Cradle Of Filth - Any Goths Out There?

🐰 i do admit some of their songs i have to skip oz i just cant stand that amount of screaming and im a goth. i used to hate them and i also said to my mother..''i will never like KoRn, Slipknot or Cradle' year later im in to them the most. dont judge people coz what music they listen to man, or what they dress in, just because we may not fit your lifestyle or the things we do and like dont, dont mean we are doing anything wrong. i like everybody personally, i have all music on my playlist and all different clothes and shit, if townies ignore me i ignore them, they start on me i start back, most of the time though, i just walk away coz i really can't stant falling out with people. plus, not all goths are the same, some are druged up ****s, some self harm for fun, or for depression, music like cradle and slipkont is like a release of anger when we listen to it, its angry and meaningfull if you listen to it in the way we do. heh..wow i whent fully in to that one didn't i O.O😛..well yea theres my point say what ya like, people change, people are different, it sux but its life and then you die..🐰

One thing almost all goths do however, they all dress and act the way they do for attention.

Also, I like Korn, and Slipknot. But cradle of filth has too little melody and too much ugly screaming.

I agree. I'm fine with music being hard and agressive, but Cradle cross the line and often it's hard to call them music at all, it's just....noise.

music is different to different people, ive got Cd's that are pretty much just white noise played at different tones.....

and i think it was never mind the buzzcocks he was on, the one where they have that section "what do these 4 celebrities have in common?" 😕

even though most of it is noise, it is still good...lord abortion has a good sound and fear of the dark is noise but it is still class in my opinion

I've heard them I think they're okay, but I have'nt heard too much

i think they are an awsome band but im not goth im juss...me

i dont really like cradle of filth that much just because some of their lyrics are disguisting. sorry. they have good music though. i really like zao, norma jean, and living sacrifice better. those bands sound alot like cradle.

none of those bands sound any way similar to CoF.you compared Norma Jean(ultra Christian Hardcore) to Cradle(ultra Black metal). this is like saying ozzy sounds like metallica. horrible comparison.and as far cradle goes, there a pretty decent band, but if your looking for some good European black metal, then you should check out Dimmu Borgir(partly comprised of the old Cradle drummer) they blow Cradle away. and i surprised at so many people thinking that cradle scream too much. most of cradles songs are actaully very melodic compared to most black metal bands.i also noticed that AnImE-ChAoS metioned "i just cant stand that amount of screaming and im goth" first of all Crdle is no where near being goth metal. a good example of goth metal is lacuna coil. second of all, there is a difference between being a black metal dresser and a goth. you PROBSLLY have this image of goths as someone who paints their fingernails, and wear all black, when actually Goths are much more extreme. think vampirish.Vlad the Impaler was a real goth. todays social outcast have been wrongfully labeled goth. most people have never even seen a real goth. os saying this, its surprising to me that you even listen to cradle as most GOTHs listen to bands more along the lines of lacuna coil and such(very melodic fueled by hammering guitar riffs).and as far as Danny Filth having a "ugly" scream,this is one reason Cradle are as revered as they are.

Cradle are a band that people trying to be goths can claim as their own to try and sound extreme....

i dont even like Dimmu Borgir, but theyre better than Cradle

good taste....and i like your view on the subject.

i also herad watch them die might be playing

My partner suggested I listen to Her Ghost in the Fog once and after that I listened to alot of their other stuff too. I did like that one track he recommended and a few others but even though they did a lot for death metal early in their careers I think they've become somewhat generic similarly to impact of Dimmu Borgir.

I also agree with most of Moshtitan said on page 2 about current goth trends, general misconception about image (from supposed 'goths' plus people who look at it and judge) and real gothic culture. Oh and also the melodic death/goth metal that many are into, I just think that Lacuna Coil is a kind of borderline example - yep they fit in the right category but I think they are somewhat 'diluted' in terms of the genre let alone metal in general - and better examples might be bands like Theatre (English spelling 😛) of Tragedy, Rain Fell Within, Tristania etc. But anyway, you made good points 🙂

okay...the fact of the matter is CoF IS goth metal. there are SO many black metal bands that can prove CoF isn't black metal. Dimmu Borgir is perhaps the most mainstream example of such. that being said, you cannot listen to CoF, KoRn, Slipknot, and Marilyn Manson and parade yourself as a goth. you're basically nothing more than a unreasonably depressed nu metal kid with too much time on your hands, leaving you to turn introspective and become unfoundedly "depressed"(i realize i used the same word in one sentence, so before you try to make me look like a moron for doing so, i figure i might as well say it was intentional)

but that may very well just be my 2 cents.

COF also has very much black metal elements in its music

Yep, but they're still crappy.

matter of opinion
