Hip-Hop Head's FIRST TIME Hearing CRADLE OF FILTH - "Nymphetamine Fix" (REACTION!!) 

19 now. It was 18 last year.

For real

Exactly its so dark and romantically solemn to❤❤

We bring you the best of the 2000s.

I've been listening to extreme metal just for the past several years. And I would say that Hypocrisy and Cradle of Filth are amongst the best bands.I mostly judge by the number of good sounding tracks per total number of songs.

Whoa. That is amazing. Like whoa.

@WhoDarestheMAN gamer regardless, having he's 10 times more successful then most people with degrees in literature.

Yup. I tried to translate his lyrics into Chinese when I was a child. Obviously I failed 😂

@WhoDarestheMAN gamer Google must really not be your strong point. He has dual Master's degrees in English Literature, and it is a point of trivia frequently mentioned in articles about the band. Dani is an incredibly talented and well educated lyricist.

No wonder he's such an intricate lyricist.

YUUUUSSSSS

listening from the Principals of evil made flesh new boy

Sounds about right

@@Peter-by3oxsince dark fairy tales 96 yo

Facts lol I am 34 is just Dani filth I been in love with his music since I was 14

xd true

leaves eyes aswell

Liv's era of Theater Of Tragedy is the best Goth metal inthe universe, EVER

And Norwegian!

She was in Leaves Eyes too ! My Destiny is the song she was best known for in this band. Elegy too.

ew gross

Love 'em... One of my favourites !

darkness ascending Dani Filth from what I can hear of this song has possibly one of the widest range of vocals that I’ve heard in a long time. I say he is a top ten candidate in my opinion for rock and metal vocalists for widest range of vocals in the world.

Same ... Nothing is like his voice and music

Dani is so incredibly hot I was so surprised even in his platform boots he was barely my height. Its nuts that voice is in such a small body

Yaaaass!! Bathory aria 😍😍

She has the voice of an angel

Forgot her name, but knew I recognized that voice from Leaves' Eyes.

Wait what Leaves Eyes album(s) does she sing in? Because I either didn't hear it yet, or I just didn't notice. He should definitely react to Leaves Eyes and Theatre of Tragedy, I never hear anyone talk about either band which is a shame because they're both amazing.

@@Werewolf914 All of them except for Sign of the Dragonhead.

I think it’s more like growling. Is that what it’s called? I’m used to death metal growling, and it sounds similar. But also, thank you! Not everyone realizes this about the lyrics.

Growling is more like Whitechapel or The Acacia Strain, guttural is more like Cradle of Filth or Pantera. I hope these references help you. 😺

It's kind of a whispering scream, he uses fry vocal to reach it

The technique is called Vocal Fry

Pyretta Blaze But Nymphetamine also got nominated for a Grammy for Best Metal Performance in 2005 or something like that. I think it was 2005 but I’m not entirely sure.

I think the same thing then I question is he my favorite period, regardless of genre. It's hard to deny

And theater of tragedy.

You just look her up lol

@ and the problem is ?

Yeah I love me some liv Christine

Ex vocalist of Leaves'Eyes

finally someone who speaks with knowledge.

Absolutely true! Some metalheads should listen to Aegis once in a lifetime

This is how we filter the tourists.

Nice to see someone care about the early days!

@@AchirdTheWi2ard definitely!!!!

He makes that face for every female vocalist. The *real* reaction is his face when the lyrics switch from Liv to Dani. xD

That's so sweet

I felt the exact way!!

