SOUL SINGER discovers CRADLE OF FILTH! Then becomes a GOTH!

[@olalundqvist3080]

Dani Filth (the vocalist in Cradle of Filth) is one of my All time favourite lyricists. He Really knows stuff and his choice of wording is Absolute Top notch.

[@SoulSingerDiscovers]

Yeah the lyrics are really well put together, I think out of the few I’ve found so far I would rank COF lyrics as the best. So far of course 😊

[@wolverine669]

​@@SoulSingerDiscovershis Shakesperian style of writing is something amazing. Liv Kristine, who was featured in this song, was in Theatre Of Tragedy from 1994 to 2003. After the daperture she formed Leaves' Eyes with her husband Alexander Krull and other Atrocity members.

the Metal spectrum is so vast that there are Genres and Sub-genres within those Genres. not to make it sound dark and foreboding, but if you dive into that rabbit hole you're not very likely to come back out, just because of the vast variety of it all.

[@larrymartinez667]

Liv's original band was Theatre of tragedy. In velvet darkness we fear is an amazing album. Sarah Jezebel Diva was Cradle of filths original female singer.

[@Kraakesolv]

Velvet Darkness they Fear is amazing and should be reacted to in more channels. Many were inspired by them, few came close to their songwriting.

[@philljeffery2905]

Livs vocals are awesome and that album is a killer album which features the awesome track And when he falleth which features samples of Vincent Price lifted from "The Masque of the Red Death".

[@martinkasper197]

Liv then went to Germany to form Leaves Eyes (with her now ex-husband Alex and the members of Atrocity). I knew them personal, but Liv had to leave the band because of their divorce...

In my opinion Dani Filth is the modern day Shakespeare . I dont think there is anyone one out there that can touch his mastery of the English language . His lyrics draw you in to beautiful and yet horrific vitas in your minds eye with his poetic storytelling whether it be this song (Nymphetamine) or the epic Tearing the Veil from Grace

She's a guest vocalist but they always have a female backing singer Liv Kristine the female singer on this song was the lead singer of Leaves' Eyes and Theatre Of Tragedy and now has a good solo career too those 2 bands are both incredible and some of the best in their genres Leaves' Eyes are symphonic (classical) folk metal and Theatre of Tragedy are gothic metal

A great demonstration on what the band (regardless of who’s in it at the time) is capable of. And also a great demonstration of Dani’s vocal range. He capable of much more than this and I highly recommend listening to all of their albums just so you can get an understanding of how he’s grown.

[@Amarth13]

This is the song that got me into them, you have to listen to the full album version though.

For sure I think this might be a moment when I find something I love so I’m definitely gonna do that 😊

OMG! You noticed the connection to the IT Crowd too! I love that show. I remember that band name being said, but I thought it was fictional. Love it! Stay awesome!

[@SoulSingerDiscovers]

Same, I absolutely thought that that band was made up when I saw this initially 😆

[@DamnDealDone]

Cradle Of Filth just keep releasing masterpiece after masterpiece. I found this album in a charity shop and bought it for the hell of it. Didn't give it much thought. It was this song that got my interest and made me spend more time with the whole album. It's a gateway song. Not even close to their best work, but a good siren song to lure the unsuspecting in. I now own everything they have released. In my top ten favourite bands. I listen to so much music that I started needing more complex and challenging music to keep me interested. They provide exactly that. My favourite album Is 'Dusk And Her Embrace'. The two considered their best by consensus are 'Midian' and 'Cruelty and the Beast'. Cruelty has the songs 'Bathory Aria' and 'Cruelty Brought Thee Orchids' which are epic songs with amazing lyrics.

[@victorlojero8318]

There is an interview with Tom Waites that was genuinely an influence for Heath Ledger's Joker.

[@SoulSingerDiscovers]

Yeah, I remember finding that out and it all instantly making sense to me 😊

[@windowsrefund]

Really appreciate your insights given this is your first listen. Great great ears!

[@MrMalchir]

Great reaction again! I was curious how you would like their music (this is one of their softer songs). I’m not a big Cradle of Filth fan but I enjoy their music. The first thing I thought when you mentioned you like the vampire / goth esthetics and sound was ‘oh she needs to check out Type O’Negative!’. Doom-death music from the early 90s all have a strong gothic vibe (Paradise Lost, Cathedral, The Gathering). If you like horror stories you want to try King Diamond (all his albums are musical horror stories).

