[MagnusBruce]

@NOXangel13

Aye \m/

Apparently they come from the same city as me. And there I was thinking that I was the only person even contemplating recording black metal for at least a 50 mile radius!

[MrAkuanep]

It's so cool..still remember I was moon bathing while listening to this opus back in 1999 surrounded by cold mountains..so rejuvenating. 

[TheWitchOvAgnesi]

One of my top ten favorite songs.

[Santiago666Cer]

 BRUTAL HECATE ENTHRONED HAILS

INFERNAL GRETINGS 666

[apsu84]

haha u r ridiciolous LeonJordison! the singer of HE was Keyboarder of CoF, so who gave the influence??? isten to the first album of Cradle!!!

[purefuckinghate666]

I don't understand why bands like this and Cradle are popular when others like Wind of the Black Mountains, Ragnarok, Kob, Oath of Cirion, and Hades get very little attention.

[AriasRequiem]

@purefuckinghate666 because they are more commercially appealing.

[Vortharr]

@purefuckinghate666 Same goes for every major band in every genre. Why did Cannibal Corpse become so famous, while there are a lot better death metal bands. Why is Korpiklaani the most famous folk metal band, while there are so much better bands. It's just luck, I guess.

[embersky998]

how about yall listen to old school BM? it seems here that the only thing that you have is COF AND HECATE. :) both bands are huge,unique , ect. hecate has been a huge part of my life for over ten years. i play black metal and respect true music. COF sold out when i was like 12 years old, and the fact that jons vocals are high doesnt mean he sounds like COF. look more into BM before you start saying bullshit like that. just because the dudes vocals are high doesnt mean hes trying to be like COF

[VivisectionMusic]

@embersky998 exactly, this lot need to think of Burzum, Mayhem, Immortal, Emperor, all that kind

and @LeonJordison, i do vocals, and i dont disrespect Dani or you, but its pretty turdy of you or anyone else to say stuff about othher bands on here, just listen to the fucking music, please.

[m1k3master3604]

LeonJordison- How many octaves can you reach, you fucking turd?

[seetherfeast777]

and shut the fuck up abot dani faggot filth

[seetherfeast777]

nice avril lavigne in the related vids

.....

[diamadtiel]

Amazing. Great song

[Vehemoth1]

Don't why people like to compare, but honestly, if you hit notes like that! Then that is just incredible! I would love to be able to hit those notes!

[JWickid3DarkChoco]

Actually people accused Hecate of being a COF cop off.

[kmfdm5]

@JWickid3DarkChoco yeah they did and i used to be one of those people that thought that. honestly its not just the vocals that cof play off of. it was hecate enthoned's entire style that cof played off of and ultimately bastardized in the end.

[TheWingchundragon]

This album is unique why bitch its music enjoy it

[guerrasantiago]

jajajaja disque "quiero que toquen esta canción en mi funeral" jajajaj excelente tormento

[SweAudioEditing]

does anybody know where I can buy their CDs?

I haven't seen them on any swedish record shop

[MrLSDegradable]

The intro simehow reminds me Dimmu :)

[SabbathFreak25]

such a fuckin beautiful song

[Armyswat1]

Para qué discutir, Hecate Enthroned en esos tiempos, con Jon Kennedy eran demasiado buenos, y tengo mis argumentos (estudio composición).

[asgarot69]

digan lo que digan a mi me gusta esta mierda yeeaaahhhhh!!!.... 

[sakalCT]

I want this song to be played on my own funeral.

[xxxdeadmunkxxx]

@sakalCT kickass choice i planned on mine well ... u can have it :)

[DeIMarrrrr]

Fucking...beautiful.

[alexandrasweetbabys]

Very EPIC intro ,this band kick ass ,4 people listen bieber fucking shit (puke)

[cronicasoscuras0]

se me hace parecido a cradle en varias cosas

pero bueno, las 2 bandas me gustan bastante

solo sus nuevos discos no me convenbcen pero igual

buena rola

[JoshieTripp]

Jon's( Dani's old bassist/Person who taught Dani his highs) Vocals Are only on the first 3 albulms =o

[pooperscoopr69]

Hecate...pronounced Heh-ca-tee.

[Doomistic]

vocals are fucking brilliant. ambiance is perfect.

