艺人介绍

Cradle of Filth在1991年成立于英国，由主唱Dani Filth领军所组成的黑金属乐团。因为他们的装扮几乎都是吸血鬼的模样，所以有人称为吸血鬼派黑金属。Dani Filth利用特有尖高音式的黑腔搭配交响弦乐与阴暗气氛的背景，唱出高文学素质的歌词，影响许多后进黑金属乐团，包括台湾的闪灵乐团主唱Freddy唱腔也有类似Dani Filth的唱法。

在乐风上，他们受到了一些老团如: Celtic Frost、 Bathory、Diamanda Galas和mercyful fate等的影响，同时也具备了一些大文豪如拜伦、雪莱和尼采等同样的思想特质:悲观而厌世。这些都可以在他们的音乐中找到。在当时，由斯堪地那维亚半岛所带领的Black Metal潮流正风起云涌，许多新进团体纷纷成立，而音乐走向也取法挪威派的黑金属，而这样的结果，造成了彼此音乐的重叠性，往往听了一个团就不用听其他的团，Cradle Of Filth确也走出了自己的风格，他们自称：“The Only True English Black Metal Band”（唯一真正的英国黑金属乐团）。

难以置信的事情往往就是这样突然发生的，Sony唱片英国公司收编了Cradle Of Filth并在今年3月推出了全新录音室专辑《Damnation and a Day》。封套设计之精美令人咋舌，有单曲打榜，有Music Video，有主流音乐杂志发评论，甚至还可以在官方网站下载手机铃声。伴随着一系列的商业运作，这个长期在黑暗世界称霸的堕落天使终于在末日降临前回到了人间。

和斯堪的纳维亚半岛的诸神相比，Cradle Of Filth不仅在地域位置和音乐风格上自成一派，而且作为英语背景的黑暗金属乐队，销量得以覆盖美国市场，这大概是Sony唱片看上他们的原因吧。 Cradle Of Filth在商业上的成功还得益于他们的黑暗概念只围绕吸血鬼、地狱、撒旦这些弱智美国人都能理解的东西，再加上流畅而富于变化的旋律和又快又猛的吉他，因此一部分听腻了Rap Metal、Hardcore和Industrial的美国青少年转向Cradle Of Filth这类源自内心深处的黑暗势力也就不足为奇了。

排除商业因素，Cradle Of Filth在极端金属领域一直是倍受尊敬的乐团。他们在多年的探索和尝试中，逐渐形成了一种融各派所长的独特风格：北欧黑金属的猛烈演奏、交响金属的宏大结构、死亡金属的低吼、哥特金属的女高音伴唱再加上主唱Dani Filth招牌式的吸血鬼气质的尖叫。在密不透风的编曲下流动着一幅幅阴暗残暴却又唯美的画卷。相信只要你投入过他们的音乐一次，就会情不自禁地一遍遍反复聆听，这是一种让人上瘾的邪恶感觉。有的评论干脆将他们单立一派，称为“吸血金属”（Vampire Metal），不过这一派旗下门徒寥寥，大概是这种非人非兽般的尖叫实在太难模仿了。

British black metal band Cradle of Filth was formed in 1991, originally comprising vocalist Dani Filth (born Daniel Lloyd Davey), guitarist Paul Ryan, his keyboardist brother Benjamin, bassist John Richard, and drummer Darren. After recording a demo dubbed Invoking the Unclean a year later, the group recruited guitarist Robin Eaglestone, who quit soon after recording a second demo, Orgiastic Pleasures; however, when Richard exited the band a short time later, Eaglestone stepped back in to assume bass duties, opening the door for guitarist Paul Allender. Following a third demo, Total Fucking Darkness, Cradle of Filth — now with new drummer Nicholas Barker — signed with the Cacophonous label, issuing their proper debut, The Principle of Evil Made Flesh, in mid-1994.

The lineup changes continued when the Ryan brothers both departed to form the Blood Divine (and Allender left as well), making room for guitarists Stuart Antsis and Jared Demeter and keyboardist Damien Gregori to debut on the 1996 mini-LP Vempire or Dark Faerytales in Phallustein. For the full-length Dusk and Her Embrace later that same year, Gian Pyres took Demeter's spot, and afterward, Gregori was replaced by keyboardist Les Smith; at any rate, the album substantially expanded the group's growing cult following. Cradle of Filth's next effort, Cruelty and the Beast, appeared in 1998, amid the group's steadily growing reputation for elaborate Alice Cooper/Marilyn Manson-style concert theatrics. Two years later the group returned with From the Cradle to Enslave, an EP that featured new drummer Adrian Erlandsson (formerly of Sweden's At the Gates and the Haunted), as Barker had departed to join Dimmu Borgir.

The band's dizzying lineup changes continued apace as Paul Allender rejoined the group and Martin Powell (ex-Anathema and My Dying Bride) replaced Smith on keyboards for the full-length Midian, which was appropriately released on Halloween 2000. Bitter Suites to Succubi was issued on Spitfire in summer 2001. The group added a choir and orchestra to the lineup for 2003's Damnation and a Day on Red Ink, and moved to Roadrunner for 2004's Nymphetamine. Thornography followed on Roadrunner in 2006, a year that also saw the release of The Cradle of Filth Box Set. Eleven Burial Masses, a collection of live material, arrived in 2007.
