CRADLE OF FILTH
The chilling sounds of Cradle Of Filth have been gathering attention for nearly five years. Challenging everything in their path, including police intervention on more than one occasion, the English sextet have fought their way to the top of Europe's blossoming black metal scene. Acting more like the soundtrack to the most twisted Peter Cushing movie in existence, the cold sweat that the band evokes quickly heats to a maddening torment as they welcome you to your most lavish nightmare.
Unlike most black metal albums, those that suffer greatly from less-than-fabulous production, Dusk And Her Embrace is a sonic gem.
Cradle Of Filth arrive in the U.S. amidst a fanfare of controversy. Having recently ungraced the cover of The London Mirror, the demi-gods continue to intimidate those of weak mind and body.
Under the self adopted banner of "Supreme Vampyric Evil", Cradle Of Filth have carved a niche for themselves amidst the whirl and rash of the rising black metal phenomenon. The band's raucous imagery and gothic flights of fancy have made them one of the biggest black metal bands of their time. And with European sales of the band's 1994 debut, The Priciple Of Evil Made Flesh, and 1996's Vempire - Dark Faerytales In Pallustein already exceeding over 100,000, they are without a doubt the biggest act of their kind the U.S. have seen since Venom. As the band's growing legion of fans continues to expand, so too does COF's hold on the darkened throne.
Eagerly anticipated, the release of Dusk And Her Embrace should make for an interesting new adventure for Cradle Of Filth. Your Hell awaits...
