Well take a dump all over my face

I really dont get all those people who say they hate cradle of filth, yet can't give a valid reason why.
I bet I can find 4-5 bands in their collection that will remind them of old cradle...

what I'm trying to say: Their old stuff is GREAT! :D
I think they dont really say why, because the reasons are generally the same for the people who dont like CoF...

Here's why i dont like them:

1) Dani's vocal's frequently go beyond a high scream and into just a high pitch noise, which can be unpleasant to many

2) Lyrically they are incredibly cheesy

3) The fact that they get embraced by the little hot topicers who think that they are the most evil and black metal think ever annoys me...

also, a lot of people don't like the symph goth stuff in their music


probably other reasons but those are the main ones
 
2) Lyrically they are incredibly cheesy
so is early Dimmu Borgir, you just couldn't tell:

A review on metal-archives of Stormblåst said:
The last album where the lyrics are in Norwegian. I gotta say that I find the lyrics to be hilarious at times. Example from the song 'Da Den Kristne Satte Livet Til':

"...Men endelig fikk jeg øye på stakkar'n
Jeg hevet min knyttede neve
Og skrek
Svake kristne!
Dø i natt!
Jeg skal flerre din sjel i to!..."

Translated it goes something like this:

"But finally I saw him
I raised my clenched fist
and screamed
Weak Christian!
Die tonight!
I will rip your soul in two!"

indeed
 
Their guitar work is adequate. That voice hurts my ears. (It really does, I can't take a certain range to due early hearing problems.)
 
Isabel, its hilarious that you say that.. I'm almost sure you haven't heard the album. I'm sending it to you no matter what you say.

Think a more thrashy stormblast. Right, now shhhhh.

I'm officially stepping off of the "Hate Cradle of Filth because its the true thing to do" bandwagon. Their new stuff, no dice. But the first two albums have earned a place in my heart.

i like dusk and her embrace.
I burned that cd for you, oh so long ago, didn't I?

I like Cradle of Filth. Hellspawn and his friends love Damnation & A Day, I love Cruelty & The Beast, and Dusk & Her Embrace is fucking great. My friend Mike claimed to have gotten Principle..., but then said he lost it. Bastard. I'd love to hear that cd and Vemphyr.
 
The idea of an elbow shooting human liquid goo is disturbing. BUt by all means please conitnue. WHen I wa a sophmore in Highschool i guess 5 or 6 years ago , cradle of filth was the first black metal band I heard and I hated Danis vocals. Now I absolutely love them and will probably remain a fan forever. But i like Immortal and Borknagar and Emperor too. The best thing is telling people you listen to black metal because people who dont know what that is always ask " IS THAT LIKE SEVENDUST ???" Its amazing a whole genre of music and not one black person in the whole damn thing. How much of an oxymoron is that?

cof rules. you're all a bunch of fucking posers.

Hey, valley girl, take out your KMFDM avatar, then maybe your opinion will have bearing on this issue. ...Oh wait, no it wont :tickled:

COF fucking sucks. I refuse to listen to testicle-shrinking shrieks from a three feet tall piss ant who wears fishnets and boots because he has a complex. Not to mention, he's one ugly little shit. The only thing they had going for them was Nick Barker and he's long gone...


MUAHAHA, NICK BARKER REMAINS IN LOCK UP, BUT HE'S NO LONGER IN ANY SHITTY NU-(melo?)-BLACKMETAL BANDS, MUAHAHAHAHA GRINDCORE OWNS YOU ALL


suck me off neal.
