I saw Cradle of Filth back in December on the Headbanger's Ball tour. It was sooo lame.
It was discouraging to see 13 and 14 year old kids there in "corpse paint" with their parents waiting outside worried sick.
The show itself was horrible, Dani adopted some kind of half hardcore-yell half scream which was really annoying. . And he also requested that ladies throw their bras on stage. Give me a break. Also Sarah Jezebel's voice was OFF KEY the entire time. It sounded horrible.
Cradle Of Filth is nothing more than a mockery of what they used to be back in the "Dusk.. And Her Embrace" days.
Also, NONE of them reference Cthulhu enough! Cthulhu referencing is the new standard by which I judge bands.
As for this comment, I liked Cthuhlu Dawn OK, but Mother Of Abominations is just silly. Being a Lovecraft FANATIC myself (I have a Lovecraftian tattoo, and it's only the first one of entire sleeves when I get the money) it saddens me to see his work butchered by lyrics such as..
Mother of abomoinations
Our Lady Overkill
Smothering the congregationg
Grips the cosmic wheel
A lover of acceleration
No mercy nor breaks applied
I see dead stars collide
In Her cold unflinching powerslideComparing ancient slumbering Gods from beyond the stars to. . to. . cars? And since when is Cthulhu a female? It must be that I-want-to-fuck-everything syndrome Dani has.
