Hope it doesn't sound like mainstream garbage

[llama_guitarist]

Hmm, should be interesting I guess. I didn't really bother with Thornography, so I don't know what to expect. I'm not into Cradle as much as I was, they got kind of boring for me.

[PurpleDinosaur]

Everyone's saying they're going back to their black metal roots, IE Dusk and Her Embrace era. I'm hoping this will be good. Interesting track titles.

yeah people said that about thornography also, which we all know sucked HUGELY. this band has fallen into the mainstream hole these days and i have a hard time thinking they can pull themselves out of it, but we'll just have to wait and see.

I hope they do. Thornography was f*cking terrible, and they used to be such a great band.

The new labum is a 72-minute concept record

What's a labum?

[Fi-Fi]

I dislike the concept idea because of the many concept dissapointments lately (priest, cooper)
but some songs sound awesome!, like Corpseflower and honey and sulphur

[dthrasher]

Will i need to buy a labum player?

it will

[Down]

I think Cradle flourishes when they're working with a central concept. Their first few albums were decent and most of them were conceptual. Just as long as Roadrunner doesn't throw a crapload of money at them a la Sony, then this concept album should hopefully not get too ambitious while still telling its story in an epic and interesting manner. There is always hope for bands to make a comeback, however impossible it may seem. A few more months and we'll see if Metallica can show us that bands can get back on the horse.

[PurpleDinosaur]

And by everyone, I do mean Dani Filth.

Which, in retrospect, makes that statement almost laughable.

[Magero]

Last interview I read, even Dani was saying that this sounds nothing like Thornography and then Paul came out to say that it had a lot more of the older style riffs come back.
Personally, I'm hoping for "Damnation and a Day part 2"

[Rengori]

It's sad that when I read the "Guilles De Ray" the first thing that came in my mind were the lyrics to Lord Abortion.

[Captin_Grog]

KICK ASS!!!!!

[Kieran-Clinch]

lambum

[ordinary_story]

WTF! shat out of hell??!...are they making fun of meatloaf?....coz ill be pretty pissed if they are! ima have to beat their asses..!

[Some_Bad_JOKE]

I haven't been too into CoF lately, but this album sounds like it's gonna be good.

Hope it doesn't disappoint!

[Jaykib]

We all know Thornography sucked and they chaged for the worse, mainly I blame Charles Hedger I mean he was 15 and getting tips from none other than Paul Allender for guitar playing. The guitaring had little individuality (besides the vocals being lazy and Martin Powell being gone)

Not to mention, there's no Adrian on drums anymore. So if this is good musically I'll be pleased for sure, but I lost alot of hope with Cradle on Thornography and the lineup has gone past it's prime. I hope they redeem themselves.

If anyone has got the intellect to pull off a concept album it's Cradle, they've done it in the past and I want to say it'll be good but unfortunately it's a wait-and-see...

dont know what everyone's problem is with thornography.
i thought it was pretty kickass.
in fact i haven't got many problems with any of their albums, tbh.
still think my favorites were Damnation and Midian though

and i will totally buy this
mainstream or not (seriously, you guys are immature)

[Skullshredda]

Old school cradle was teh best..

[Quddus]

im hoping its gunna be better than thornography and more black metal sounding kinda like midian but ill probably end up getting it anyway

[[x]Huffy[x]]

I lol'd at Shat Out Of Hell

[-[NiL]-]

No one ever actually goes back to their roots, but bands who say they're going to are a dime a dozen. I don't have my hopes up.

[archangelseren]

yay yay yay yay yay as long as it is keyboard laden underneath those guitars im all for new cradle helleya

[epptron]

cradle being mainstream is a joke..thornography was a damn good album maybe not their best but still kicked ass. dont over analyze and just enjoy it, or stop posting and start a black metal band and show us what cradle should sound like..or stfu plz haters! Im stoked just cuz this means a new tour!!!
ps. first post ever!

Some of the bonus tracks on the Thornography re-release definitely hint at them going back, but I am also weary as if they actually will return to their roots or not.

[justiferatu]

i dont listen to cradle of filth much at all but enough to know those who say its mainstream have their heads up their asses. mainstream=appeals to everyone. ive never heard em have any radioplay.

[justiferatu]

its one thing if their newer stuff sucks but to call them mainstream is just asinine...

You're the dickhead that album sucked so hard that it left the members dickless. god please be damnation and a day of midian or even nympetamine pt 2. it wont be. god. ill just listen to other black/death metal....hooray for immortal ackercoke and anaal nathrahk.

[skindred]

the only song i liked by them was Gilded Cunt,

dani filth is an arrogant gothic hobbit who sounds like a constipated poodle when he sings.

[Darth_MaVeRiCk]

Sounds very cool. Tha last concept albums very great. Ex: Cruelty and the Beast, Damnation and a Day

[XSider]

Mainstream this, mainstream that. YAY. COOL. When a band has melody or something like that in their music that wasn't there before, it becomes mainstream? Or they start to do something new, not that old shit repeating round and round, that's mainstream? NO. It isn't but haven't you all got something else to do instead of bitching at every band that they are mainstream? Even if they are, what's the problem with that? GROW UP people.

Checked.

[fiftysteps]

I don't like them as much, but you must admire the amount of work and the brief amount of time it takes them to release it.

[TiDyCaTT900]

I must agree mainstream..blah blah..Ive never heard this band on the radio..ever..ofcourse I never listen to the radio lol. Cradle rules though, a new POEMF, or Dusk, would be sweet.

[Slaytanic1993]

If they release an album in the vein of the first three I'll love it, if it's like the new stuff, I really really won't.

hopefully this is going to be more black metal than their newer albums. i liked them when they were more black metal. i can't wait to check it out.

the problem is that the original fans of cradle of filth were into their black metal sound. that's the problem. if we like a band's sound and they change it, we're not going to like that band anymore. i did say they have fallen into the mainstream hole a bit, and when i say that, i mean their sound, their media coverage, etc. which is basically what mainstream music is. its bigger. its more known. and to do that in today's mainstream music, you have to change to conform to that sound. that's why cradle of filth have lost their true fans because of their change.

yeah
noone's heard of slayer before either
lol
sorry but your argument has a big whole in it
its called "bands that rehash the same shit over and over"

[roarinflames]

on another note
thats what makes my favorite bands so likable
is i can put on a song and catch the melody and be like this is "that song"
instead of putting on undisputed attitude from slayer and be like, "they all sound the same"

so cradle got symphonic
so what
it just makes things more dynamic and compositionally amazing

[Dakkstar]

I don't think this band can really redeem themselves... Damnation and a Day was their last decent album, their last awesome album being Bitter Suites... only because of the remakes of the older songs.

[Dakkstar]

P.S. It's not so much they have changed their sound it's that they don't produce good songs, they lost all the decent members. Nick Barker, Gian, Lecter, and Robin. Dani can't carry the band, sure it's his voice but the writing is weak. Just like metalcore everyone is sounding the same and it's all garbage.. melodies please.

[darkseason]

"music fans" rarely stand behind BANDS these days. You hear a band you like, you buy the "labum" and you rock out to it till their next one comes out. If they do one little thing different, everybody hates em and calls them "mainstream" and "sellouts". If they put out music that sounds the same, you hate them for not taking risks and being cutting edge. Talking crap about a bands new album before you hear anytthing off of it, is simply ignorant. Buy the album, then you have the right to "blog" about it or whatever.

thornography didn't really suck. they had some good riffs, but it didn't really do anything to stand out.

It's not really a mistake. It's a new CD format, called 'Labumm'. Check it on the net.