[@SoulSingerDiscovers]

Aw I’ve got King Diamond on my list and now that you’ve said that I’m very excited 😆

[@dennypayne]

@@SoulSingerDiscovers seconded for King Diamond - "Sleepless Nights" Live is a good place to start.

[@Shagrath71]

@@SoulSingerDiscovers If you do sleepless nights be sure to do the live from the Fillmore version from 2015. King Diamond live is still amazing with him being in his mid 60's.

[@steelisreal]

Gothic Metal is definitely a thing, I had some mates who were really into it. Paradise Lost are one band I remember and Type O Negative, although honestly I always thought they had loads of punk influences in there too. The Bloody Kisses album sounded like heavy Husker Du to me.

[@SoulSingerDiscovers]

I’ve been told to listen to type o negative a few times I’ll have to check them out 👍😊

[@brasschuckles3138]

Definitely Punk influenced. If you listen to Cradles first stuff it is very Crust Punk/thrash sounding in my opinion, especially in the drums.

[@steelisreal]

@@brasschuckles3138 Cradle were never a band I paid much attention too, probably because the guys I knew who listened to them also listen to things like Deicide which I just couldn't get into. Will check out their early stuff as the punk influences in ToN really float my boat.

[@chrisjohnson1387]

If you listen to gothic rock, especially earlier stuff, it has a heavy punk influence, as the scene itself came out of post punk. It makes sense that metal bands incorporating the gothic sound would naturally have some punk influence too as a reault

[@imcrazedandconfused]

@@chrisjohnson1387 A perfect example of this is "The Damned" in the 70s. I would say they were a "gothic punk" type of their own and had a massive influence on several genres like Punk, New Wave, Gothic Rock and everything thereafter.

[@timhutchinson8485]

One of the things I love about metal is that sometimes you can find beauty and harshness blended together. Symphonic metal, symphonic black metal and gothic metal are some of the best places to find that.

[@SoulSingerDiscovers]

Truly, I think this song has some really beautiful moments which is so surprising. I’m looking forward to discovering more of the sub genre 😊

[@FuckYoutubeAndGoogle]

As a general rule, there is no such thing as Symphonic Black Metal. If you like Dimmu Borgir, and their ilk, that's your prerogative, but they are not Black Metal. Just because a generic symphonic band has tremolo picking, harsh vocals, and bad corpse paint, doesn't make them Black Metal.

[@SoulSingerDiscovers]

@@FuckKZbinAndGoogle I will remember that

[@trentoncrew3985]

This is my all time favorite song.

[@luisnabais]

I upvoted as soon as I read the "except twilight" part 🤣🤣

[@SoulSingerDiscovers]

It’s the only one that needs to go in the bin 😆

[@JeremyMiller-sn6nh]

Although not to everyone's liking. I love the complexity of Cradle's music. It is beautiful dark poetry and melodic mayhem. Dani Filth is an unbelievable lyricist and vocalist. Their music helped me through a difficult time in my youth so they will always be a part of me. \m/ 🖤💀🖤\m/

[@rofln00b]

Regarding pitch, Dani Filth actually did have some troubles with his voice a while back (like, 10+ years back, but still, after Nymphetamine, so around or after the time this song was released). But he got a dedicated vocal coach and worked on his technique and nowadays his voice, especially live, isn't exactly what it was on their first albums from around the turn of the millenium, but it's much more sustainable, and still really awesome and unique!

[@SoulSingerDiscovers]

It’s honestly amazing 😊💪

[@ParallelusReflection]

Thanks for this tidbit! I didn't know that about him. Correlates with at least two (prolly more) vocalists I respect tremendously, that made that choice for live performance, as an (intelligent) way of preserving their beautiful voices: Maynard of Tool and Mikael of Opeth. There is also, especially in the case of Mikael, a move away from the energies they worked through in cathartic ways, and felt the desire to move on to more melodic (and sometimes less aggressive, but never boring) works.

[@vavra222]

So im few seconds into the reaction and your voice almost blew my eardrums and my mind. I bet you could shatter glass effortlessly. So strong!

