Cradle Of Filth

About

Extreme Metal band from Ipswich, Suffolk, England. Cradle of Filth was founded in 1991 as a death metal act, however quickly transitioned to being a second-wave black metal band by the release of their debut album. Since then, the band's musical style has gradually evolved to encompass a wide variety of influences including death, black, gothic and heavy metal. The band's lyrics and imagery are heavily influenced by Gothic literature, mythology, occultism, and horror films and have both drawn a fair amount of controversy over the course of their career. The exact sub-genre the band plays is difficult to classify and is often a subject of debate. The band has gone through several line-up changes throughout the years and as of 2014 frontman Dani Filth is the only remaining founding member, as well as the only member to stay in the band since its inception. Current line-up: Dani Filth (Daniel Lloyd Davey) - Vocals (1991 – ) Marthus (Martin Škaroupka) – Drums, keyboard (2006 – ) Daniel Firth – Bass (2012 – ) Ashok (Marek Šmerda) – Guitar (2014 – ) Donny Burbage – guitars (2022 – ) Zoe Marie Federoff – Keyboard, vocals (2022 – )