[Nosphorus]

Anyone got the full lyrics to this? Most seem uncomplete at best.

[artvandelay0]

This is so fucking brutally ambient , it kills me. *****

[specialchoch90]

Stay Fucking Metal!!!!!!!!!

[LilithImmacualte]

I think Dani filth was influenced by Hecate, but i dont think he "Copied" them by any means... Dani filth has his own sound that cannot be copied...

[blackmetal66620]

hecates singers is clearly better than dani thums up if you agree

[JudderMan25]

Sorry to be a dumbass but how do you pronounce 'Hecate'? I've been saying 'heh kate'.

[blackmetal66620]

@JudderMan25 its pronounced hek ate

[TheRippingCorpse]

@JudderMan25 It depends where in the world you go. I've heard 'HE-KATE'. 'HEK-a-TEE' and 'HE-KARTY'.

[MagnusBruce]

@JudderMan25

I've always pronounced hecate as heh-cah-tay, pretty sure that's the pronunciation of the greek (?) god.

Although the band may prefer a different pronunciation - I don't know.

[DeIMarrrrr]

@MagnusBruce

I always thought she was Pagan...but I looked it up and you're right....learn somethin new everyday.

[MagnusBruce]

@DeIMarrrrr People seem to say that a lot around me XD

[LeonJordison]

Why the fuck is everyone bitching about Dani ripping off this guy?

He didn't rip off shit, everyone has influences first of all, and second of all I've never seen Dani say anything about his vocal influences in an interview, so shut the fuck up because he's never even had a chance to say what they were. As much as I like enthroned, Cradle/Dani Filth is better imo. IMO. Although Dani has a better vocal octave.. If you're a vocalist, you know what I mean. He has 5 ranges or so, this guy has 1 or2.

[TheRippingCorpse]

@LeonJordison Dani was more influenced by the Norwegain black metal explosion of the early 90's than anything else.

[witchinghour666]

@TheRippingCorpse lol no

[speedcoregewalt]

@LeonJordison i really really doubt he has 5 octave ranges. look for diamanda galas, and in comparison mariah carey. they both have a vocal range of 4 octaves and have a way higher range thendani

[LeonJordison]

@speedcoregewalt

No...

I was way off about this, I'll give you that, but Dani actually has a 6 or 7 octave range. This guy probably has 4 or 5. I had literally almost no idea about the ranges back then, now I'm actually pretty informed. Dani is my vocal influence, and I know alot about him. He has more than 5, that's for sure.

[LeonJordison]

@speedcoregewalt

I was wrong once again.. I'm fucking tired this time though lol

Dani has 5 or 6. Most likely 5.

[Noodles74958]

@LeonJordison dani filth`s range is ok im a vocalist but this guy has more of a range than dani if you listen 2 both singers live then you will understand me dont get me wrong i like cradle of filth but dani`s pitch and range has deteorated in the last couple of years

[LeonJordison]

@Noodles74958

Oh yeah, I'll definitely give you that, Dani's range and voice has become total shit right around Thornography lol. But Everything they did in the 90's... Whew. Shit was crazy.

[ScreamingKengaroo]

@LeonJordison Nooo this guy defineately has more than one or two, normal untrained singers have ONE or TWO. I think he should have at least 3 or 4? But I personally think Dani's better. But doesnt this guy shriek really high at all?

[LeonJordison]

@ScreamingKengaroo

I know, I fixed my mistake in another reply somewhere in here..

[ScreamingKengaroo]

@LeonJordison Haha cool cool. But Well, this guy's alright I guess, but I think the quality isnt good.

[LeonJordison]

@ScreamingKengaroo

Yeah I think he's good, but Dani's definitely better lol

[ScreamingKengaroo]

@LeonJordison Yeah Dani is!!! Hahaha. Freaking 5 octave range, how the fuck do you get that!?

I've only got like 4 :( But I can do dani's shrieks It's actually the same whistle voice thing mariah carey does, just you add a little rasp into it haha.

[LeonJordison]

@ScreamingKengaroo

Mhmm.

The whistle register.

There's alot of ways to mimic some of the lower high pitched screams he does too. Not the whistles.

[tDeathwingr]

@LeonJordison Right said.

