CRADLE OF FILTH There’s been a good bit of discussion among metal fans about what genre or subgenre Cradle of Filth falls into. Some want to label it as black metal, while others call it heavy metal or dark metal. Regardless of the monicker you want to slap on it, the music remains the same — quickly paced rhythmic backdrops painted on by the growled and shrieked vocals of Dani Filth — the band’s only remaining original member.
