Cradle of Filth have been around for almost 30 years! Their extreme fusion of black metal, gothic and symphonic music, heavily influenced by literature that leans to the macabre side of things and horror films, allowed them to remain in the forefront of the scene while they restart, taking a new course full of momentum and desire to get better!
With classic records like "Dusk... and Her Embrace" (1996), "Cruelty and The Beast" (1998), the EP "From the Cradle to Enslave" (1999) και "Midian" (2000), they ascended at the top of the black metal scene, while their latest LP “Existence is Futile” (2021) with the newcomer Annabelle Iratni taking over keyboards and backing vocals, received universal acclaim from fans and music critics.
