forget this fucking CD!
@Litshttam - If they just keep doing things like Cruelty and the Beast and Midian (don't get me wrong, I absolutely love those albums), then they won't be nearly as original or varied.
@Litshttam - I agree. This album, Midian, Nymphetamine, and some of Thornography are the only ones I listen to. Not liking their new album =\ hopefully it grows on me though
@bucchis - I'm not a fan of Dusk and Her Embrace. It just seems like all of the lyrics in its songs are done with those high pitched screams that are too hard to understand. Cruelty and the Beast and Midian have a nice blend of the screams and beautiful instruments.
@Critic863 I see. I guess my judgment is overwhelmed when Funeral in Carpathia comes out! that song is just apocalyptic. the same can be told about many of "Cruelty"!
@bucchis - I like Funeral in Carpathia, but that's probably the only one I would listen to more than once on that album. Mainly because I like the intro and ending. I love those instrumental songs, especially when piano comes into play. Cruelty Brought Thee Orchids is my favorite fast-paced song of theirs. Bathory Aria is my favorite instrumental song of theirs :D
The evolution in sound, attach guitars. Robin's excellent work on bass along with an overwhelming Vocal Technique of Danny, makes this album a masterpiece from the cover.
lol this song brings back memories. I am almost embarrassed to admit it, at one point this was the "hardest" music I'd heard yet and I fucking loved it. Opened doors to better music I might not have known about otherwise: Emperor, Drudkh, Arcturus, Averse Sefira, Mayhem, etc...
@pingpongpung i saw them live the 1st time i forgot when, the 2nd time at download but the 3rd time wasn't their best show and i stopped listening to them afterwards
@Twiggymaster666 Everyone stops listening to Cradle at some point. I liked these guys when I was 15, I turned 16 and still liked them but they just kinda faded away from me after that. I'm at 17 years old now.
I also didn't like the kids that listen to the dark-oriented shit like this. Not that myself was ever one of those fucking freaky-looking kids that had 8 piercings on their face and black baggy pants with four chains on them.
@jamminglikeapearl this isnt black metal. mind you, theyre close to it, but its not the same as black metal. then again, its arguable as to which genre CoF falls under, since people have associated them with so many, such as black metal, gothic metal, extreme metal, etc... personally, and im gjing with what the band said about themselves, i think theyre pretty much in a genre all their own.
@xLord666Abortionx They all those genres man, but they are apart of the Black Metal community, its like the debate wioth Venom, but I think they are more apart of thrash, they just influenced black more, but yeh COF is got alot more black in them than anything else, but I like ur opinion too.
@drmegariot F.Y.I. I was just kidding. Cradle of Filth is a good band. but not the greatest. I guess your reality sucks dick too because we have the same reality lol. and dont say that we dont... i already know that each human has a different perspective or should I say reality of the fucking world they live in... but the same shit can still happen to us all... the same exact way. you cannot just take reality and make it into something... reality takes and makes something out of you.
hm...was just looking this up since I was kinda interested in CoF earlier. and what can I say, maybe it's because nowadays they are doing more popular stuff, but how can people call this emo? or whatever..they were really unique sounding, Dani Filth doctorated in literature and history, every album was some kind of a novel, this one's about Elizabeth Bathory for an example. well, people are really good @ showing their stupidity.
Come on dude, was it really necessary to call me a stupid maggot?.. think twice before insulting innocent people. There is a first time for everything. U've taken my utube's virginity in what concerns to insults!..
If I could only reach u... hey, this a lyric also!.. Cool... ah Queen. Another emotional person, very touched by other people's comments. I aknowledge ur sensibility man. I really do. But take things a little bit more lightly. Or is that to difficult?...
@zachatyahoo Man, just kidding. Cradle isnt EMO. But if There would be an EMO scale, where all bands were avaliated, Slipknot would stand well below Cradle of Filth..
Cradle of filth gets me horny. I love Dani Filth and all his music. Cant wait for there new album. But this has to be my favorite song by them. Its beautiful
This album is so good, black metal meets hammer horror with a nice NWOBHM edge... what happened to Cradle? They seem to be diet extreme metal for the mall goth crowd these days, it's a shame, the first half dozen or so releases are excellent
@CarnivorousExcrement Dunno man, I've stopped checking their new ones out, but where "ghost in the fog" toed the line, for me "Nymphetamine" overstepped it. Akercocke sort of picked up where cradle left off imo, the whole hammer horror/satanism thing with a british metal influence. CoF are still good live though
Why is it that ever since all these gay "emo" bands posing to be "hardcore" through screams and growls that people now perceive REAL music to be emo? COF was indeed black metal at one point in their career. They're extreme metal/gothic but definitely not emo ffs dipshits.
Such a great fucking song. Emo? Please, this album was released in 1998. Way before the Emo scene was along, or the term was even used. This guy needs to get his head out of his ass. But back to how great this song is, it's a fucking opera. Great album at that.
@Brolly696 you need more thumbs up for that...;) every song will have a comment from at least one cock smoking faggot.. I don't even bother with them anymore, if they enjoy wasting their lives listening to music they don't like or understand then leaving stupid comments to show just how sad their lives are I'd say it's fairly well mapped out who the dumb fucks are...
there emo -.- HAHA XD nah just kidding but dude how the fuck can someone enteprit this music as being emo??? theres nothing emo bout this.... this is some awsome black metal or whatever you wanna call it :D
@Mapardos I disagree. I think they are still good but I think they were unbelievably great up to Midian and Bitter suites. You can't seriously say Midian (2000) is crap. I think Midian is absolutely genius. Listen to Saffrons curse...
in no way are cradle emo, dani said in an interview he hates emo, he was talking about the music scene these days in britain and sain "its all fucking emo shit, its fucking horrible absolutely fuckin rubbish" check it out
I was just saying to a friend the other day that the reason I love this album the most is how the transitions work through the whole album. Reminds me of movements in a symphony
all lot of people say they are emo!! people these days are so ignorant...also people call them Black Metal and others call them Gothic Metal...i personely concider them Black Metal.
can it be SpeedCore ?? .. actually i cant identify it with other kinds of metal .. thats the reason Cradle is different and awesome .. one of my favourite bands ..they just took metal to the next lvl ..
'Extreme Metal' is a blanket term that includes Black, Death, Gothic, Grind, and some Thrash and Doom. It can't be applied specifically to individual bands. CoF is Gothic/Symphonic.
That is simply incorrect. Black Metal is Sargeist, Behexen, Burzum, Vlad Tepes, Marduk, etc.
None of those bands sound like CoF. Most Black Metal fans hate CoF. Personally, I think they're decent, and the first two albums are legendary, but they're the only ones that are even vaguely remniscient of Black Metal. Everything else is clearly Gothic/Symphonic.
dude this is black metal..symphonic black metal that's all.. gothic metal is another thing for example nymphetamine is gothic metal... marduk, burzum dark funeral is pure black metal. my brother used to listen to that 11 years ago n i used to read his metal magazines, nowadays they've invented so many genres it's just fuckin ridiculous...emo, extreme, speed, maths metal haha back in 1998 this was classified as symphonic black metal together with dimmu borgir... COF became gothic metal afterwards
This is THE best COF will ever get,the atmosphere is excellent and the musicianship in general is superb.the new material is boring and lazy compared to this.
Not sure as hell isn't Emo but it isn't Black Metal either and it's not bad even though Dani Filth is quite an asshat and he did not get better after the movie Cradle of Fear which was awesome... As a comedy for Metalheads that is, The music is quite good as long as I don't have to see any pics of Dani which pretty much ruins the music for me.
The next person that calls Cradle emo will be blocked. They're not emo, they never will be, so quit with your childish ways and fuck off please, you know nothing about music.
sorry to say that this isn't black metal but more along the lines of gothic or extreme metal. black metal bands are bands like enshadowed, mayhem, emperor and dark funeral, genres aside though cradle is epic :)
who fucking cares if they are or are not black metal? are your lives so devoid of anything interesting that all you have to do is go to youtube to argue over something so fucking meaningless?
Who thinks that this is their best album ever- thumbs up!!!

