Also fun fact the vocals in the begging are Doug Bradley ( pinhead ) from hellraiser

It’s a shame that some people can’t deal with Dani’s tone. His lyricism is above and beyond almost anyone in metal but you have to dig to appreciate it.

Dani Filth once said "We make fairytales for adults." I think he describes it very good. About his vocals: You definately hear he had a complete opera education.

If you truly want to hear Cradle's Bohemian Rhapsody, search for Bathory Aria. 11 minutes plus of absolute epicness.

Listen to "tearing the veil of grace". My favorite cradle song.

The imagery in his poetry is just insane, he's up there with the greaters storytellers of music in general. Nice to re-listen to this classic, it's been a while since the last time I listen to a COF's song, and now I'm thinking I'm stupid, how could I? Anyway, you both are great, really good and funny imputs all along. From a brazilian friend ✌

Shame that this is an edited version of the song. The ending is cut off.

Dani’s Shakespearean prose can be a bit hard to swallow for many, at least at first. But lyricism is inarguably one their greatest strengths. The guy at the beginning is literally doing a Shakespearean “Preamble”, btw.

Yes, Dani's poetry precisely fits the therm "gothic" ) Now imagine how to read it being non a native english speaker )

For sure the full song completes the song. he show cases his long screams( howling wolf scream) guitars more melodic and piano playing with the drums. I would give it a listen, it changed my perspective of the song. Also the beginning voice is pinhead from hellraiser!!!!!

You guys are awesome. Thank you for making great content/commentary. This has been a tough year for me in alot of ways and you guys have helped me get through it. Still SO underrated. You guys should and will have a larger following.

This has always been a favorite of mine. It's such a sad and brutal story.

A gothic romance is another highly recommended but their music is all decent Doug Bradley (Hellraiser) did some voice work on this album Dani is the best vocalist with changes id like to see you react to Born in a burial gown , Cradle to enslave , etc

Dani Filth is a hell of a lyricist and he does his homework ......look into cruelty brought thee orchids

I've seen and met COF at least 4 times. Great shows, Dani has a superior range, and in person he is super cool. The ultimate showmanship.

One of the things I really appreciate about this song is the song structure how it can tell the story along with conveying the main characters emotions

I love dani's voice have forever.. Its one of those you love it or hate it things i guess... Kindof like KING DIAMOND .. Hopefully you do TWILIGHT SYMPHONY by K.D. But also the musical help the songs i believe if you go along with the lyrics its like sections of a play and different musical scores in a play...

My god CoF is so good at creating poetry with their lyrics just reading their songs is so complex and gorgeous.

Someone else mentioned King Diamond. Listen to how he uses his voice to portray various characters as he tells a story, going from deep to high pitched.

This is proper old cradle, easily their greatest era imo. You guys would like From The Cradle to Enslave

Scorched earth erotica by Cradle of filth (uncesored version) really cool song

Wow this brings me back. Great song, can't wait to see you two react to this!!! :)

Just so very happy that you quickly got to this one. You’re on the right track,

I love love LOVE your eye makeup!

"Radio play", that's funny! Dani is one of the best lyricist in metal. He growls, shrieks, sings clean and dirty. Few have his range. Ive been a fan since '95, and many of their songs are on my playlist. Absinthe and Faust is one of my favorites. Thanks for reacting to these guys, its been a treat!

Awesome! Another great song off this album is Tortured Soul Asylum, it’s so epic!

Cradle of Filth is what got me into black metal like 18 years ago, Her Ghost In The Fog is one of my favorites from them :)

You should check out Devilment Sanity hits a (perfect) Zero, Imagine a more traditional metal song with Dani Fitlhs vocals. Also, highly recommend the whole album Damnation and a Day, that whole album is a complete story in CoF form.

Yeah, Dani would be right at home with the most beautiful of Gothic poets. He is a true wordsmith almost beyond compare.

josh was saying in the previous video he wanted heavier cradles songs so id like to suggest from cradle to enslaved which is an earlier one (their demos are really heavy) and foetus of a new day kicking!

Danni uses 3 vocal types snd his lyrics are very complex. For more subtle stuff check out his other band Devilment

The actor at the beginning sitting in the forest is David McEwen..but as stated earlier it's Doug Bradley who does the voice over, Mr McEwen plays the character Kemper in the film 'Cradle of Fear' along side Dani Filth..really good cheesy horror check it out.

