I know that alot of you may consider yourselves COF fans, but have you heard anything before the year 2000?

If not, you are not a true COF fan.

Before I start going on a rampage about how all their recent stuff sucks, It is importiant that all of you know that Cradle of Filth actually has a PERFECT album.

Dusk..And Her Embrace is a masterpiece of goth-black metal. It is heavy, all songs over 6 min. , and it is highly emotional in the best way. What is also amazing about this album is Dani's voice. In two years (from The Principle of Evil made flesh '94 to Dusk... '96) Dani managed to go from the worse metal vocalist to one of the best and most distinguished.

Thier last good albums were Cruelty and the Beast from '98, which is almost as good as Dusk... , and the release (V)empire. It's all down hill from there.

I hope that you all listen to Dusk... , Cruelty, and (V)empire