[metalnerfal]

Tiene algo de parecido con Cradle of filth.

Pero estan buenos igual.

[vargyna]

Thumbs up if you are sick of seeing "thumbs up" on a comments page!

[indomable2]

....

[DeathcoreIsNotMetal]

Wow, very very good.

[freyarip]

For the old time sakes... Classical, brutal, metal!

[JSeed44]

Brutal, but at the same time...beautiful.

[baconnathan1]

let it out...

[ivanmontelongo]

One of the best songs in this album. Goetia is also a sick intro/instrumental they have here. Those keys are beast, very fucking nice.

[ska2808]

@ivanmontelongo Goetia, the name of Cradle's first (yet unreleased) album by the way =)

[ivanmontelongo]

@ska2808 Yeah I know...

[BlackAureole]

The vocals style is an evolution from the BBC Sessions and un-released stuff from Martin Walkyier in Sabbat, late 1980's. Sabbat being one of the biggest influences in CoF and UK extreme metal.

[luciconsort]

everyone uses this vocal style... it rules!

[TheDorkySquirrel]

i cant find this album any where :( there a link or something where i can download this for free??

[mariapepajuana]

en fin, hecate enthroned tiene trabajos mucho mas pulidos que cradle of filth. pero los dos grupos tienen sus cosas. saluds

[shaydth]

NO MANCHEN COMO Q CRADLE OF FILTH NEL HECATE ES DE LO MEJOR DEL BLACK MELODICO

[shaydth]

no manchen como pueden comparar a hecate enthroned con cradle of filth??? esta rola es una chingoneria

[HellVomit09]

i needed a hug ril bad today

[10jdcs]

que carajo hablan aca no hay quien es mejor o no, simplemente esta canción es muy buena de las mejores en el género black instrumentalmente es de puta madre

[incommandp]

Mesmerizing tune ! Hail Hecate !

[niertyUK]

A night of misanthropic darkness at the wrexham central station (origin of Hecate Enthroned) this july is NOT to be missed

Hecate Enthroned + Nierty / Merciless Savage/colonal blast

[decembertwilight1225]

i'm open to input.. i've been trying to learn how to do this for years

[decembertwilight1225]

I'm not sure but i think Jon's shriek is actually created in a way that is different from Dani's (although the resulting sound is very similar). Dani seems to close his throat and use what I think people refer to as the "false vocal cords" whereas i think Jon keeps his throat more open allowing for more air flow and a sort of reverberation in the upper and rear part of his mouth. his shriek sounds more raspy to me especially on the "upon promethean shores" album. 

[eumava1]

digan lo que digan esta banda es buena me gusta sobre todo como manejan esos teclados... cradle of filth es cradle of filth y hecate es hecate... dejen de joder

[donmuerto1]

@mariapepajuana cradle of filth death? jajajaja de veras eres un completo ignorante

[donmuerto1]

@mariapepajuana mira, yo sigo a cradle desde sus primros demos que eran death, ahi esta lo que pusiste, pendejo, mencionaste los primeros trabajos de cradle eran death, y a eso es a lo que me referia, ahora, que puedes tu saber de bases de death, si crees que cradle of filth en algun momento llego a ser death, aaay estos niños de hoy, pero bueno... da hueva discutir con incredulos pobres diablos.

[donmuerto1]

@mariapepajuana el ignorante hablador es tan divertido como siempre jajaja. 

[mariapepajuana]

@donmuerto1 ajá

[fuckamerica109]

this is so fucking epic i cant believe i found out about it on /b/

[Graystream23]

Why is everyone speaking Spanish? Just wondering.

[mooneclipse81]

@Graystream23

black metal and every underground metal gen for that matters do have huge following in south america mate.....cool name by the way!

[Graystream23]

@mooneclipse81 Oh, okay. Thanks! I like your name, too.

[Dimdez]

Jon did teach Dani Filth, it's in the leather bound version of The Gospel of Filth, under Dani's influences, he taught Dani in Secondary school how to do it, when he was around 18 to 20 years of age

[stonersid]

i played a gig with these guys back in 96, i was in the unimportant band that went on first, but it was cool, and they let us use their amps too......good stuff

[spectralmerc]

Is more likely that Hecate emulated Cradle, given how Cradle is 2 years older, and they released their first album 2 years earlier as well. However, i don't think it actually cares who's better. They only share the high pitched screams, and even then, there are buckets of bands who use them. Is more of a stylistic matter, and in that respect, is very hard to be objective: it rapidly devolves into a matter of taste. So, Hecate rules, Cradle rules, may the Underlords give both long lives. Period.