[@SkipFrontzJr]

The LOW parts are achieved with an octave pedal. And hearing someone talk about the nuances of Tom Waits was pretty rad!

[@gammaraider]

"It's all so both beautiful and disgusting" As a huge CoF fan for over 25 years, I think that's the best description of the experience I've ever heard.

[@prestonrodd7555]

Liv Kristine, the female singer, has been in several bands herself. At the time of this songs recording, she was in Leaves Eyes. Elegy is a song I would recommend from them. And you wouldn't be the only soul singer. Noorha from Battle Beast came from jazz and soul before discovering her metal voice while emulating Janis Joplin. For Battle Beast, I'm partial to 'No More Hollywood Endings'

CoF does have a full time female singer (Zoe Marie Federoff) Liv was a guest singer on this song. Dani uses every distortion technique he can force through his larynx 😆

[@legitwhitebelt8353]

I HIGHLY recommend checking out the album 'cruelty and the beast' and reading all the lyrics. It's about the mass murderer countess Elizabeth bathory who was a countess in eastern Europe during medieval times...and did alot of medieval shit to poor girls. It's dark and atmospheric and Elizabeth character has spoken monologues going crazy throughout the songs. Such a cool concept...the music is incredible too. Wild album

[@JeremyMiller-sn6nh]

My all time favorite CoF album,I love the complexity of that album , it is beautiful dark poetry and melodic mayhem. Dani was at his peak with that album in my opinion.

[@matthewgoodA1206]

My first experience with Cradle Of Filth came via a Goth/metal girl I used to hang out with ‘round here. We met before I moved back to the area, then continued once I found a place. One day she brought me some burned CDs, as they were still in use then. Among them was a Cradle Of Filth album, the name of which I never made note of. But I liked the tracks enough to go find my own copies. I came across a double album compilation and bought it. After some time I grew to like the first disc a lot. Because to me each track sounded like its own little horror movie, and I used to be big into those. I also have some background in both metal and Goth, so I suppose all of that set me up nicely to enjoy their brand of Gothic-style extreme metal. Though this tune is more like a radio-friendly version of their songwriting. That said, it’s a great and sensible intro to the band before you might sample some of their more hardcore material. Either way they have lots of strong, heavy compositions to choose from. Other groups I would recommend would be Norway’s Dimmu Borgir, black metal with actual orchestral parts, harsh vocals plus clean singing; and New York’s Type O Negative, heavy Gothic/doom metal with especially low male lead vocals. I would consider these some of the top acts in their different sub-genres.

[@johncassinari9175]

This was a brave choice. And you handled it like a pro. I first saw COF at an Ozzfest about 20 years ago and was instantly hooked. Great reaction!

There's 3 versions of this song. This one is "fix" featuring a well known European opera singer(I forgot her name), the "Sara jezebel Deva fix"(who was theor actual recording/touring back up vocalist at the time, and "overdose". You need to listen to the overdose version.

I’m not into the vampire movies much but the Underworld series are quite excellent. One of my favorite Spookie / Creepy movies from my youth was Prince of Darkness. Alice Cooper even played a character in it. It’s not action packed, more of a slower and building movie but it’s one of the few I enjoyed.

LOL. Richmond is great! I laughed creepily when he gave that CD. Cradle of Filth has a lot you can discover, especially if you pay attention to those lyrics.

[@1chuck23]

Your reaction review is awesome! I could listen to you talk all day. I like that, coming from a very different musical discipline, you can appreciate the wonderful musical quality that COF belches out with poetic harmony. It actually takes a musician to appreciate a band like this. My parents are not musically inclined and broke my COF CD when I was in highschool, which just made me wanna listen to it even more. They have like 3 or so albums that tell an elaborate story about the countess Elizbet Bathory who allegedly bathed in virgin blood and embraces this as truth, although it was a bunch of misogynistic Aristocrats that made false accusations because they didn't like a woman having that much power in Bulgaria, as she came into it due to the death of her husband. You'd love the lyrics from those albums, and the transitions are astounding