Agustin Jauregui ghost in the fog is awesome

Agustin Jauregui hmm great choices. Maybe Guilty Brought Thee Orchids, Beneath the Howling Stars, The Black Goddess Rises II just to name a few extras 🤘🏽🤘🏽

He did ghost in the fog. It isn't actually his firsr reaction to this band

Dark deception kills the light oh yeah 😂

@@darkdeceptionkillsthelight9653 Yah but he forgot :))

yeah and he sings while inhaling, not exhaling

@Psychotic Phantom for some screaming part, he inhales for a thicker voice. Other than that he exhales ofc

@Psychotic Phantom hah true that, but dani has a wide octav range so he can inhale on high pitch. Behemoth or moonspell is an example some ugly inhales

called out and exposed

I was about to say , he just forgot it doesn't get enough of them on the channel

Andrew Carroll He did but he hadn’t reacted to this song by Cradle Of Filth. So there’s another one off his list.

was just about to say this very thing lol

@@scott49140 me too lol

She deserves credit, true, but claiming that we owe the entire subgenre of Gothic Metal to her is too much credit. That credit goes to 3 British bands: My Dying Bride, Paradise Lost and Anathema. Heck, even Type-O-Negative adopted the gothic style long before ToT rose from the woodwork. Then there's a little band called Tiamat that had heavy gothic influences before ToT. Without them there would most likely not be a Theatre of Tragedy at all, or it would've sounded very different. We can credit the band with adopting the clean female/male growl vocal combination as a main musical element. Yes, I'll give you that. An idea they lifted from bands like The Gathering, Paradise Lost and Cradle of Filth. But to say the entire subgenre was founded on Theatre of Tragedy only shows ignorance on the genesis of Gothic Metal. They popularized ONE element of the wide spectrum that is Gothic Metal, the Beauty and the Beast element as it's referred to.

@@thenecrosanct4906 Tiamat isn't just "a little band" :)

@@eneryle That was sarcasm. ;)

Wow, what utter bullwhip did I just read? Tot founded a sub genre? Yea, no.

+1 TheNecrosanct

Theater of Tragedy is the pioneer of Goth metal

A perfect list to introduce anybody to cradle

Her ghost in the fog :)

Mannequin ;)

From the Cradle to Enslave =)

Babalon A.D. (So Glad for the Madness)

Damn dog, good catch! In fairness he reacts to a ton of shit, so maybe he forgot?

@@wolfhawk1999 Yea it's not easy to keep track on what you have reacted to but some people seem to forget that...

That was exactly my reaction. And I mean yah it's normal to forget stuff but COF is not something you just forget about =)) especially when your his reaction to them was on Her Ghost in the freakin' Fog :))

Wanna know why he forgot? He does not give a damn about what he listens to.Every videos the same,same face,same words etc. He's just putting up an act for the views.Fake and bland.

Dins Ceravs i dont doubt that at all tbh. I’ve had my suspicions

jiinx72 i hung out with them satriycon and septic flesh about 10 years ago. Bought them a round n they bought me n my buddies one after a show

Lilith immaculate so amazing

The female vocals in this song are beautiful.

Awesome fucking track, possibly my fav in Darkly Darkly, but probably abit too extreme for Alex. It's one of their fastest and most energetic songs to date(or at least what I can think of from the top of my head right now). Tracks like Nymphetamine are very listener friendly, like Malice Through the Looking Glass.

It crowd!

this made my day :D

I personally love "Absinthe with Faust" Well that who album is good lol

"I STARTLED you..." :)

Yes and yes

Yes... I love that song

And before that she was in Theatre Of Tragedy and now she's a member of Midnattssol. . She has the voice of an angel ...

I had the chance to meet liv... she is awesome

Yeah that's it!

She also has a hand full of solo albums

@@henrikwerre6275: Thank you for introducing me to two bands. "Midnattssol" is also the name of a song by Hindarfjall, and I love it.

First time hearing Cradle of filth ( Nymphetamine) 👈

@@gukurama9421 Every reaction to a song is a first on this channel

Bro when I first heard it in 2005 I had the same face because of the woman voice. I was like whoaa

Came here to say this haha

Freezzrburn But the live version with the Oslo orchestra

This song will blow his fucking mind!

Yes!

Yesss! 🔥🤘

The live orchestra version please

Thanks man!

