dani filths lyrics always leave me thinking of how a human being can write such evil and at the same time beautiful texts. its too much for me to comprehend

[@Behemoth9030]

Phil Böhm the man is basically Metal’s Shakespeare, such a legendary writer!

[@Ya_Mum1984]

It's not evil, it's beauty that is portrayed as something (that is supossed to be) Vile. something to be shuned. (something that at first seems abhorint but reading the words you understand it to be poetry) WELL, thats my opinion anyways.

[@helderandrade7608]

It's a lot of nonsense shits kkkk

[@jorgealves7770]

true, his lyrics are very Romantic in this sense

[@alhz9076]

Other world beings inspire him. Those lyrics are not his essentially. Those words are the story of luci and his/her army. The disloyal seraphim who's beauty was snatched and whom are to blame for our current state of misery. The same ones that hate the human race and wish to drag their souls along with them because they were cast out. There is beauty and satanic poetry in his lyrics and although he has masters on literature and whatnot, i do not feel those stories are his alone. Have you read damnation and a day? Oh boy. Yashua the Kristos is the real deal, this guy's lyrics prove it and much more, seems like love/ faith fell to disloyalty and now we are on the edge because of free will. Total loss of self control is our demise. Dani knows it, he chose one side. The worldly lusts and pleasures. Beautiful way to portray the death of love and the soul, very enticing to the simple minded.

[@Broccoli_Highkicks]

Gothic/symphonic black metal at this point in their career. A few albums later, the goth influence gradually gave way to a death/thrash influence. Haven't listened to their new stuff enough in more recent years to categorize it. I'm not necessarily a huge goth fan, but I do feel CoF were at their best at their most goth - i.e. Vempire through Cruelty And The Beast.

[@andreamiari5345]

Capolavoro totale di black metal, nei loro testi e note un 'atmosfera gelida nebbiosa vampiristica, tragica ,diabolica ma romantica allo stesso tempo. Le loro canzoni sono monumentali e gotiche elaborate complesse dense. Per me una delle migliori band di Black Metal in assoluto. Ricordate che il Black Metal non è un genere semplice da capire. 2+2 lo sanno fare tutti, le espressioni con polinomi radici quadrate frazioni e chi più ne ha più ne metta invece sono molto più difficili. Quindi chi non riesce a capire, studi.