This comment was CENSORED by YT(!), so another take... You want to know what genre they are? Nowadays, I would say it is goth metal, but for sure they come from a very own version of black metal. Very well-made extreme metal right from the start. The lyrics of Dani Filth are always extraordinarily well-made, unique. He called the genre "vampire metal" in the beginning, if you want to know what they come from, you might watch one of the probably most notoriously shocking music videos of the 90s in the uncensored version. (The one with the introduction of Dany Filth in the beginning, where he fantasizes about killing the pope and explains that they used nearly 100 gallons of blood for the video and have all the bells and whistles for an offending video, like ... yepp ...): Cradle of Filth: From the Cradle to Enslave kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5_FgJuJfLuViMk I guarantee you, after watching this video, you will never see a violin the same way as before. (People who watched it will instantly know what I mean!) Honestly, this is one of the best and most disturbing metal videos of all times, and it instantly made me a fan of them. They deserve a deeper look into their early work. They were always excellent.

Awrite, I know I'm late to the party but I'm delighted to have discovered this channel and that you've discovered CoF. If you're curious about their old school sound, I'd recommend "Cruelty Brought Thee Orchids" or "Bathory Aria". Though, to be honest, I'd absolutely love seeing you react to Rainer Landfermann ("Langsam, hinter's Licht"), especially if you’re up for something a bit unsettling and a bit of an assault on the senses. And I’d provide you with translations of the lyrics! That said, when you mentioned wanting to be able to do extreme metal vocals I immediately imagined you adding them to "I Never" or "Break of the Dawn" and I cannot decide if that would be hilarious or atrocious.

What metal has always done better than most other genres of music is it's ability to mix harsh and beautiful.

There is a video from last year, where he visits the University of Utah Center of Vocology - they stuck a camera down his throat and see what's happening when he uses different vocal techniques.(it's gross, but fascinating) ..but yeah, listen to their songs first. I recommend To the Hellfire.

[@MetalMF0508]

I’d recommend trying out “archives of an enchanted philosophy” by “Bishop Of Hexen” it’s a concept album based on story the band made up, and lyrically each song continues the previous, overall it was masterfully written and it is also surprisingly lesser known, it’s from the late 90’s so I presume they were overshadowed by the likes of great bands like cradle of filth and dimmu borgir, anyway, If you do check ‘em out hope you enjoy

[@andyventures6574]

And another check for you (forgive me if you have already ) as a gothic horror fan , King Diamond is a must listen. Most of his solo albums are horror novels , and his vocal style is ...unique . (And an inspiration to Dani filth). Abigail is the one to get first .

[@SoulSingerDiscovers]

I’m recording King Diamond this week. So excited m, such a huge horror fan. Thanks for watching Andy 😊💪

[@andyventures6574]

@@SoulSingerDiscovers Oh enjoy . Although I've never stopped getting into new bands and styles through the years, I'm an 80s kid at heart still and I listened to king and bought several albums of his back in the day .

[@MetalBere]

Nice reaction and vocals

[@SoulSingerDiscovers]

Thank you for watching my dude! 😊

[@ReinventingTheSteve]

If you want to check out some extreme brutal vocals check out "Destructo" by "Hunt the dinosaur"

[@kellyfender1671]

the female is this video is the singer from Leaves' Eyes

[@AvB.83]

Not exactly a fan of Cradle of flith, but this song was just perfect... the contrast between the two vocalists ❤ And while they're probably never going to outdo themselves in this regard, I'm very much looking forward to the song they're doing with, of all people, Ed Sheeran 😁

[@SoulSingerDiscovers]

Holy Christ! I did not know that was happening?! Surely that’s not real? I’m not gonna lie I don’t really enjoy ed sheerans music but that would certainly be interesting 🤨 this is a great song 🥰

[@vovindequasahi]

Cradle of Filth RULES! I would NEVER call Cradle of Filth goth. They are more thrashy symphonic metal with a tinge of black metal nowadays. Their earlier stuff were vicious black metal with symphonic elements. Always absolutely AWESOME though!

[@SoulSingerDiscovers]

Yeah I super enjoyed it! I think it’s actually really beautiful which surprised me 😊 thanks for the comment Richard 🌸

[@derekk8523]

Lorna shore- to the hellfire to dive deep deep deep into metal. It will change your life

[@maximeamblardbergeron7823]

Thank you for your analysis. Nymphetamine is a good song, but Born in a burial gown or Her ghost in the fog might show more is vocal range is you are interested to dig more in it.

