Cradle Of Filth: The "Sick and Offensive" History | AP

People seem surprised how eloquent Dani is. Have you listened to his lyrics? The man knows how to write lyrics and articulate exactly what he wants to say and how he wants to say it.

[@thagirion9761]

You have to admire is lyricism. He’s quite the poet. That’s the one thing all other European bands don’t come close to. Especially, since English isn’t their native language.

@WhoDarestheMAN gamer I don't think this is about competing, since I believe it is a very subjective appreciation. But I'd dare to say that Maynard James Keenan is up there with one of the most relevant songwriting in the music industry.

[@TRENLORD]

No one comes close to the lyrical greatness of Dani. No one. For instance - and this can be said for any COF album, but since it is a concept album and the lyrics flow together, song to song - take Cruelty & the Beast. I’d say that is the greatest written album of all time, with a depth of lyrical greatness made even more difficult due to it being a continuing story.

With Barkers recent return to health - though I'm not sure if that's possible because I've heard his past friendships were tainted with gossip regarding his illness, which was a tooth related bacterial reaction not "HIV" but I digress - it'd be a pinnacle of entertainment, an interview to get that trio together either on film or transcripts separate relating to each other, or even on-the-phone/Skype interviews.

Simply amazing retrospect! Yeah, the band has lost it's mystery a long time ago and 2010's is so much different than 80's and 90's due to (probably) internet having lowered the shock value of everything. Simply put, people know lot of *real world* s*ht which scares much more than some made-up-anti-fantasy back in 90's. Back then Filth was really taken seriously by so many people, be it those back-then-teenagers or pro-christian-groups. Controversy was a real thing back then... now that the time has passed it's amazing to hear the point of view from the performer and I *really* love the way you guys got "the final laugh" by telling how (well, arguably) easy it was to control the crowds of listeners and haters. Right act at the right time. As for the music, I think it's amazing Filth continues it's journey! I stopped listening after the Cruelty And The Beast, as that was the peak album for me, but I was pleasantly surprised by live show the band threw in Finland 2018 - It was a nostalgic journey and band really threw a show, both visually and music-wise. Nice job! It's fun to hear Dani credit the soundtrack-genre and the importance it played for Filths music. Back in the 90's I was still growing to the music and slowly becoming (still an amateur) musician. After many iterations for over 20 years I finally understood that everything I had really loved in metal scene was about *the atmosphere*, which finally evolved my composing towards soundtrack-music. Filth with many other great band made great impact for my personal growth and those great songs are still part of music I continue to compose. Yeah, hell-of-a-retrospective! Cheers!

Great interview. I used to just disregard bands like COF, Cannibal Corpse, etc. They didn't fall into my box style wise and image wise.

He had a radio show late night on our local community radio station. He also played in a metal band. The next time I heard cradle of Filth was when it was walking by my daughter's bedroom when she was in high school and she was teaching herself how to play the bass by playing along with their albums. She's pretty amazing that way and it opened me up to checking out more of the material. Anyway, thanks for the great interview.

"Most people get into metal at puberty", hah, I was 13 when "The Principle of Evil Made Flesh" was released back in '94, have to admit I bought it because of the album cover but been a CoF fan since. \m/

[@bobbyincidemetal]

Alconaut666 Nice. I bought it because of the cover too!!

[@jasonbrereton7697]

Such a switched on guy . Been a fan for ever

[@merktoads1883]

So happy I got too see them live! I’ve been too so many concerts but CoF was legendary.

[@thejudgmentalcat]

My favorite CoF era was Damnation And a Day.

[@MrTrixzzzz]

Linda Ciccoli same

[@matthewjojola262]

Damn right hell yeah

[@5orgen51]

Presents from the Poison Hearted is the best

[@UberKvlt]

That album was the last straw for me. From Cruelty and the Beast onwards the sound became to polished and then they move to Sony of all labels and became this pompous sad looking circus. No thanks, nice bloke but

[@thomasackerly7732]

Gd album DAD

[@orckykat]

Love Dani,my fave CoF song of all time is Nymphetamine!!!

