Cradle of Filth

Cradle of Filth, formed in 1991, are a Melodic Black Metal band with Gothic influences from England, although their music has been somewhat difficult to classify, and as such is highly subject to opinion. The group has progressed from a rawer Black Metal sound to a fully orchestrated symphonic metal feel. Their music has often touched on gothic metal overtones, and has been both ridiculed and praised by critics. Most black metal fans criticise the group as coverage by Kerrang and MTV has brought them a much more mainstream and commercial image. Thus some black metal fans deem them "sell outs", while hardcore fans remain. Thus, ascertaining a definitive classification of what "kind" of rock genre Cradle of Filth represents is difficult, at best.

Current tour

Cradle of Filth is currently touring in the United Kingdom towards December 2005. Aside from this upcoming tour, Cradle of Filth is being featured on such television shows as Viva La Bam and recording their latest studio album.
