- Release Notes -



Cradle of Filth is an extreme metal band from Suffolk, England. Formed in

1991, they have been embraced and disowned with equal fervour by various

metal communities, and their particular subgenre has provoked a great deal of

discussion.



The band's sound evolved from black metal to a cleaner and more "produced"

amalgam of gothic metal, symphonic black metal and other extreme metal

styles, while their lyrical themes and imagery are heavily influenced by

gothic literature, poetry, mythology and horror films. The band have

successfully broken free of their original niche by courting mainstream

publicity (often to the chagrin of its early fanbase), and this increased

accessibility has brought coverage by the likes of Kerrang! and MTV, frequent

main stage appearances at major festivals such as Ozzfest, Download and even

the mainstream Sziget Festival, and in turn a more "commercial" image. They

have sometimes been perceived as Satanic by casual observers, although their

outright lyrical references to Satanism are few and far between, and use of

satanic imagery has arguably always had more to do with the shock value than

any seriously-held beliefs. According to Metal Hammer magazine, they are the

most successful British metal band since Iron Maiden.