Heartbreak and seance, you will know the lion by his claw, right wing of the garden tryptich, Babylon AD. Honestly I'd suggest every Cradle song.😂

I like English Fire

he already reacted to her ghost in the fog

Why are you suggesting mostly covers I'm sure he'd like to hear cofs actual songs lol great songs tho

I agree with your recommendation for "Into your light".

+1 on Into your light. Elegy is incredible too.

Temptation and Into Your Light are awesome...

Thx bro

Stay with me

That would be a great sone, or A gothic romance

Fuck yes

Seriously. That song is a fucking banger.

Andy Salter tru, have been trying for two weeks

Sunny Le's dance to this is mesmerising :|

Hell yeah

That's a great song and a fuckn dope ass video too

His vocals sound great cause he ignored the safe technique. Look at his vocals now. He voice is completely damaged.

@Goutham Doddi He actually sounds better now than he did in the past 15 years. Yes, his vocal technique wasn’t the safest in the early days, but people need to stop pretending like he can still only do the hoarse whispery stuff he did on Thornography. Hammer of the Witches and Cryptoriana are considered to be an amazing return to form harkening back to those early days.

Tearing the veil from grace....one of my fav songs

I'd recommend Queen of Winter, Throned and Bathory Aria. Two songs where imo Dani peaked. My guess Alex would shit his pants listening to those songs hehehe

Swansong for a Raven is arguably the best track on that album.That song's a tragedy wrapped in misery wrapped in a clusterfuck in the most beautiful way.

@@SJamesGill88 Doug Bradley's continued voice over contributions to Cradle's albums adds that final depth of despair that completes each song he works on. Whether you envision Pinhead delivering his "moral of your story" monologue from the Hellraiser movies, or just a random narrator, it's just that final touch that makes the song.

Swansong is such a good song

That's exactly how I would describe his facial expressions :)

Bit of a dick IRL though, Early 2000's i was a roadie at one of the smaller rock venues here in the UK he did nothing but bitch and moan about how we were handling things and setting up, The show was good though. Lemmy (Phil and Mikkey aswell) were totally awesome and the nicest people i ever met at that job

Dani*

Hey reaction guy tuning more rap heads to black metal dani filth has a 5 octave vocal range that's why he's able to sound like that

Huh interesting interpretation, the way I always thought of it was that he was super in love probably even obsessed with a Women to the point that being with her was like a drug and though it's a bit clingy he couldn't be anywhere without her. Hence the chorus lines like "in my heart that barless Prison" and "this lust, this Vampiric addiction, to her alone in full submission" But one thing that I also wondered as whether this led to him either dying, or trying to kill himself because you also have lines like the beginning where he says "Cold was my soul, untold was the pain I faced when you left me a Rose in the rain. So I swore to the *razor* that never enchained, would your dark nails of faith, be pushed through my veins again" as well as the first bit of his part of the chorus "*six feet deep* is the incision" as well as her saying "bared on your tomb" which to me implies that maybe he did die or try to? Guess we'll never know the true meaning unless Dani says what he wrote it about. So really any interpretation could be correct.

I don't think nymphhas anythingto do with celtic mythology, it is Greek.

@@brothergrief9531 : The idea of a nymph was not just Greek -- in pagan and Celtic circles, they were called "fairies." But when you look at how both nymphs and fairies are described in lore, they are very similar to each other.

The title is a portmanteau of "nymphette" and "amphetamine" and Dani Filth explained it as referring to "a drug-like addiction to the woman in question, with her insidious vampire qualities literally bringing her lover back from the brink of the spiritual grave, only to bury him further on the strength of a whim. This is very Edgar Allan Poe in style, and leaves one thinking that, despite the character's inner agonies, he is really a welcome submissive who readily enjoys the terrible highs and lows of his relationship with this alluring and filthy succubus."

Rather the addiction to beauty.

I agree to this.

@@ferrybeurskens4664 yeah.Death of love is just a gift like this one. Dani Filth is a gift for us.

Interestingly enough, I believe he'd really enjoy that one as well. Because of how similar it is to Nymphetamine Fix, in terms of the contrast between the clean and dark vocals.

