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
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.
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.
Dude ive been a fan for 20 years and I still occasionally find songs or versions of them for the first time. They have always kicked ass and Dani Filth is the motherfucking man. Multiple lineup changes but still have mad respect to play the last man that was ups riffs and create their own. Splendid
Yes, it is their best song. And it always will be since they don't play this way anymore. I claimed this as my favorite Cradle song 18 years ago when I was in high school, and, it still is. Always will be.
some early stuff was only marketed i England, i paid a good penny to have "vempyre" and "the principle of evi"l shiped to me, when i got them my family was pissd off, bc i blasted that for weeks
the best song from cradle ,im not a Big fan but Heard few albums this one was the first in 1997 i was 17, they have lots of songs that i liked ,this IS the only album i have i really enjoy 4 songs hail to the drummer oh yeah vocals clean ,guitars perfect ,absolutely clean sound
The song that brought me into Metal as a kid. I had 11 years when I listened to this. Even now that CoF is shit (imo), I still have to thank them and pay them a visit every now and then, for all their albums up until Nymphetamine are masterpieces. I'll respect them forever, thank you Dani!
All bands change. Cof are still amazing in my opinion. Try their new stuff without comparing to the old, its still powferful, black and gothic, albeit a new sound. This is raw and yes they dont sound like this which is a shame but there are new songs that still kick as much power as this.
I saw Cradle's live last Friday here near Milan and unfortunately they did't this masterpiece and many of their istorical traks...it was anyway a beautiful live with a great Dani but whitout Queen of Winter, Throned it's not the same...
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.
this was around cradles prime. uptill midian, altho damnation is my fav album, due to musical maturity and of course the epicsubject matter based off paradise lost ibelieve it was
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.
at one point in 1998 my younger brother said to me, "man I like everything you play for me, except that cradle of filth shit". we went to a show together, a year or so later and he became a bigger fan then me :D
V Empire is a very underrated album/EP and this song is a proof of it. Dani's vocals are brutal and filthy as ever and the songs are fucking brutal as this one. Ten minutes of pure fucking brutal gothic rape to our ears.
Cradle did start out as Death Metal and then went to the more Black/gothic metal. So Violently Sick is my favorite Cradle death metal track from their demos. Check it out
hansbananendans ok. seen live in 2001. dani was wearing these massive platform boots. they had a cat walk with stairs leading up to it. atleast 4 times, Dani performed huge howling screams and then would run full speed up the stairs with his boots on and would get to the top snd scream again. the whole time I'm thinking, "This guy definitely doesn't smoke. Fuck, how could he?" you're so right. so much energy
It's honestly both of them that make this song. The drums and vocals are both intense. The way they come together at the end before the female chants is magical.
These might be Dani’s craziest vocals ever. Absolutely insane at some parts
I know right
It's sick!
Fucking awesome vocals, raw as hell and precise as he is a machine.
This song will never get old !!!
true
I first heard this back in 1996, when it was released, and i think it is still the best COF song ever.
Old CoF does kick!!!
Ramen 🙏
RIP stuart anstis. Thanks for playing on those first few cradle albums.
Rest In Peace, Stuart Anstis 😔😭🎸
Damn, godspeed you badass
I am so thankful for internet where i can be with fellow appreciaters of dark music. so few of us, yet so many
А слушать такую музыку-встать на сторону сатаны?)
This is as dark and beautiful as it gets

7:08 My favorite drum fill of all time...Barker was a BEAST!
Nick is often so unpredictable, such a versatility, such a stylish mofo... Nick is the best thing that has ever happened to metal!
Mine also!!!!!!!!!!
@@Ballad2Grave What about Stuart Anstis?
When Barker left a huge part of this band ceased to exist.
@@eddiemperor Yep. Barker and Dani are Cradle. You only have half of the band now. That's why they're wack now.
This whole album is pure gold, from every note, every vocal, and every lyric. Two decades later and it all still gives me chills.
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
Phil Böhm the man is basically Metal’s Shakespeare, such a legendary writer!
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.
It's a lot of nonsense shits kkkk
true, his lyrics are very Romantic in this sense

I don't always listen to this song, but when I do, so do my neighbors.
I remember in high school my headphones got unplugged during the part with the crows, right in the middle of class, weirded everyone out lol
At least it didn’t happen at the part with the moaning lady. Lol
Lol

I have been a fan of this band for more than 3 years and I am hearing this song just now.

