Cradle of Filth is an extreme metal band from Suffolk, England, formed in 1991. They have been embraced and disowned with equal fervour by various metal communities, and their particular subgenre has provoked a great deal of discussion.
The band's musical style evolved from black metal to a cleaner and more "produced" amalgam of gothic metal, symphonic black metal and other extreme metal styles, while their lyrical themes and imagery are heavily influenced by gothic literature, poetry, mythology and horror films. They have sometimes been perceived as Satanic by casual observers, although their outright lyrical references to Satanism are few and far between, and use of Satanic imagery has arguably always had more to do with the shock value than any seriously-held beliefs.
Members:
Dani Filth – lead vocals (1991–present) Paul Allender – lead guitar (1992–1996, 2000–present) Charles Hedger – session/live guitar (2005–present) Dave Pybus – bass guitar (2002–present) Martin Marthus Skaroupka – drums, percussion (2006–present) Sarah Jezebel Deva – session/live backing vocals (1996–present) Rosie Smith – session/live keyboards (2006–present)
I absolutely love their Sisters Of Mercy cover No Time To Cry and Nymphetamine (also sometimes known as Nymphetamine Fix) feat. Nymphetamine Girl.
