1232.0. "Cradle of Filth.... awesome!" by KAOFS::C_MENENDEZ (CARLOS, SOO ONT MCS (705)945-7862) Mon May 12 1997 10:04

    	Cradle of filth.....
    
    	The name says it all. Check this out for some odd (but fantastic)
    Black Metal. This is NOT Opeth or stuff like that. This guy Dani (the
    singer) can scare some people with the screams he has recorded, but the
    music is just awesome.
    
    	I heard a song by COF when I bought my first Relapse "Death is the
    beginning III" compilation, and immediately was struck by the different
    sound these guys create.
    
    	But beware!! Covers on these CDs are not for kids under 18 or guys
    that san take their stuff at face value. This is classified as vampiric
    operatic black metal, but there are women in the covers of both CDs I
    bought that show more flesh than usual.
    
    	And finally, I got the first 2 CDs (The principle of evil made
    flesh, and VEMPIRE) from Century Media in 4 days!! And the price was
    really really good.
    
    	Enjoy

1232.1you can have CoF! Me no likey this band/singerSUBSYS::MSOUCYMentalmETALMikeMon May 12 1997 11:2111
    
    Carlos,
    
    I can't STAND that singer! His high pitched screaming/(or is it
    whining!) ;-) does nothing for me. It sounded good in the beginning of
    the song but once Dani started his ranting I said "Next!". And this is
    from Dijtb...III also. Don't care for 'em. Not my cup of tea as it is.
    I wanna hear Septic Flesh, Winter, Mortiis, and maybe Dimmi Borjor(sp)
    for some death/doom/black metal.
    
    
1232.2Clean sounding CD, thoughKAOFS::C_MENENDEZCARLOS, SOO ONT MCS (705)945-7862Mon May 12 1997 12:2616
    	Mike:
    
    	I don't mind Doni's vocals (I think that's the singer's name). What
    I liked was the absolutely awesome sound on the CD. On some of these
    black metal CDs the sound is usually lacking punch, but not on this CD.
    I don't know too much about recording or what exactly a producer does,
    but I found the sound very clean, which is nice because you can play it
    very loud without obvious distortion. In contrast, the Ulver CD I got
    has some severe distortion on the guitars, I'm sure by design.
    
    	I loved the covers, though. I like these type of covers better than
    the usual DM cover, although this could be quite offensive for some
    people. I try to keep an open mind on what these people try to bring
    across without letting it  get to me.

1232.3'vocals' are a problem for meAXPLAB::VLASIUSorin Vlasiu - Brussels, BelgiumTue May 13 1997 04:524
    I have also tried to listen CoF once, but the 'vocals' (screaming) are
    too much for me. However I remember the instrumental part was better.

1232.4Try the second oneKAOFS::C_MENENDEZCARLOS, SOO ONT MCS (705)945-7862Tue May 13 1997 11:125
    	If you didn't like the vocals on the first one, then give Vempire
    a try. There is a lot more guttural stuff there. but the music IMO is
    awesome.