[mert1331]

@spectralmerc first off I dont like cradle of filth. I dont know, never got into them. but this person is right, COF came first then Hecate. The original vocalist of Hecate, when they were Daemonum, left and played with COF in like 94 or 95 then went back to Hecate. That was when the band changed the name to Hecate. His name was Jon and he played bass for COF. there is a more than good chance that someone out there did vocals like that before 91 when COF started though. metal existed before COF

[tape74]

ok... no habria que tener una vision tan cerrada de las cosas y menos en cuanto a musica.

[tape74]

no creo q sea una copia.. si como se dice que fue un desprendimiento de cradel of filth por medio del bajista.. me parece que los primeros discos fueron buenos a partir kings of chaos la banda decidio tomar otros caminos la cual para mi fue una equivocacion para mi gusto ... tenia mucha de cradle of filth pero no quita la calidad de sus priemeros discos

[nMAsee]

@tape74 Esta bien, esa es una buena opinión, algunos puede gustarle y a otros no, pero es completamente diferente a lo que hizo el otro pibe. Vino, tiro mierda y se fue sin dar por lo menos un argumento. Y como ya me canse de lo mismo en los videos de Hecate, directamente les digo que son ignorantes y bloqueo.

[WantonWraith]

they don't sounds like COF,

just the high-pitched scream...

they sound like Lamia Anitheus so much..

COF is the world's best band, no band will ever sound like COF!!

[yarlzxmyrsh]

@WantonWraith I heard that this vocalist is who taught Dani Filth what he knows. So technically they are based a lot off of Hecate Enthroned. Both are great in my opinion but I prefer Hecate Enthroned.

[666deathghost]

@WantonWraith Jon from Hecate Enthroned taught Dani how to scream the way he do and Dani had never given him Credit.

[motelbill]

Doth droppeth nothing beyond sanguinary remains and gory lust of a bestial carnal nature within throughout,,,

[yugoth555]

that cd its incredible, has a lot of brutal change of rithms, its still one of my black metal favourites,

[ToFfAz95]

The bad copy of cof, but this song and repent are fantastics

[USmarine5]

Similar to COF but they are more agressive.

[nemain99]

Love these

[ASurrealEntity]

He did join for a short while as a bassist, or so I've heard. And apparently was involved with the production of Dusk and Her Embrace.

[ska2808]

Dani Filth clearly owes a lot to them, yet he seems to be passing his vocal style off as his own!

[goreXXXwhore]

yeah i read that the singer from H.E. showed dani how to do that, but he does seem to pass it off as his own. not so much anymore because he cant do it as well but on cradles early albums like vempire danis voice was amazing!

[ska2808]

Supposedly Jon from H.E. was in Cradle at one time, when they were still doing death metal demos. I guess he taught Dani how to do the high scream, introduced him to black metal, and then Dani kicked him out (probably!) and passed it off as his own! Hah.

Dani's voice was actually ruined by him doing low growls improperly, which means that he lost his high range. A lot of people have come up with various other rumours though, but this theory seems the most valid.

[ASurrealEntity]

What I am unsure of is the period from which he helped Cradle during Dusk and Her Embrace, and when he left to reform his band, and rename it Hecate Enthroned.

[ASurrealEntity]

@ska2808 Do research.

Cradle was around first, but there's a history between them and Hecate, and it shouldn't be a case of "oh that's a rip-off."

Both bands have their strong suits.

I like them both.

[NicoFilthy]

@ska2808 Cradle Of Filth started in 1991 and Hecate Enthroned started in 1993. Dani Filth's vocal was like that way before Jon..

[ska2808]

@NicoFilthy Dani didn't start using that vocal style until Total Fucking Darkness in 93, though, and even then rarely. It's pretty widely acknowledged that Jon started doing it first.

[NicoFilthy]

@ska2808 Listen to Chewing Your Guts from 1992, and you will find the roots of this particular style of vocal use.

