Vocal Coach REACTS - CRADLE OF FILTH 'Nymphetamine Fix' 

Agree

Once poet laureate of England, A title once held by Shakespeare

Love his lyrics

i agree with you

everything from Cruelty and the Beast is absolute lyrical perfection

Liv Kristine is awesome singer really good

Liv Krintine is absolutely amazing. I love her vocals in A Distance There Is.

Same, just watching it on Krange! They just drew me in and been a cradle fan since.

Same!!!! Her ghost in the fog is such a beautiful song!!! ❤

I just randomly saw Nymphetamine on a store shelf, had never heard of CoF, but something inside me said to buy it and I did. Only time I bought music without hearing it first, I don't know how my instincts knew it would be amazing, but it was.

​@@Inariann, Dani Filth sings poetically. His lyrics and vocal capabilities are amazing! _\__/

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would say were legendary. To me it’s an example of how you can destroy your voice by using wrong technique. The early stuff was great and he obviously can’t sing like that anymore.

@@jip5889 Listen to She is a Fire

@@jip5889 bro what???? I just saw him last year his voice has aged fine

The “Ovwrdose” version was my gateway to metal. I was trapped in a car with a metalhead and he said just give me two songs lol. This and “Nemesis” by Arch Enemy.

@mundanemorselsmundanemorse7028 Yeah those are the weakest metal songs ever.

Aegis was their third album with Liv...

Cradle has been doing this style longer though. Their first album, Principle of Evil Made Flesh, was released in '94 and featured Andrea Meyer doing the beauty vocals. To my recollection no other extreme metal band had done this before but it's been in music for ages and it can't be cited as starting this concept if it's been a part of music for literally eons. You can say that in this genre, second wave black metal, Cradle did bring it to a larger audience and they were the first British black metal band historically. They formed in 1991, well before extreme metal was as commercially viable as it is now. I think people forget how old this band actually is. This song itself is from their 2004 album, Nymphetamine, which they received a Grammy nomination for this video. It's 17 years old this year. The band is 30 years old now and Dani still sounds excellent live. I've seen them live 4 times now and they're excellent. He sounds unreal live. His highs are almost ear shattering and the lows are just as intense. I know that sometime in 2014 he started going to an opera coach to gain more control of his whistle ranges and to preserve his voice better because in the beginning he was just winging it and since he has a unique style there's not a lot of options for coaches in this style especially since death metal vocals weren't recognized as a style until the 90s when he started around the same time as the band Death who just developed the recording technique for recording death metal in a better production quality value so that it didn't just sound like mud. This is why early black metal is referred to as potato metal because the production quality is terrible. That changed when Chuck developed the techniques used to record extreme metal. So if you listen to the demos Cradle did in 91 and onward until their first release in 94 the sounds are vastly different. From 94 onwards the production quality has gotten better over time.

No, Liv Kristine was a member of Theatre of Tragedy since theyr first album

Blasphemian? Are you trying to kill this nice man?

The first song I heard was dusk and her embrace and I was instantly in love x)

@@AkashaWingates I stumbled onto them when I was a teen. There was a MTV headbangers ball type album with all sorts of bands on it. It happened to have Medusa and Hemlock on it and went down the rabbit hole from there.

Hello this is a late comment but they actually have made a slasher movie that's called "cradle of fear"! But quite frankly appart from the "sick room" part, it pretty much is terribly bad

more like snuff film rather than slasher

Timestamp?

​​​@@srr1887In this song Dani starts with such vocal. Another example is the chorus of Fields of the Nephilim "Love Under Will". It is possible that two vocals were mixed in a studio, because it doesn't sound so full when they are playing live ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-duehJm4_noM.htmlsi=5WSeoNWrUaQGQfYq?t=196

I was able to see them at Bloodstock this year and it was definitely very impressive to hear Dani's voice live

This! I’ve seen clips of him performing live but all those times he was kinda growling/projecting when he talked too? And then once I caught an interview and I was like… sir, who are you?! Also, I’m not an English native speaker, I didn’t catch the accent when he was singing so that interview was double wtf.

@@AwakingOceanborn it's funny because as a native to the area, I can tell you his singing voice doesn't really show his accent even to us, it's why I sometimes forget and have the same taken aback feeling for a few secs 🤣 Especially as his stage speakjng voice still a little different to his interview/"normal" voice, where you can hear the accent a bit more but he's still growling and not as light

Lol. I've loved them since Her Ghost. An absolute masterpiece and Danis vocals are untouchable.

@Chunaduaialwen 15 year olds are posers in general, they don't even know who they are yet or what life's all about. Heck, their brains are still developing. :')

Why do you think that was? Similar age and timeline for me, as well as the change in opinion, but I can't quite put my finger of why I'd thought of them as posers.

@@alejandroruiz7710 I was listening to a lot of low-fi black metal at the time, so I think the quality production bothered me. Also: symphonic elements, those weren't "metal enough". I was really cringe when I was 15. :') I still don't like overproduced rock music though. Some producers need to get a restraining order to stay away from the compressor...

@@alejandroruiz7710 oh it was us being teens and thinking anything popular was "UGH, SO NEG".

Her ghost in the fog was the first cof song I heard x

Imho "Twisted Nails Of Faith" is the best COF song in their entire catalogue

@@wiederganger1959 in my opinion i think From the Cradle to Enslave or Beneath the Howling Stars are the best

Cruelty brought thee orchids is a masterpiece.

​@@scaredeecat agree. The whole album Cruelty and The Beast, lyrically and sonically is probably the best of any album ever produced.

I'm going to listen to those now, thanks!!

nah, these would be the tracks I'd recommend for Dani's voice range Nocturnal Supremacy, The Forest Whispers thy Name The Principle of Evil Made Flesh (Bitter Suites version) You Will Know The Lion By it's Claws

Welcome to the coven Eva :D

I am huge fan of high vocals. Just recently found out Hecate Entrhoned and they are amazing! It's crazy how I keep finding old stuff for the first time after years of listening to this shit. Other high vocal bands that first comes to mind that I like: Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult, Helheim, Nazgul

Hecate wasn't a rival of Cradle it was literally formed from a former member of Cradle of Filth after he left and took material with him. The band never went far though and that member became a promoter and later on was actually a promoter for Cradle of Filth. Cradle didn't really have rivals they spawned other bands like them when members left or were fired. For instance Dimmu wouldn't still be in existence without Galder ending Old Man's Child after hearing Cradle of Filth and then formed Dimmu inspired by Cradle of Filth. Then after Cradle fired their drummer he joined Dimmu before Dimmu was about to collapse due to lack of members. If he hadn't joined them they wouldn't have made their biggest album, Progenies of the Great Apocalypse, which "rivaled" Cradle's album Nymphetamine in 2004. Cradle has been around for a very long time in the music industry and is an unsung historically important band in metal. Another example is that Richard, current member and guitarist, was the guitar teacher for one of the members of Trivium who arguably started the jent trend in metal. In their own right Trivium has become a big name in metal. Cradle has also been the only metal band to use film studios for their music videos, the first extreme metal band to use full orchestras in their albums not just live, the only extreme metal band to have a horror movie starring, written, and produced by the members themselves, the only band to have circus performers on stage with them and on tour with them, etc etc. The lists of their accomplishments is unreal for not being recognized for anything...

Dani learned the high pitch screams from the former vocalist of hecate enthroned.

It is the yardstick for Cradle. Sadly they never did better. "Cruelty brought thee orchids" should be the one.

A7x are trash
