[@sarafranklin779]

@WhoDarestheMAN gamer Google must really not be your strong point. He has dual Master's degrees in English Literature, and it is a point of trivia frequently mentioned in articles about the band. Dani is an incredibly talented and well educated lyricist.

[@Seeds-Of-The-Wayside]

No wonder he's such an intricate lyricist.

[@BunniMonster]

Lady's name is Liv Kristine (Ex Theatre of Tragedy/Leaves Eyes and wonderful solo vocalist) Excellent Cradle tracks: Gothic Romance Bathory Aria From the Cradle to Enslave My Liv Kristine recommendation: Waves of Green (Absolutely beautiful solo track) It's worth having lyrics on hand for Cradle as their lyrics are probably the most poetic (In the truest sense of the word) writings in recent history and contain a ridiculous amount of wordplay. Dani is by far my favourite lyricist of all time.

[@PyrettaBlaze]

To clarify for you, Nymphetamine is about her being his addiction, it is about their relationship being toxic. Think of it as a love story, but in reverse. That is the abbreviated version for you. As for your question about screaming, he was not talking, but singing with a guttural tone, this is still singing as you can clearly hear the enunciation of each word. I hope this clears up any confusion for you.

[@MoonlitKarma]

I think it’s more like growling. Is that what it’s called? I’m used to death metal growling, and it sounds similar. But also, thank you! Not everyone realizes this about the lyrics.

[@PyrettaBlaze]

Growling is more like Whitechapel or The Acacia Strain, guttural is more like Cradle of Filth or Pantera. I hope these references help you. 😺

[@chucknyah]

It's kind of a whispering scream, he uses fry vocal to reach it

She's not "just" Liv Kristine from Leaves' Eyes. She is a godamn legend, the mother of Gothic Metal, the creator of the original Beauty & the Beast dynamics, ex member of Theatre of Tragedy; one of the pioneering bands not only in the Gothic Metal subgenre, but in mixing female vocals with death growls. We owe her an entire subgenre of music, Hail Liv!

[@thenecrosanct4906]

She deserves credit, true, but claiming that we owe the entire subgenre of Gothic Metal to her is too much credit. That credit goes to 3 British bands: My Dying Bride, Paradise Lost and Anathema. Heck, even Type-O-Negative adopted the gothic style long before ToT rose from the woodwork. Then there's a little band called Tiamat that had heavy gothic influences before ToT. Without them there would most likely not be a Theatre of Tragedy at all, or it would've sounded very different. We can credit the band with adopting the clean female/male growl vocal combination as a main musical element. Yes, I'll give you that. An idea they lifted from bands like The Gathering, Paradise Lost and Cradle of Filth. But to say the entire subgenre was founded on Theatre of Tragedy only shows ignorance on the genesis of Gothic Metal. They popularized ONE element of the wide spectrum that is Gothic Metal, the Beauty and the Beast element as it's referred to.

[@isaiahwelch8066]

My interpretation: "Nymph" actually refers to what Celts, Pagans, and Greeks referred to as the Fae, or "Fair Folk." Basically, a being diminutive in size -- and very beautiful to boot. Amphetamines are drugs that have a high addiction percentage, like crystal methamphetamine, or normal methamphetamine. In essence, I believe the song is about the addiction of trying to look beautiful, no matter what the cost, even to the point of death.

[@Werewolf914]

Huh interesting interpretation, the way I always thought of it was that he was super in love probably even obsessed with a Women to the point that being with her was like a drug and though it's a bit clingy he couldn't be anywhere without her. Hence the chorus lines like "in my heart that barless Prison" and "this lust, this Vampiric addiction, to her alone in full submission" But one thing that I also wondered as whether this led to him either dying, or trying to kill himself because you also have lines like the beginning where he says "Cold was my soul, untold was the pain I faced when you left me a Rose in the rain. So I swore to the *razor* that never enchained, would your dark nails of faith, be pushed through my veins again" as well as the first bit of his part of the chorus "*six feet deep* is the incision" as well as her saying "bared on your tomb" which to me implies that maybe he did die or try to? Guess we'll never know the true meaning unless Dani says what he wrote it about. So really any interpretation could be correct.

The title is a portmanteau of "nymphette" and "amphetamine" and Dani Filth explained it as referring to "a drug-like addiction to the woman in question, with her insidious vampire qualities literally bringing her lover back from the brink of the spiritual grave, only to bury him further on the strength of a whim. This is very Edgar Allan Poe in style, and leaves one thinking that, despite the character's inner agonies, he is really a welcome submissive who readily enjoys the terrible highs and lows of his relationship with this alluring and filthy succubus."

Everything Dani does is golden. I love you man. My world is crumbling around me tonight. My chosen Father died and I'm beside myself, meth and booze and none of this would make him proud. But I'm dying inside and I have to face his death. Thank you for putting these reaction videos up. All this Metal that you respond to is my life. Thanks.

[@tylosam]

I just discovered your channel and i keep thinking of a song to recommend but youve reacted to all of them so far lol love seeing people listening to my favorite stuff for the first time and appreciated the music and meanings ✊️👍

[@DunPat69]

Liv Kristine is the singer. She sang on Delain’s debut album “lucidity” another band you have to check out.

