yes. cradle of filth HAS not, DOES not, and WILL not claim or sound to be black metal, so you fools need to get over it. they are 100% not a black metal band. thats everyones excuse for talking shit about them 'oh they're the pop black metal' no they fucking arent. CoF fucking rocks. i dont care if half their fanbase is little goth kids that are trying to piss off mommy and daddy by wearing nail polish and dyeing their hair. thats fine with me, easier to push em aside at concerts and get to the front. and dani has a great voice and a crazy vocabulary. fuck black metal right in the ear. CoF have nothing in common with that stuff besides goofy face paint. so whatever, ill take dusk..and her embrace over transelvanian hunger any day of the fuckin week.
