From the Cradle to Enslave EP
|
I know, I know. These guys are really popular now, but I liked them a long time ago when they first came out. When they were still amazing. Classically trained musicians who can really play. Seriously, a couple of COF tours back, when they had the gargoyle’s and ramps on stage, with the cirque de sole girls spinning from curtains. This was one of the best live shows I had ever seen. I have seen them since and have not been as impressed. That show is how they won me over as a die hard fan. This EP is my favorite cradle of filth CD. It kicks ass from start to finish. The video below, From the Cradle to Enslave is not safe for kids or work. Do not watch this unless you are 18 years of age. I love it.
Don’t laugh. But I am also a huge fan of the first 3 Metallica records (kill em all, ride the lightning, and master of puppets), the point is, at times, this music reminds me of the speed and anger of those old records. With a musical theatrical twist on top. Classical gothic keyboard lines and female vox from time to time. Also, Cradle covers the misfits like metallica did back in the day. They pull it off great in my book. Below is a fan made video for death comes ripping, with a ton of horror film clips. This also is not work safe, and should not be viewed unless you are 18 years of age or above.
A lot of people have a problem with the cookie monster vocals. COF really does both cookie monster and insane screeching zombie vocals. But why was I a huge skinny puppy fan back in the day? Because OGRE SOUNDED LIKE A FUCKING OGRE, right out of a movie. I love the horror style of vocals. So this has never been a problem for me. I love old speed metal, and grind core, death metal too. I don’t listen to it all the time. But I get in the mood every summer. Why? Because these are the best live shows to watch. This scene has the best looking people as well. Oh my god, Death Metal girls. Need I say more…
My favorite songs on this lp are the title track, Sleepless, Death Comes Ripping, and Dawn of Eternity. It’s a short EP, but by far my favorite from cradle of filth. I always go and see death metal shows. I always go see Cradle of Filth, Napalm Death, Arch Enemy, and Strapping Young Lad. These bands always put on a great shows with high energy music. Buy now!
