Early Years (1991- 1996)

�  Cradle of Filth’s first three years saw three demos (Invoking the Unclean, Orgiastic Pleasures, and Total F****ing Darkness) Recorded amidst the sort of rapid line-up flunctuations that have continued ever since, the band having more than twenty musicians in its history. An album entitled Goetia was recorded prior to the third demo and set for release from the studio. The band eventually signed to Cacophonous Records and their debut album, The Principle of Evil Made Flesh, was also Cacophonous’s First release in 1994. A step-up in terms of production from the rehersal quality of most of their demos.

Move to Roadrunner (2004-2010)

�  2044’s Nymphetamine was the band’s first full album since The Principle of evil made flesh to not be based around any sort of arching concept (although refrences to the works of H. P. Lovecraft are made more than once). Cradle’s Bassist Dave Pybus described it as an “Electric mix between the group’s Dmanation and Cruelty albums with a renewed vigour for melody, songmanship and plain F****ing Weirdness.” Nymphetamine debuted at #89 on the billboard Top 200 chart selling just under 14,000 copies, and the band’s growing acceptance by the mainstream was confirmed when the album’s title track was nominated for a Grammy award.

Peaceville Records (2010-Present)

�  Cradle’s relationship with Roadrunner came to an end in April 2010, with the announcement that the band’s next album would be released by the British independent label Peaceville Records, Using Cradle’s own Abracadaver imprint. Early Press releases named the new album All Hallows Eve, but by August 2010 the title was confirmed as Darkly, Darkly Venus Adversa. Released on November 1, 2010, it is a concept album in the same vein as its predecessor, Godspeed on the Devil’s Thunder; this time centering on the demon Lilith, the first wife of the Biblical Adaam, and also making reference to Greek, Egyptian, and Sumerian mythology, The knights Templar and the Carmelite Nuns.

Future Albums

�  The Album is slated for a Halloween 2012 release. Dani Filth revealed the titles of the songs from the new album: “Siding with the titans”, “The Abhorrent”, “Illicitus”, “Frost on Her Pillow”, For your Vulgar Delectation”, “Death, the Great Adventure”, “Manticore”, “The Unveiling of O.”, “Pallid Reflection”, and “Huge Onyx Wings Behind Despair”.
