We really needed a thread for the world's premier type of music, so I created one, and here it is.

Rock on!

It gets even more complicated when you get 'hardcore', 'grind' and 'doom', amongst others. I don't have a clue what any of those are.

Their first few albums were very black metal, kind of scary to be honest; aggressive sound with really high pitched screeching then cutting back to a more melodic part with a female voicover with a strong english accent but with an insane sound to it (Like that Drucilla woman from Buffy but with a real english accent, not that I watch Buffy of course, ahem). But from what I've heard of their later stuff (songs like No Time To Cry and Babylon AD) they've really cut back on the blackness and given it catchy vocal lines and softer riffs.
If anything they've adopted a more numetal sound and stopped the scariness.
No, really, I mean they had a song on Midian called The Rape And Ruin Of Angels, wierd stuff, then they've moved on to songs called No Time To Cry. Eh.

Anyway, not all black metal is bad, the vocals are realy offputting at first but there is some good stuff out there. Having said that I used to hate it all.

Cradle of Filth aren't heavy metal, they are black metal. Which as a rule, is crap.

The only song by Cradle of Filth I can say I have heard, and enjoyed is 'Her Ghost in the Fog'. The lyrics are really haunting.

Most of their other stuff, though, is overly freaky, even in my opinion.

Cradle of Filth are really terrible. They try far too hard to be gothic and everything but they just plain suck.

There are many far better 'heavy heavy metal' bands than Cradle Of Filth.

Seems like a great site, and the prices look fantastic. Like the look of the Master of Puppets shirt- great album, but also great artwork.
