Cradle Of Filth

Cradle of Filth is a British extreme metal band formed in 1991 in Suffolk, England. Originally rooted in black metal, their sound evolved to incorporate gothic, symphonic, and extreme metal elements, creating a uniquely theatrical and dark aesthetic. Led by vocalist Dani Filth, the band is known for its elaborate lyrics, horror-inspired themes, and dramatic compositions. Albums like Dusk... and Her Embrace (1996) and Cruelty and the Beast (1998) cemented their status in the metal scene. With their blend of haunting melodies, symphonic orchestration, and blistering intensity, Cradle of Filth has remained a pioneering force in extreme and gothic metal.