[@SoulSingerDiscovers]

I am absolutely interested in taking on more thank you so much for the recommendation 😊

[@maximeamblardbergeron7823]

It is my pleasure!! @@SoulSingerDiscovers

[@massimoricciardi6202]

I seen Dani in person man is he ever short.

[@Necromanticfantasy]

They have some concept albums. Their best album imo is cruelty and the beast.

[@bafumat]

Thanks for ripping it on the mic. I don't need these headphones anyhow.

[@SoulSingerDiscovers]

Sorry. I am partially deaf in one ear so sometimes the mixing of my videos is off. I’m trying to get better but I am at an obv disadvantage. 😣

[@bafumat]

@@SoulSingerDiscovers you still get the like... Just maybe back off a bit on the high notes in mic.

[@123slowdown]

I would have you down as a metal singer for sure. You smash those high notes. Doom metal, like early Candlemass. Their first album is bloody fantastic. Nightfall and Ancient Dreams also get the chef's kiss. I've seen COF many times. At least 4 times since 1995. Sarah Jezebel Deva is most frequent female singer. Unfortunately, not with Liv Kristine, who is in this video. Each live show was a progression. They wanted to get bigger and better at what they did. As an interesting side note, CoF was respected as a highly influential band in the underground in the early days. Dani has said many times they're metal with goth entanglements. People have taken them out of context, calling them a kiddy goth band, but they're not. The twin guitar leads are something from the old days, Thin Lizzy did a lot of this, and COF has continued on with it. They're really great at it. Thank you for making the video. Metal can be overwhelming. Nice to see you digging deep into it. Until next time, keep on burping 🙂

[@SoulSingerDiscovers]

Thank you my dude! It has been a real eye opener and I don’t think I’ve even scratched the surface yet! A lot of folks have been giving some amazing tidbits of info like yourself which has also been fantastic. I will keep on burping!! 😂😊💪

[@silafuyang8675]

Every COF song is high drama.

[@SoulSingerDiscovers]

I love it 😻

[@mikestelzer2027]

You should watch the videos for -death of love- heartbreak and seance- as well

[@C.Comeaux]

So to answer your question about the relation between goths and metalheads. Keep in mind I'm talking about the waaaay-back days, so like the 80s, when I was in high school. (I'm old.) And I can only speak to the US. I'd say in the beginning we were natural enemies. I was the goth kid listening to mostly British post-punk stuff, and I hated any metal I heard. I wanted my melancholy melodies, minor keys, and sad poetic lyrics. Then again, the metal I was exposed to was pretty universally bad: mostly hair metal. I didn't start giving metal a chance until the end of my college days when my friends played the Black album, and I made a deep dive into Metallica's back catalog and became a big fan. But that was it for me--until Tool. Basically, up until recently, I liked a lot of hard-edged alternative that verged onto metal (like Disturbed), but few actual metal bands besides Tool and Metallica. Then I married a metalhead. And I was STILL resistant. Then I discovered Nightwish. I think the bottom line is that the crossover is MUCH bigger between the goths and metalheads nowadays, partly because there are now a LOT of bands that fall somewhere between. And both my husband and I were a little "too cool for school" back in the day and so resisted music that was different than what we liked. But he's helping me learn to like Black Sabbath and Judas Priest and a few other bands. And he's getting into Tool. You learn to like more stuff as you get older. So a marriage that was a divided house can stand. As long as you give the other's music a chance.

[@SoulSingerDiscovers]

Thank you so much for this Carmen! It’s really great to get these insights into the reasons behind some of the things that happened in all these little sun cultures! Sure I could read what Google thinks but there’s something really cool about hearing it from people who really care about the music! Thank you 😊❤️

[@brasschuckles3138]

Cradle of Filths album Cruelty and the Beast needs a listen to all the way through!! It’s an amazing concept album and every song compliments the next. Please give it listen to❤️❤️🤘🤘

[@SoulSingerDiscovers]

Will do my dude! 😊🌸

[@andyventures6574]

More black metal than goth .... And Dani is a stunningly good lyricist . And as per my comment under the GLS vid , Dimmu Borgir live forces of the northern light will be a good place to go. And the actor who played Raymond is a CoF fan btw .

[@SoulSingerDiscovers]

His lyrics really blew me away. Incredibly good 🤯