Might I suggest a comparison reaction? I suggest listening to Iron Maiden's version of Hallowed Be Thy Name. Then, immediatly after that I suggest the Cradle of Filth version of the same song. Both will blow you away. Me personal preference is the Cradle version.

People will say many things about Dani but one thing he definitely is, he's a lyricist. The man can write poems, stories and just wild lyrics. He has a gift for it

nynphetamine fix was pretty much a ballad for them,for me their best albums are the 1st 3,they were almost black metal.

I'm kind of in both of your worlds. This is one of my favorites for this band and what poetry!

Being a poet myself, I can really appreciate Dani's lyricism and approach

I had heard a few years back that the person who reads the poetry for cradle of filth is the same guy who played pin head from hell raiser.

A lot of their songs are basically stories, listen to cruelty and the beast, and Godspeed on the devil’s thunder those are story based on real serial killers. Gilles de rais and Elizabeth Bathory. Her ghost in the fog has a story in it as well. Also the guy who voiced in the beginning is the same person who played pinhead from hell raiser!

No one sounds like Dani, that shriek is very unique. My fav song of theirs is English Fire. This is probably the first one I heard back in the day

Their new stuff is good too, for example try darkest magick in practice :)

I felt the same when I got into Cradle. I felt I missed out not being in to them as a teenager. I would have had so much fun with this.

"....and this I screamed: COME BACK TO ME! For I was born in love with thee, so why should fate stand in-BETWEEN!" THIS IS THE BEST LINE EVER

Cradle of filth lyrics are probably about the most amazing lyrics of any band.. I love that you read the lyrics at the end

I have been listening Cradle Of Filth for over 13 years. Along with Dimmu Borgir. I love them. There's nothing spooky about it for me. It's part of my psyche. But especially the text of "HER GHOST IN THE FOG " for me is INCREDIBLE. Very, very strong and deep. Just an amazing dark romance. It's hard to grasp that there's actually a romance underneath it all. But it is what it is.

That's the point of Danis scream. He's attempting to mimic a Banshee which in celtic lore is a sign of bad omen or death. That's also what bagpipes are supposed to mimic. A screaming Banshee

It would be awesome to devote a day of the week to do a new cradle song. They have an insane amount of great songs. I would highly recommend “Bathory Aria” off of Cruelty and the Beast.

The female singer is Sarah Jezebel Deva...she was with COF for awhile but left and made a solo career. She has many good songs as well solo.

Thought of a great video for your Halloween videos. White chapel - when a demon defiles a witch

If you are looking for a good vocal contrast, may I suggest the band Amorphis song "Amongst Stars featuring Anneke van Gierbergen" also if you're liking Cradle, you might want to look into Dimmu Borgir.

Dani does both of those screams at the same time it's crazy.

Dusk and Her Embrace was my ring tone for years.

I love Cradle Of Filth I've been trying to hit Dani's banshee and whistle tone screams for years I just can't get it

Every person on the internet would keep suggesting the older Cradle of Filth so, even though Bathory aria is a highly favorite among the fans, I want to suggest Yours immortally from the Hammer of the witches album

I don't think I wrong in saying this but Dani took a break from studying English literature to start a band. And is still in that Band. Hence why his Lyrics are the way they are.

...and the vocals if you read them are like Shakespeare on cocaine. Just beautiful.

Dusk and her embrace TOP song

I have loved their music since the 90s. I think it was The forest whispers my name that was my introduction to them. Cruelty and the Beast and Midian are masterpieces.

CRADLE OF FILTH- TEMPTATION and C.O.F- BATHORY ARIA are great also

Thank god for the suffering is another good Cradle of filth song. Also, check out Holy roller by Spiritbox

You perfectly described Dani's vocals. First, unusual style and voice in general, and he doesn't follow the song structure. Their discography is massive, and I mean, their discography (without counting compilations lives etc. Only original songs/full lenghts) is one of the biggest in metal scene. And they obviously changed their sound a bit couple times. From more raw, to more gothic to more riff-based and aggresive (current sound). So it really takes some time to really appreciate what they have to offer, and even after two or five songs it's hard to grasp all of it. But in general, Dani always had a very chaotic style, I almost feel like he is improvising A LOT of parts in the songs. From the style he uses (narrating, high pitch screamig, growling, whispering etc.) to pronunciation. So I also get why a lot of people can't get into band (and because of some '""controversies""" related to Dani, basically people think he is a prick, but that's where you separate artist from the art) and the vocals in this song were not even CLOSE to his more extreme and chaotic performances. A lot of their songs/albums are more intensive than that too. So, it is a strange and really big band. Also the book idea is fantastic! Even some haters appreciate the lyrics, which says a lot!

