― , Saturday, 26 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Based on a description of their live show I heard once, sure.

GNOME OF DARKNESS LEAD SINGER: "Thenk yew. This next song is about dead virgins."

― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 26 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Search: the album & song titles. Destroy: the actual music. If it's heavy-makeup gothy black metal you want, there are a lot better ways of getting it.

― John Darnielle, Saturday, 26 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

The music video I saw of them had bondage women, deformed midgets, wrist slitting with violin bows, ripped off faces, and other bloody assortments (search? destroy? i leave it up to you).

― Honda, Saturday, 26 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

uhhh. well. at the risk of embarassing myself in public, again, i would say that "midian" is alright. bubblegum black metal; cheesy, overdone, but also much more accessible/listenable on a regular basis than nokturnal mortum, profanatica, mayhem, etc. the video for "her ghost in the fog" (best song on the album) is also quite a treat; once again, all i will say is "coordinated leather bodysuits - WITH NIPPLES!"

― your null fame, Saturday, 26 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I couldnt care less for the music myself but destroy their promo company, annoying shits.

Chapter IV - Cruelty & The Beast
Vempire or Dark Faerytales In Phallustein

I enjoyed their "Jesus is a Cunt" t-shirt campaign, but their music -- and whole aesthetic, really -- is just silly, silly and thrice silly.

― Alex in NYC, Monday, 28 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

their music -- and whole aesthetic, really -- is just silly, silly and thrice silly.

This is exactly why they are CLASSIC. I don't own a single album and probably never will, but I feel just a little bit happier knowing that groups like Cradle Of Filth exist. "Her Ghost In The Fog" is one of the best songs I heard in 2000.

― Dan Perry, Monday, 28 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

two years pass...

Cradle Of Filth is the most HARDCORE band that will ever be. Dani has the best voice I ever heard. Play on forever. I'll buy every album.

― Wes, Monday, 18 October 2004 20:59 (twenty-one years ago)

one year passes...

I am a blacker.I have a band named Writings of Darkness.I try to make my voice to sing as Dani .I can do it but is very difficult.Ok i love cradle of filth

― darkanger, Saturday, 12 November 2005 15:40 (twenty years ago)

they are christianized weaklings, not even fit to lick my vomits.

― Mr. Vas Djifrens (byzantum), Saturday, 12 November 2005 16:21 (twenty years ago)

baby cradle of chritian shits, more like.

― Mr. Vas Djifrens (byzantum), Saturday, 12 November 2005 16:23 (twenty years ago)

For first thing, they have many gay melodies in their music, as well as structure and other weakling songwriting tendencies. For the second thing, they openly cavort their philosophy so as to appeal to females.

― Janne Karlsson, Sunday, 13 November 2005 08:53 (twenty years ago)

Janne, it's been so long since you post, are you well?

― mzui (mzui), Sunday, 13 November 2005 11:48 (twenty years ago)

I am sick with misanthropy. To exist is to be unwell. And you?

― Janne Karlsson, Sunday, 13 November 2005 21:37 (twenty years ago)

Oh fair to middling, you know...

― mzui (mzui), Sunday, 13 November 2005 21:51 (twenty years ago)

I look up this phrase (A strange expression indeed!) and it is so to mean: not bad, just OK, etc. This is how you are feeling?

― Janne Karlsson (moley), Sunday, 13 November 2005 23:14 (twenty years ago)

I guess it is.

Better to have a sparrow in the hand than an eagle in the skies, as my bulgarian grandmother used to say...

― mzui (mzui), Sunday, 13 November 2005 23:51 (twenty years ago)

Also, stare at a goose and you will no doubt be the one who honks tomorrow. Many times I have had the occasion of to ponder this wisdom.

― Janne Karlsson (moley), Monday, 14 November 2005 00:20 (twenty years ago)

Yes, I have often considered that saying, an epithet for fans of the Greek (so called) 'True Metal' band Iced Earth.

― mzui (mzui), Monday, 14 November 2005 00:30 (twenty years ago)

i have an epitaph for the fans of iced earth

― Mr. Vas Djifrens (byzantum), Monday, 14 November 2005 01:40 (twenty years ago)

'they died as they lived-as christianizing pussys'

― Mr. Vas Djifrens (byzantum), Monday, 14 November 2005 01:42 (twenty years ago)

Yes, and what is with it in the name of themselves. Iced Earth? They are some kind of sweet teacake, so we are to think? 'Please, Ripper and your friends, pass me an iced earth and perhaps also a sweet custard tart for it is high tea in the parlour of metal pussies!

― Janne Karlsson (moley), Monday, 14 November 2005 02:24 (twenty years ago)

I couldn't agree more, their own coarse and uninformed model of Norse mythology backfires and becomes an idiomatic embarrassment that exposes their own willful goonishness, it cracks me!

Know they not that during the real third occurence of Fimbulvetr, Naglfar, the ship made out of dead men's nails, will carry the frost giants to the battlefield, Vigrid....

