Hmm a band that sucks eh..well in my opion "Cradle Of Filth"
First of all ALOT of peole say they are black metal, and there not!!. There more like a crappy heavy metal band thats wanna be black metal, they use there lyrics based on satan and all he stands for..ha wow, to me its just all fancy show and they use it just to get attention and more media attention. Pff if you ever want black metal thats actually real black metal try listening to Agony Lords, Aggressor, Arch Enemy, Behemoth, Black Empire, Dark throne,Dimmu Borgir, Dark Funeral, Evermore. Trust me I know my stuff..these guys are really into it and there lyrics are saying what they really belive in and think, Not like cradle. For instance this is lyrics from cradle's "Midian" CD and ill be comparing it to a Dark Throne cd "Sardonic Wrath"
A Queen of snow
Far beyond compare
Lips attuned to symmetry
Sought Her everywhere
Trappistine eyes
An Arabian nightmare...
She was Ersulie possessed
Of a milky white skin
My porcelain Yin
A graceful Angel of Sin
And so for Her...
The breeze stank of sunset and camphor
My lantern chased Her phantom and blew
Their Chapel ablaze and all locked in to a pain
Best reserved for judgement that their bible construed...
Putting reason to flight
Or to flame unashamed
I swept form cries
Mesmerized
By the taffeta Ley
Or Her hips that held sway
Over all those at bay
Save a mist on the rise
A final blessing to hide
Her ghost in the fog
And I embraced
Where lovers rot...
Her ghost in the fog
Her ghost in the fog
Before this there were 11 verses! to this song, Its way too long and sometimes the people listening have no idea what there saying, a couple friends told me they just like there music sound, and sometimes there lyrics make no sense, like above at times. Now for Dark Throne..
It would take a world of executioners
to see the need of henchmen in everyday life
(the) credibility of the meek
Stained with the juice of frustrated priests
What you don't feel will hurt (you) in hell
I'm straightening sharks in heaven
What you don't feel will hurt (you) in hell
We're straightening sharks in heaven
(when) All you take for granted is fake
And all the angles are on the take
Fear the silent majority
When you hate, God can't see you
The sins you don't feel will hurt (you) in hell
I'm straightening sharks in heaven
What you don't feel will hurt (you) in hell
We're straightening sharks in heaven
This is the whole song mind you, unlike cradle's 1000 verse song haha. These lyrics I can understand. There getting to the pont..to corrupt the good in heaven and how all good is lost. Well the point is that cradle's lyrics makes no sense at times and if they are "black metal" there far from it.
Another thing about them is that the singer's voice is sooo annoying and high pitched like a little girls, and speaking of girls there is a chick that sings in there, who is kinda fat and everyone makes fun of her. Including myself, but she has a great voice and id rather listen to her. Oh! haha well I actually have cause she has her own band, the names "Angtoria". Hmm maybe she went to form her own band cause the band she was in (Cradle Of Filth) sucked heh. I have heard Cradle at Ozzfest and I couldnt stand there and listen to them, not that they were too loud or anything, Also I could not bring myself to listen to one of there cd's because of how bad and annoying they are. I think they just get more fans through Bam Margerra or however you spell it and there going to be crap in the near future
