    Discuss the greatest british black metal band in the world. Opinions on Damnation in a Day, and whether it is better than Creulty and the Beast or Midian.
    Best Album, song, band memeber, models etc.

    Come on in.

    I haven't seen the video for Born in a Burial gown yet, but I bought the Bitter Suites to Succumbi album the other day, and it has the video on it I think.

    The new albums aren't as good as Midian, but Damnation in a Day is more Heavy Metal than Black Metal.

    But the new album will be out on Roadrunner soon, so it might take us back to the good old days of Cruelty and the Beast and Midian.

    I think they tried to sell out, but I'm not sure if it worked, but they are to commercial for me now.

    They didn't sell out, they changed there record labal from Music for Nations to Abracadaver and Sony, now they're on Roadrunner. All they did was try to get more well known, which isn't really a crime.
    I have 5 albums now, but I can't seem to find the first 3, Vempire..., and the other two which I can remember the name of. Can anyone tell me where to find them?

    You can order them from Century Media. I didn't say they sold out. I said they tried to. They are still too poppy for my taste now.

    Death Metal/Black metal is complete crap compared to Hardcore.

    I love how narrow minded people put "That Is All" after their posts as if that made their opinion the absolute truth.

    I hate black metal, too....but as long as there are people who DO like it...its here to stay.

    Now...THAT is all.

    Cobranaconda, this is a command!

    You must go out and find
    -The Principle of Evil Made Flesh - The original Black Goddess Rises is beautiful. The atmosphere they captured is amazing!
    -V Empire - The studio version of Queen of Winter, Throned is a masterpiece, as is the rest of this EP
    -Dusk and Her Embrace - My favorite! The original Funeral in Carpathia, A Gothic Romance and Malice Through the Looking Glass are three of Cradle's best songs. The album's atmosphere is magic!

    Also I think the lyrics on V Empire and Dusk and Her Embrace are Dani's best. There's something to the style of these two recordings that sound absolutely dark, majestic, and romantic! Lyrics all written in the flowery style of Elizabethan English, but the songs are about erotic fantasies with vampires and the dead stalking the living, and such. Awesome stuff. Highly recommended!

    EDIT - I can't believe you cannot find these in Britain! I live in Canada and I can find those CDs everywhere!

    Lucky you, I'm still looking though. The local shops aren't great though. If I lived near a big city like London or Glasgow or Birmingham, I might be able to find them, but Salisbury is small, so it sucks a bit.
    But I'll try harder to find them.

    Have you asked the staff at the stores to order in the CDs for you? They should if they want to get business.

    Yeah, Lovecraft and Witch Hearts is garbage.

    The first disc is just a mish-mash of material gathered from their previous four releases, and the second disc is a bunch of remixes and cover songs that were mostly previously released in 'limited edition' discs.

    Their studio releases are great, though! I can't wait until Nymphetamine is completed!

    OK, I went out and bought 5 Cradle of Filth CDs, including a UK-only CD which is pretty sweet.

    Which ones did you get?

    I think that in order, of the ones I have so far, the best to the worst are:

    Midian
    Cruelty and the Beast
    Bitter Suites to Succumbi
    From the Cradle to Enslave
    Live Bait for the Dead Disk 1
    Lovecraft and Witchhearts Disk 1
    /\ /\ /\ /\ 2
    Live Bait Disk 2
    Damnation and a Day.

    I am also looking forward to Nymphetamine. Does anyone know it's release date yet. All I know is that it comes out early summer.
