Cradle Of Filth - S/D

'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!

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

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

hahahah

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

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

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

lol it kinda seemed like a satanic Monty Python sketch

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

I like Vempire. so sue me

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.

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

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

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

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

Oh thanks, great stuff.

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.