[@NymphetaminexXxGrrrl]

If you like Nymphetamine (which clearly i do) you have to listen to Nymphetamine Overdose! extended version with a killer intro.

[@peggycreek449]

Orcky Kat mine too. Mine too. That song is classic!!!!

[@peggycreek449]

NymphetaminexXxGrrrl already heard it. Its. Great. 👍 👍

[@peggycreek449]

He's got the whitest teeth. Pearly whites

[@peggycreek449]

Orcky Kat I also LOVE For those who died.

[@gasmaskestore8018]

Most people still don't understand that Cradle of Filth is an extreme GOTHIC band, they're goths who happen to like metal, not the other way around

[@MidianPOfficialytch]

You should write a poetic novel dani. Your lyrics mix with the instruments and vocals. beautiful.

[@cabalofdemons]

COF is the first black metal band I listened too. I first heard Born in a Burial Ground at age 15 during my descent into metal. I learned how bands can implement symphonic elements in metal music. Folks can hate, but you can't deny Filth's influence in extreme metal.

[@GERAH717]

Their not black metal....

[@CTCAC2000]

closed captions translated "cradle of filth" as "crayola" 16:26

[@matthewtopping2061]

Good interview. I was hoping he would go a bit more into the early early days of the band, when they were basically Carcass Jr.

[@jtheoriginal9775]

I miss original cradle of filth. Old cds. They're still my favorite band ever but the style is different and too many band members

[@saltpeter7429]

This guy is someone I enjoy listen to. Be it CRADLE, or an interview like this, I feel a bit of hope that not all is lost. I remember buying CRUELTY as a senior in High School, didnt give much thought to em since. Here it is 2021 and I have tons of material to dig through, all the material people scream "sell out" about, I love it. This band is what I have been missing all along. Brilliant and Artistic.

[@smallfaucet]

Awesome he was wearing a Bad Religion T! That crossbuster made it a LONG way! \m/

[@FatalArrivalMetal]

The legendary master himself. Great interview! \m/ \m/

[@altpress]

FatalArrival Thank you!! 🤘🤘

[@smokeknot]

Damnation and a Day is my absolutly fav album!!!

[@jonnyjonny1384]

let’s be real, most alternative press fans don’t know who any of these bands are

[@altpress]

Jonny Jonny Nobody knows EVERY band and not every band is for everyone. We embrace all facets of alternative music and try our best to provide a platform for artists to be candid and help expose all kinds of new music to people. Wouldn’t it be cool if someone found out about a band they really loved through Dani’s recommendation? Thank you so much for watching this and supporting Cradle Of Filth and us. We greatly appreciate it and hope you enjoyed the video. 🤘

[@nickw1822]

Wow what a nice guy definitely a fan of him and the band.

[@chrisstout7098]

Great interview Dani! I never get sick of band stories.

[@luuk6718]

0:47 so true, I really liked the times when I worked on Saturdays as a bicycle repairer when I was a teenager and spend half of my day's earnings (when there where no euros yet) on an album. I loved the exploration of bands in dusty record shops discovering CoF, Dimmu Borgir, Nile, Aeternus, Suicidal Tendencies, Biohazard, Panchrysia, Red Harvest, Meshuggah and many more. I still have the CD's. Man, those were good times. Can't wait to see CoF this year in October.

[@tuzni2677]

when i heard "gothic romance" back then in my scool age when i was 13,14.. years old I was shocked how powerfully and well, deeply, mixed feelings and to this day, in my 40s, I still feel these songs from that era, and especially for this song, which is a timeless and perfect work. I'm really glad that the band exists and works today!!

[@mannequin1832]

The band that got me into the wonderful world of metal.

[@altpress]

Luis Bonilla 🤘🤘🤘

[@huskarx1030]

Same here🤘

[@ksylo4805]

@@huskarx1030 Have you seen the new Cult Of Luna video for The Silent Man? It's just awesome, One of the greatest band around

[@mork6668]

I went to see Cradle last August and enjoyed it quite alot... and reminded me how fast years go by!!

[@carnivoretrades]

Lol if he didn't cite King Diamond as an influence I would have been absolutely shocked.
