What a terrible choice for me... at the end, pick for Cruelty but from Principle to Succubi I love it all.
Amazing ensemble indeed. |

| I like everything up to Midian, but I find myself going back to Vempire the most. |

People often don't realize how fast Cradle Of Filth went from being just a band to a full time job for the people involved. Like most underground bands, they strived to make it big. Sure the accessories and hordes of clueless fans aren't exactly something I welcome with open arms, but that goes with the territory when you're dealing with a successful heavy metal band.
They were practically metal mainstream when Dusk came out, weren't they? The side effects didn't resonate in all corners of the world until a few years later.

Fair enough. Back then a lot of bands in the underground were trying to 'make it', even Mayhem. Remember when century media changed all their bands logos to generic fonts? I still think CoF went above and beyond in the homo stakes though. Some of the shit they did/said mixed in with the utterly horrible romantic Gary Oldman Dracula lyrics/image was just too much.

You're what, about 17? |

Very well said. It's not CoF's fault if their own fan base consists of dumb teens and goth sluts for the main part.

I think that was pretty much the demographic they aimed themselves at, especially in the UK through the main stream media. It worked too and they had a relatively long period of "success".

That looks garbage. Anyone have an idea if the sound at least makes up for it? |

I honestly think Nigel Wingrove's amazing analog photomontages blow 99% of the contemporary Black Metal album covers out of the water. I love the Jean Rollin references. Extremely evocative stuff.

If I was Yosuke I would had banned this shit.
The spirit of NWN is against this band,I think.
Most gay band ever along with Dimmu borgir.I was hating them even when I was 16.They made bm mainstream for the masses and bastardized it with gothic and shitty keybords.They became popular in big magazines with advertisements.Is this underground?
I was reading the interview and they mentioned Glen Benton as fake.Someone should tell to Benton this,to break the faggot's teeth,one by one.
Fuck them!!! |

Cheers, might pick this up at some point then. But yes, it looks shitter than the band's later digital painting covers. |