Agreed. He reacted to two of their most easy listening songs and imo two of their least interesting ones. He should go definitely for something out of Vempire, Dusk or Cruelty.

Midian is a masterpiece

I don't think Vempire and The Principal of Evil Made Flesh get enough attention though. Dusk and Cruelty are great also, but that's when they first started to break through to the mainstream. It's almost like their older stuff is too obscure to matter, but they do.

@@DeathBYDesign666 Vempire is their best imo.

Principle through Vempire is my favourite era, along with a lot of you guys. I listened to The Principle of Evil Made Flesh again recently which ignited a newfound appreciation for their old music. Dusk And Her Embrace is probably always going to be my favourite though. Hammer of the Witches and Cryptoriana are wonderfully returning to Cradle's roots too.

OMG exactly!!! That's what I tell people when they want to learn black metal type vocals. Do the grudge sound and then push while trying to hold that. 😁

The 0nly Madman amazing band!!!

The 0nly Madman amazing band!!!

Lol

Huhammas thariq: *uses dead meme* Me: awe shit... here we go again

@@Karen-vf8no nice try right there 🤣

Kanye wore a chelsea grin tshirt. Lil wayne has worn shit like that. Some lower rappers ive seen.

😂😂😂

Hes been doing this long enough that he saw the appeal of metal. His main genre is still hip hop

if you wanna know, alex will always hip-hop head x'D

... he's not screaming clown. *hip hop* yes has a Metallica poster....

I love this song a shock to my self when I found out it was about Joan of arc

Es una pieza hermosa!!!

@@charlesbratti the entire album Godspeed on the Devils Thunder is about Gille de Rais, Joan's comrade during the 100 years war. :)

Isn't Liv also on Leave's Eyes?

She was the original singer of Theatre of Tragedy as well

Nhik Granger yes she is but I’m not feeling that band.

I saw her more in leaves eyes but ye she did some théâtre of tragedy with elis too with a looot of bands she has a special voice tone

@@isaiahaldhafera9752 Liv it's not in Leave's Eyes anymore, for about 2 or 3 years now... She sings solo know and have a lot of guests appearances, new solo album coming soon, from the last one check this song, album name is Vervain, guest male vocalist is Michelle Darkness from End of Green, you can check them also, they are cool ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QdHG-gnVZPc.html

Yesssss

Wait...they did a Maiden cover!? When was this??

@@isaiahwelch8066 dude cmonnn u livin under a rock . hallow by thy name is awesome go check it out now

@@gamesandsoftwares1441 : I'm not livin' under a rock, 'cause I listen to some beautiful and epic metal, but duuude... Hallowed Be Thy Name is a classic Maiden song! I just hope they did the song justice -- because I've heard some awesome covers, like Unleash the Archers (Queen of the Reich by Queensryche, and Northwest Passage), Sabaton (Kingdom Come by Manowar), Disturbed (Land of Confusion by Genesis and Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel), and Amaranthe (82nd All the Way, by Sabaton). Doing a cover is like...trying to update a classic car. Sometimes it succeeds (Mustang), sometimes it fails horribly (PT Cruiser, New Beetle, Chevy HHR).

@@isaiahwelch8066 waitttttt when sabaton did a cover on kingdom comee im gona check it out now. anws its an awesome song . they did it in their own style not the iron maiden way . iron maiden still got the crown for this in my opinion its hard to outperform a band like this . still. they did a great job covering this song in their own style

from the cradle to enslave. both the song and uncensored video. the rest suxx

Gilded cunt is my favorite cof song lol nemesis is a close one too

English fire is an underrated track from this album too. Sounds like it could be a single

Sadly no longer with Leaves Eyes - they sacked her and have a new vocalist now.

Liv is ex vocalist since 2015 when she broke up with her ex-husband Alexander Skrull(Atrocity and Leave's eyes). She is the second vocal in the band Midnattsol since 2017.;)