[@isaiahaldhafera9752]

Isn't Liv also on Leave's Eyes?

[@Kjetterix]

She was the original singer of Theatre of Tragedy as well

[@DunPat69]

Nhik Granger yes she is but I’m not feeling that band.

[@hajarch5190]

I saw her more in leaves eyes but ye she did some théâtre of tragedy with elis too with a looot of bands she has a special voice tone

Cradle of Filth - “Gilded Cunt” and “Nemesis”. Try those songs. Same album as this one.

[@Darrthjesus]

from the cradle to enslave. both the song and uncensored video. the rest suxx

[@mattball420]

Gilded cunt is my favorite cof song lol nemesis is a close one too

[@OurFoundingLiars]

English fire is an underrated track from this album too. Sounds like it could be a single

[@societylabeledme]

Bro I won't give up! Please check out Fit For a King-"The Price of Agony"

[@VenusMacabre]

That woman is Liv Kristine! One of the absolute QUEENS of Gothic Metal originally from Theatre of Tragedy and Leaves' Eyes. If you enjoyed this song, you should try old Theatre of Tragedy (especially their first 3 albums, though the third is actually a goth album instead of a Metal one), and Tristania's first 3 as well. Maybe Sirenia too. My favorites are, for Theatre of Tragedy: Fair and 'Guilling Copesmate Death, A Hamlet for a Slothful Vassal, Der Tanz der Schatten, Bring Forth Ye Shadow, Venus, Cassandra. Tristania: Beyond the Veil, My Lost Lenore, Angina, Evenfall, Heretique, Crushed Dreams.

[@brokenheart1290]

This song are one of the best of "Cradles", cos of "Theater of tragedy" vocalist . In 2008 I loved so much this album also.

[@wendyg1059]

Oh, no... that's not him screaming. Listen to some of their other stuff to hear him scream, lmao!

[@coryofGahool]

"We were needle and spoon, mislaid in the burning hay." "More sugar trails. More white lady laid.. than pillars of salt." My favorite lines from this song.

[@marinedude_06]

No, it's considered growling. The part when he was "talking".

[@CommanderLily]

yes, he sings the vocalist "dani filth" all that voices, is so cool! specially in that video in that song

[@idani4735]

Akemi Ogasawara Hanazono there is a female vocalist ...

[@lynnelauriha4361]

I came across them on KZbin and listen to them. I'm 55 years old a grandma and I actually f****** love them

[@willbuilloliverasnieves1857]

The woman is Liv Kristine formely of "Theatre of Tragedy" and now from "Leaves's Eyes".

[@lossow1]

Sadly no longer with Leaves Eyes - they sacked her and have a new vocalist now.

[@eddy.silva32]

Liv is ex vocalist since 2015 when she broke up with her ex-husband Alexander Skrull(Atrocity and Leave's eyes). She is the second vocal in the band Midnattsol since 2017.;)

[@Gzm-ci2pw]

"the death of love" is another great song of them.

[@haroldkeearns3497]

Hands down my favorite band of all time. Should check out From the Cradle to the Grave. It was thier first video.

[@mattball420]

His raspy talking is "vocal fry" its not a singing technique, its actually a definition in medical dictionaries, its basically what the grudge girl does lol its a good way to find your fry scream though

[@ehrinah_al-jeordhi]

OMG exactly!!! That's what I tell people when they want to learn black metal type vocals. Do the grudge sound and then push while trying to hold that. 😁

[@Schm1dtSc0ut]

You should listen to Ayreon. All albums have a great story and the live shows are awesome. For a good start try: Ayreon - The Day That The World Breaks Down

[@vegarmartinsen]

Yes!!!!

[@LongandWeirdName]

No. Why would you tell him to start at the end? Even starting with Day 11 Love or Day 16 Loser would be better, even though that's still not early enough. I'd go with a lyrics video for something like My House on Mars, or Across the Rainbow Bridge, or First Man on Earth, or The Garden of Emotions.

[@isaiahwelch8066]

@@gamesandsoftwares1441 : I'm not livin' under a rock, 'cause I listen to some beautiful and epic metal, but duuude... Hallowed Be Thy Name is a classic Maiden song! I just hope they did the song justice -- because I've heard some awesome covers, like Unleash the Archers (Queen of the Reich by Queensryche, and Northwest Passage), Sabaton (Kingdom Come by Manowar), Disturbed (Land of Confusion by Genesis and Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel), and Amaranthe (82nd All the Way, by Sabaton). Doing a cover is like...trying to update a classic car. Sometimes it succeeds (Mustang), sometimes it fails horribly (PT Cruiser, New Beetle, Chevy HHR).

She is Liv Kristine. Married to Alex Krull, Frontman of Atrocity. She is norwegian, but speaks german very well. Krull and Kristine got divorced some years ago. The really Go for her carrier was her singing in Theatre of Tragedy, a very known band! Also interesting is her first, I think, Soloalbum. She did a very beautiful Song with Nick Holmes (Paradise Lost), it is called 3am. Love it! Liv is a very beautiful singer and a lovely person.

Cradle is one of the best bands to see live. They are very technical. The songs are perfectly executed. I suggest you to check "From the cradle to slave"(it's a must), "Mannequin" or "Babalon A.D." 🤘