Yeah, but nothing after Dusk could ever be called Black Metal.

very true. cruelty wasnt black metal. dusk was though. if u look into it you'll see distinct traits of it. more than anything else but gothic metal

This is THE best COF will ever get,the atmosphere is excellent and the musicianship in general is superb.the new material is boring and lazy compared to this.

Not sure as hell isn't Emo but it isn't Black Metal either and it's not bad even though Dani Filth is quite an asshat and he did not get better after the movie Cradle of Fear which was awesome... As a comedy for Metalheads that is, The music is quite good as long as I don't have to see any pics of Dani which pretty much ruins the music for me.

The next person that calls Cradle emo will be blocked. They're not emo, they never will be, so quit with your childish ways and fuck off please, you know nothing about music.

@Cuppycake04 I agree, what does emo have to do with this?? It's goth, black metal with a sprinkle of speed thrash.

This album is about Elizabeth Bathory, quite the opposite of emo. She cut others not herself.

This song is beyond amazing, it has such energy and progression. It complements the theme perfectly, this is art.

sorry to say that this isn't black metal but more along the lines of gothic or extreme metal. black metal bands are bands like enshadowed, mayhem, emperor and dark funeral, genres aside though cradle is epic :)

who fucking cares if they are or are not black metal? are your lives so devoid of anything interesting that all you have to do is go to youtube to argue over something so fucking meaningless?

Cradle of Filth isn't black metal (atleast not anymore). They're extreme gothic metal.