But that is for another time and place, just because we know eagles eat bagels, it doesn't necessarily mean beagles hate seagulls if you get my drift, Hoij!

― mzui (mzui), Monday, 14 November 2005 04:12 (twenty years ago)

Yes, I have specific objection to Cradle of Filth melodies, some of which use hejaz and other Islamic-influenced musical scales. They think we do not notice this! Ha! We notice, Dani Filth, we hear it all. Of this black metal impurity I will only say this: when you sleep under the frostmoon, wholly unwatched are your carrots and your cabbages. No more than this need be said.

― Janne Karlsson (moley), Monday, 14 November 2005 04:30 (twenty years ago)

ten months pass...

search: the principles of evil made flesh
destroy: most everything else, crap live as well, the vocals were about 60 times louder than anything else in the mix

― Charlie Howard (the sphinx), Wednesday, 4 October 2006 13:44 (nineteen years ago)

I once really pissed off a German by telling him Nightwish sounded a bit like Cradle of Filth.

― chap who would dare to contain two ingredients. Tea and bags. (chap), Wednesday, 4 October 2006 13:49 (nineteen years ago)

dani's description of a new meatloaf song in the newest decibel had my laughing up a storm! i'll type it out for you guys cuz i'm nice. the whole exchange is pretty funny:

filth: awful. this is like the music that would be on something like Save The Last Dance, that sort of film about a struggling black dancer in the heart of the Big Apple. and he meets this woman who trains him. this would be the bit where he's coming back to life in the spotlight. and he'd be in the spotlight, and he'd just be rehearsing...and he does these spins, and suddenly he'd spin around and there'd be a whole crowd of people.

allender: i only like the Bat Out Of Hell album. The first one.

filth: Shat Out Of Hell. that should be our next album, with just a huge anus on the cover, but like really, really worked up...pshhew. dragon bursting forth.

― scott seward (scott seward), Wednesday, 4 October 2006 13:57 (nineteen years ago)

hahaha, god, i love that. their whole call & response listening party section is hilarious.

― scott seward (scott seward), Wednesday, 4 October 2006 13:57 (nineteen years ago)

Hahah, brilliant.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 4 October 2006 14:01 (nineteen years ago)

awesome

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Wednesday, 4 October 2006 15:41 (nineteen years ago)

one year passes...

'the black goddess rises' is a really good tune.

hard to tell how serious these guys were even way back then, but this tune is... competent and fun!

― Charlie Howard, Tuesday, 20 November 2007 14:44 (eighteen years ago)

I quite enjoy their cover of Heaven 17's "Temptation."

― Alex in NYC, Tuesday, 20 November 2007 18:16 (eighteen years ago)

"Competent and Fun" should be the name of their next album

― latebloomer, Tuesday, 20 November 2007 19:04 (eighteen years ago)

hahahah

― Charlie Howard, Friday, 30 November 2007 04:55 (eighteen years ago)

Cruelty and the Beast is the only one that engaged me all the way through.

― Bo Jackson Overdrive, Friday, 30 November 2007 05:08 (eighteen years ago)

seven years pass...

the fuck? the album is actually called V Empire and not Vempire?

― Hammer Smashed Bagels, Monday, 6 April 2015 19:49 (ten years ago)

That bizarre exchange from 2005 made this thread worth clicking on.

― ultros ultros-ghali, Monday, 6 April 2015 20:00 (ten years ago)

lol it kinda seemed like a satanic Monty Python sketch

― Hammer Smashed Bagels, Monday, 6 April 2015 20:03 (ten years ago)

Those guys are on other black metal threads somewhere. Really funny stuff.

― Robert Adam Gilmour, Monday, 6 April 2015 21:09 (ten years ago)

I like Vempire. so sue me

― Hammer Smashed Bagels, Sunday, 12 April 2015 18:27 (ten years ago)

Oh yeah it's the only CoF record that is worth holding on to. Does everything the band ever wanted to convey in a brief and intense thirty-odd minutes.

― Siegbran, Sunday, 12 April 2015 18:46 (ten years ago)

That 2005 conversation is exactly how I've always imagined It and All of Abruptum talk to each other.

― Devilock, Sunday, 12 April 2015 22:11 (ten years ago)

Tried to search their other conversation about their goth girlfriends called stuff like Morgana and Lilith, but no luck.

― Robert Adam Gilmour, Sunday, 12 April 2015 22:58 (ten years ago)

Janne Karlsson was obv moley/colin but I don't think I ever knew who Mr. Vas Djifrens was. Classic in any case.

― EveningStar (Sund4r), Monday, 13 April 2015 00:04 (ten years ago)

Making love to black metal - share rituals and techniques etc, whatever

― EveningStar (Sund4r), Monday, 13 April 2015 00:08 (ten years ago)

Oh thanks, great stuff.

― Robert Adam Gilmour, Monday, 13 April 2015 00:22 (ten years ago)