The guy giving the speech at the start is the guy from hellraiser...

I love Cradle Of Filth Dani's vocals are insane Funeral In Carpathia is an awesome song as well but I love all their songs

funnily enough Dani Filth has a book of poetry that friends of his have been telling him to publish for years, which in interviews last year he said he's pretty close to finishing, so you can have a book fo Cradle of Filht poetry soon :)

Fun note - the guy speaking the intro in the beginning is none other than Doug Bradley from "HellRaiser"

So guys if you haven't been into lyrics yet , this is one of the saddest stories....Love, jealousy, rape, murder, revenge...it has it all!!! Dani is a brilliant story teller!

Honestly one of my favorite Cradle of Filth songs is 'Cemetary and Sundown'. That and 'Fetus of A New Day Kicking'

DANZIG- POSSESSION DANZIG- EVIL THING

Would you guys do reviews of Witch House music?

Listening to Filth without a lyric sheet is criminal. He is probably the best lyricist going.

That guy in the beginning is probably a giant with the hell raiser voice.

This song is slightly based off of a poem by Lord Byron or is inspired by a poem

This lovely girl must listen to my dying bride before the end of the world. Something from the album the angel and the dark river

You guys should try "Gothic Romance(Red Roses for the Devil's Whore)" and/or "Beneath the Howling Star" by Cradle of Filth.

Recommend: Venom, Mercyful Fate, Darkthrone, Gorgoroth, Mayhem (Most infamous Black Metal band ever), Emperor, Immortal, & Carach Angren (My newest addiction).

My favorit is Dusk And Her Embrace

Queen of Winter, Throned and Nocturnal Supremacy please! Gian Pyres was the best guitarist they ever had too, what a composer.

Would be very interested in your take on Gorgoroth carving a giant.

Please you need to do cradle of filth the death of love !

You guys should react to Bathory Aria and to the music video Born in A Burial Gown. Both are by Cradle

Do Promise of Fever next. Or Principle of Evil made Flesh. They are my favorite COF songs.

Love that reaction guys :) If you want more epic story telling song by COF then listen 1.Bathory Aria (Remixed and Remastered) 2.A Gothic Romance And for very beautiful performance check Cradle of Filth-Malice Through the Looking Glass live 97

If you want to review any Thrash bands, my current 2 favorite Thrash bands are Warbringer and Havok. Check out anything of theirs.

you guys def need to check our Scorched Earth Erotica by COF

Love your eye make up good one to do if you could do the misfits scream it perfect for Halloween thanks

What happened to the rest of the song?

Cradle has a very theatrical approach to their music.

You guys have to check out the lyric videos for Dusk and her Embrace and Bathory Aria. On a side note. I like how you guys mentioned that you thought he sounded like a banshee. On the spectrum of black metal and Deathcore vocalists, I've heard Goblin voices, his Banshee voice, but would love for you to check out this new band Monochromatic Black-Abaddon Monochromatic Black-Warmth of the Sun They have a female vocalist. She has unbelievably deep growls, and I have described her high scream as that of a wraith in other reactions. She almost gets as high as the wraiths on Lord of the Rings. Unreal vocal range.

I love Dani's voice even when he got older.

Please, react to Cradle of Filth - Born in a burial gown. And more important to Sylosis - To Build a tomb. Greetings from Argentina.

I've never really quite gotten the hate for Dani's vocals, because they might legit be one of my favourite parts of the band. I love his banshee shrieks and wails. They're just so perfect for the band, and his poetic lyrics are amazing.

That is doug bradley aka "pin head" in the intro

Y'all should react to Cruelty Brought Thee Orchids!

If you want a couple of bands to checkout from New Zealand checkout 8Foot Sativa and Alien Weaponry

A tragic tale with a vengeance! CoF never fails.

Cradle of Filth made me the man I am. I have been to more CoF shows than movies.

Check out the Rape and Ruin of Angels off of vempyr by cradle of filth. By far Dani's most impressive vocal performance.

Exodus released a new album…Thrash…Cradle of Filth, Black Goddess good reaction material…

Not to forget the lovely Voice of Sarah Jezebel Deva !!!!

This. Is. It. Here we go. I'm playing a rea k shun. To ghost in. The fog. Before I go too sleep here we go Kasey Leigh Kelly
