Cradle of Filth are a
heavy metal band formed in
Suffolk,
England in 1991. They have been embraced and disowned with equal fervour by various metal communities, and their particular
subgenre has provoked a great deal of discussion. The band's sound evolved from
black metal to a cleaner and more "produced" amalgam of
gothic metal,
symphonic black metal and other
extreme metal styles, while their lyrical themes and imagery are heavily influenced by
gothic literature,
poetry,
mythology and
horror films. The band have successfully broken free of their original niche by courting mainstream publicity (often to the chagrin of its early fanbase), and this increased accessibility has brought coverage by the likes of
Kerrang! and
MTV, frequent main stage appearances at major festivals such as
Ozzfest and
Download, and in turn a more "commercial" image. They have sometimes been perceived as satanic by casual observers, although their outright lyrical references to
satanism are few and far between, and use of satanic
imagery has arguably always had more to do with the
shock value than any seriously-held beliefs. According to
Metal Hammer magazine, they are the most successful
British metal band since
Iron Maiden.
