Cradle of filth樂隊,中文譯為污穢搖籃或淫穢搖籃。1992年組建於英國 音樂風格:極端,哥特,黑金屬
他們自稱: “The Only True English Black Metal Band”。
特質
成立於1992年,來自英國的Colchester,在 樂風上,他們受到了一些老團如: Celtic Frost、 Bathory、Diamanda Galas和Mercyful Fate等的影響,同時也具備了一些大文豪如拜倫、雪萊等同樣的思想悲觀而厭世。這些都可以在他們的音樂中找到。在當時,由斯堪地那維亞半島所帶領的Black Metal潮流正風起雲湧,許多新進團體紛紛成立,而音樂走向也取法挪威派 的黑金屬,而這樣的結果,造成了彼此音樂的重疊性,往往聽了一個團就不用聽其他的團,Cradle Of Filth確也走出了自己的風格,他們自稱:“The Only True English Black Metal Band”(唯一真正的英國黑金屬樂團)。因此有人稱為“吸血金屬”

主要作品
唱片
CradleOfFilth的第3作"Dusk And Her Embrace"可說是史上最經典的Symphonic Gothic Black Metal專輯,它成功地將英國流傳已久的歌德文化與北歐的黑金屬元素結合在一起,造就出邪惡、仇恨、浪漫與黑暗的氣氛,有別於北歐的正統黑金屬風格。主唱Dani為CradleOfFilth的靈魂人物,他擁有所有黑金屬主唱之中最為尖銳的音調,宛如吸血鬼般的嘶吼咆嘯,既陰森又恐怖!如果將此專輯視為一張恐怖片電影配樂也頗洽當,首曲"Humana Inspired To Nightmare"以氣氛陰森的交響樂作為前導,猶如吸血鬼即將破棺而出!緊接著"Heaven Torn Asunder"以棺木開啟的音效為起始,隨後來自地獄般的慘叫正是吸血鬼的復仇之音,加上低沉的哥德式男女吟唱與飄邈的美聲,更添黑暗之美!很少有專輯能夠真正做到既優美又殘暴的結合,而"Dusk And Her Embrace"確實已作到這點,Cradle Of Filth不愧是金屬哥特樂隊的王者。