[kmfdm5]

@ska2808 not exactly seeing as cof came out first. hectate enthroned has only been around since 1993 cof since 1991. but yeah none the less dani is an egotist.

[ska2808]

@kmfdm5 That doesn't make any difference. Cradle were around before, but using a completely different vocal (and musical) style to what they would develop post-1993. I think it was one of the Ryan brothers who credited Jon from Hecate Enthroned with the vocal style.

[kmfdm5]

@ska2808 actually their vocals werent that different just under developed at the time. cof i mean. i think they were more refined at the release of dusk and her embrace

[ska2808]

@kmfdm5 You've obviously never listened to their demos, which were almost entirely (poor) death grunts. By the end of Total Fucking Darkness and the release of TPOEMF (1994), Dani had adopted these shrieking vocals. From Jon =)

[kmfdm5]

@ska2808 i know about that ep but ive never had the chance to listen to it figured id never find it...damn it.

[ska2808]

@kmfdm5 It's not an EP, it's a demo.  And that explains why you're so confused XD

Listen to all their demos up until 1993 - most of them are on YouTube (Orgiastic Pleasures Foul, A Pungent And Sexual Miasma and Total Fucking Darkness). Dani pretty much always used death grunts until he learned the technique for high screams from Jon, which he then began to use in Total Fucking Darkness and, more prominently, in their first album, TPOEMF.

[kmfdm5]

@ska2808 well damn you how am i supposed to find it god ive been trying to listen to that demo for several years now *shakes fist* YOU SON OF A BIIITCH!!! DAMN YOOOUUSSSS!!!

[apsu84]

@ska2808 :

Dani is just filth, like the name says ;P

[ska2808]

@apsu84 Brilliant.

[VoidBeyondTheRift]

@ska2808 Dani Filth is the biggest faggot, I am not surprised people pre-emptively hate metal with that douchefag at the helm.

[ska2808]

@VoidBeyondTheRift iz u seytan??? u rele kl lyk seytan......

[TalesfromtheCradle]

@VoidBeyondTheRift Implying metal in general isn't incredibly redicuous and gay. That's why we all listen to it!

[MetallicStevie]

@ska2808 Not really. That'd be like saying all metal guitarists rip off Karry King because he was one of the first people to use dark, shredding riffs. Dani sings high, so does Hecate... they both happen to sing the same way, not like either of them had a patent on the idea of singing high, either.

[ska2808]

@MetallicStevie "Singing high" and these kinds of vocals are not the same thing.

Plus, it's pretty well known among the scene that Jon from Hecate Enthroned was the bassist for Cradle and taught Dani how to do those vocals.

[deathmetalfan91]

stormlord is badass

[metaddiction]

awesome =D

[metaddiction]

love it :)

[acryster]

yeah...

[hellheadbanger]

I remember this album!! awesome song!!

few bands know how to use the keys and hecate enthroned was one of them!!

[frostwolf]

Caught these opening for finntroll a while ago, first time i heard them. fucking wicked

[nMAsee]

No entendes absolutamente nada. No me voy a gastar en decirte porque, tal vez algun dia lo sepas.

[tape74]

@nMAsee que paso no se de que hablan

[nMAsee]

@tape74 No recuerdo bien, pero creo que habia dicho que Hecate era una copia mala de Cradle y que todos lo sabian. Y despues lo reafirmo.

[nMAsee]

Estas hablando en serio?

[Todesessenz]

yeah rly like that!!! nais track!!

[Somethingreallycool]

I like Dimmu Borgir and just discovered these guys. I love symphonic black metal, is there anything else that sounds similar to these guys?

[acidinveins]

The older cradle of filth albums come close. Infact these guys were somehow rediculed for to much resemblence of cradle back in the day's.( I'm a big fan btw.) Btw I think the cover pic of this album is shot at the same location as the midpage pic of the midian album booklet from cradle.

[Somethingreallycool]

Yeah, I used to be in love with them. I have a poster of Elizabeth Bathory from "Cruelty and the Beast" staring at me right now, hah hah.

Really? I didn't know that (about midian).

[nemain99]

@Somethingreallycool Try Old Corpse Road. They're fairly similat