the song was released in 1996 i think
You've solved metal when you've constructed lyrics this epic
This is the ultimate. Fuckin epic.
Maybe the best piece of music they ever created so far...
The quickest 10 min you'll ever experience, beside a liverpool match
These lyrics are phenomenal
Masterpiece..
this is where they peaked, this stuff was actually amazing, nothing quite like this was ever made since
True, the EP V Empire is probably their best work and with the best line-up.
need a fucking thesaurus to understand half this song! ! have loved early cof since '96 Vempire is the best work they ever did.
I love this song so much, I got the intro tattooed on my thigh.
Best COF song. So dark and seductive.
Lexington Deville84
a massacre on the drum kit too, little dove ;)
GrayCat Add in the really dark atmosphere and you have a classic 😎
Yes, it is their best song. And it always will be since they don't play this way anymore. I claimed this as my favorite Cradle song 18 years ago when I was in high school, and, it still is. Always will be.
Vale la pena cada minuto de esta rola.
Who, in 2018, still thinks that this is one of the greatest masterpieces ever made in metal history ?
Still think it in 2022
in 2023 too @@martintrorey5901
I Love It One of Best COF Songs! This Song is Brutal & Deep Dark Black Metal Not Old Song!
BEST SONG EVER!! BEST BAND IN THE WORLD!!
2024 and I still keep coming back here
i play this song every winter
since 15 years ago
It took me years to realize all the male vocals were done by Dani. Always thought there were two male vocals
The pinhead actor did some parts in midian.
@@XXpassegeofsighs Cronos did some vocals on Dusk and Principle
The best song by COF. Nicholas Barker's work is amazing and brilliant as always.
The lyriiiiiics . I’ve met dani twice he’s a majestic presence
last time i heard this was back in 1997 wow what a wild time i had 😅🎉❤
it's about 5 years, that i'm listening CoF with passion, and why i have discovered this song only now?
+gianmarco zanetti Could be because you only just started learning English.
some early stuff was only marketed i England, i paid a good penny to have "vempyre" and "the principle of evi"l shiped to me, when i got them my family was pissd off, bc i blasted that for weeks
gianmarco zanetti
because you're a robot from the future? sent back in time before cradle was a band to kill Sarah CANNAH
Because you're not listening to them with passion. 5 years? 5 years of passionate Metallica-listening without hearing Master of Puppets.
05:13~05:28 part is So Brutal and Very Sick For Me!
one of the very, very best CoF songs!! And one of the best Dani voice expression!
09:34 ....One of the best melodies I have ever heard in my entire life..Wish it was a song
the best song from cradle ,im not a Big fan but Heard few albums this one was the first in 1997 i was 17, they have lots of songs that i liked ,this IS the only album i have i really enjoy 4 songs hail to the drummer oh yeah vocals clean ,guitars perfect ,absolutely clean sound
WE ALL MISS THE OLD CRADLE
Try the song at .75x speed. It makes you appreciate how good the composition is
My favorite cradle song
What an amazing epic through the dark winter night.
I never ceased to be amazed by the amount of ...noises! Dani can make. It's so cool. I wish I could do that!
The song that brought me into Metal as a kid. I had 11 years when I listened to this. Even now that CoF is shit (imo), I still have to thank them and pay them a visit every now and then, for all their albums up until Nymphetamine are masterpieces. I'll respect them forever, thank you Dani!
Me too, though for me their last good album was Cruelty and the Beast. But yeah, now and then I want to feel the nostalgie
+DarkflameAxel I know your feeling man.
@@arconada last good album was cruelty and the beast? whatd that come out in 1997? youre no fan.

BEAUTIFULL!!!!!!!!!!!!
Absolute Clinic from Nick Barker on this track. This is what metal drums should be.
Evan a man is pure of heart
2:32 is so violent and visceral with the vocals, I love it.
This song is simply amazing, the best by far!
7:05 is so amazing part _\m/

One does not simply genre-label CoF
JDK Parker
yes!
100%
Yes we do, it's called "Metal".
If it aint metal, it aint hard. (thats why its called metal, fk new age genre"
I label them Epic-Metal ... they're also the only ones in that genre..

love the Wolfman quite at the start :)
They should get a Nobel's price from hell,for this lyrics.And 666 litters with blood.
best song ever!!!!!
Haven't listened to this fucking ages, brings many memories
A Masterpiece
Una de las mejores rolas de COF.
I love the intro poem from the Wolfman
Aaaaooowww 🐺🖤
I still laugh at the intro. "and the winter moon is briiiiiiiiiggghhhtt"
faboulus!! amazing piece of music and that ending is orgasmic!!
A hymn!
This final outro is just awesome
Actually correct chorus lyrics on this one. thanks a lot
9:35 best part!
this was around cradles prime. uptill midian, altho damnation is my fav album, due to musical maturity and of course the epicsubject matter based off paradise lost ibelieve it was
That fuckin' blastbeat OMG
Great song based on a great book!
lunchboxwhmpa
which book there friend?
Last riff is the best
hahahaha! at 1:01, dogs barking outside immediately! Guess I hear it to loud!!
If you can still hear the dogs barking, it's not loud enough!
It's BARKer that's barking
lets be real. 0:45 to 1:01 is a sick intro
good old Cradle of Filth \m/
such a bad ass fucking song
So sad Danny could never again make a song like this....
Thomas Renault
Lustmord and Wargasm on cruelty is on par with this IMO and Haunted Shores from Dusk is as well.
god damn that's good.
The lyrical passages are great. Not as violent as those on Midian, but still, splendid in the dark elements they portray.
Killer song
If we send this song to space, aliens will come to earth just to check it live!

They haven't released a song to date that beats this song
Tortured soul Asylum is close to this one... Epic song with epic ending as well!
