Although the apex of the band's career was when, "Dusk and her Embrace" was released; "Cruelty and the beast" will always have a place in my heart as my favorite Cradle of Filth album. It came in at a point in my life when I was first introduced to black metal(note: I refuse to get into arguments over whether COF is black metal or not. It is the easiest way to describe them and I could go on for pages about what type of music they are, so for the sake of this post, I will refer to them as a black metal band, eventhough technically they aren't.), and was overwhelmed by the aesthetic mixed with ferocity and the classical-esque arrangements of the lyrics and music. I wish they would re release Cruelty and the beast though because the sound production impede the brilliance of the album. Anything after Cruelty and the beast is about as Pop as you can get within the genre, I rarely ever listen to anything after Cruelty.	heburnll
ok, ive never listend to cradle of filth, but ive heard that theyre alot like slipknot, and i love slipknot. is this true or not??	RancidSnow
Whoever told you they are like slipknot are horrificly misinformed. They couldn't sound more different if they tried	heburnll
exactly. Cradle of Filth and Slipknot are completly different bands, and they have different sounds in their music.	riff_master
ok then thanx a bundle for that info. slightly dissapointing tho i really love slipknot.	RancidSnow
My Fav COF Album is "dusk and her embrace" by far	maggot4life
nymphetamine or danination and a day	cradle_of_filth25
midian or cruelty + the beast	danifilth
Amazing Albums...... 1. The Principle of Evil Made Flesh 2-4. Vempire... or Dusk... or Cruelty... Good Albums 5-7. Midian or Damnation... or Bitter... ok but disappointing 8. Nymphetamine	CarpathianRose
I think either dusk and her embrace bbbbuuuuuttttttt nymphetamine has to be the heavyest and most developed one	paceme
Lovecraft and Witch hearts	ChildOfBodom
love all the albums but my favorite two...cuz i can't chose just one.. are Damnation and a Day, and Bitter suites to Succubi	LelijkLijk
I liked "The Principle of Evil Made Flesh". That album sounds different than most of Cradle's alums. The production is pretty bad, though.	aces_high
damnation and and a day is for sure my fav but i like midian, dusk and her embrace, bitter suites to succubi, and cruelty and the beast too. i didnt really like principals of evil made flesh, but it was still pretty good. i hated nymphetimine, worst album they made!	blackrain13
bitter suites to succubi. such a kick ass album, buuuutttttt i'd have to say nymphetamine because that was the first song that i ever heard by them, and the first album that i bought. (but of course i bought the others)	forbiddenfruut
