专辑介绍

污秽摇篮的

可说是史上最经典的Symphonic Gothic Black Metal专辑,它成功地将英国流传已久的歌德文化与北欧的黑金属元素结合在一起,造就出邪恶、仇恨、浪漫与黑暗的气氛,有别于北欧的正统黑金属风格。主唱Dani为Cradle Of Filth的灵魂人物,他拥有所有黑金属主唱之中最为尖锐的音调,宛如吸血鬼般的嘶吼咆啸,既阴森又恐怖! 如果将此专辑视为一张恐怖片电影配乐也颇洽当,首曲"Humana Inspired To Nightmare"以气氛阴森的交响乐作为前导,犹如吸血鬼即将破棺而出! 紧接着"Heaven Torn Asunder"以棺木开启的音效为起始,随后来自地狱般的惨叫正是吸血鬼的复仇之音,加上低沉的哥德式男女吟唱与飘邈的美声,更添黑暗之美! 很少有专辑能够真正做到既优美又残暴的结合,而"Dusk And Her Embrace"确实已作到这点,Cradle Of Filth不愧是King Of Vampyric Black Metal!

Cradle of Filth may be one of the only recognizable underground metal acts to an average person. Although mom and dad might not know who they are, the band enjoyed a streak of notoriety through the late '90s into the turn of the century that would be hard for a music fan to miss. Their theatrical approach to the black metal genre was nothing new, but they turned it up a notch by cutting out much of the humor and bad special effects that groups like Mercyful Fate depended on and replaced them with a creepier, nastier stage show. But unlike so many of the bands in this genre, they had the music to back it up, and Dusk and Her Embrace may be their finest moment. What they did more than any other group is take the extreme playing style of the Norwegian black metal scene and apply a Sisters of Mercy style of melody to the singing. A hundred different metal bands tried to use goth flourishes in their music, but Cradle of Filth realized that you could make goth conform to heavy metal, not the other way around. This results in some creepy material; just listen to "Heaven Torn Asunder" or "Malice Through the Looking Glass" to hear some of the most important black metal ever made. What is even weirder is how catchy this music is. They really do a good job of incorporating memorable vocal lines and melodies into one of the least accessible genres of the 20th century. The keyboard intros and flourishes may be a little much for some listeners, but in the field of gothic European black metal, would you really expect anything less? With catchy songs, a brutal delivery, and a great gimmick, this is as good as underground metal gets. Along with Emperor, Faxed Head, and a few other pioneers, this band really helped the black metal genre to reappear after the death metal craze of the early '90s, but more than any other group, they also helped to put a twisted, ugly face on the genre for all to see.
