I personally think smoking is why his voice has degenerated over the past ten years slowly.
No..
The smoking has acted as a catalyst for his vocal troubles.
That, and he is getting old.
He's thirty-six, almost pushing forty.
Most singers' voices change once the age.
Look at Bob Dylan, Eddie Vedder, and Roger Daltry.

Sorry.

No offense but I smoke, an play in bands, and do scream shit, an I can disagree with just about everything you said here leading me to think you post this on your own assumption an hearsay of things you read. Furthermore Shagrath an Angela do not use clean rigs at all...

Trust me, vintage CoF singing is WAY harder than the past ten years. Your clean style doesn't change either, it just becomes easier to maintain.

hell most extreme metal vocalists smoke!!!! randy blythe from lamb of god; shagrath from dimmu borgir; angela gossow from arch enemy only quit recently and theyre all still good and ive seen loads more doing it too ......... itll change your clean singing voice like bob dylan, but shouldnt negatively effect your screaming or growling, according to melissa cross anyway who taught loads of famous screamers
the reason his voice has changed is cos he was doing a very tempremental style of screaming which is hard to keep for long without training ...... its amazing he lasted as long as he did really!!!! his new styles okay though, most people would have given up or gone for a different style altogether but hes still trying to keep his high screams and i actually think theyr harder to do than the old ones, although obviously i prefer the old ones ........ anyway the point is, smoking probably had very little to do with it, i think its just that the style he was doing is very hard to keep up for long and he maybe sustained vocal chord damage at some point as a result of doing it every night for god knows how long, and thats probably what changed his voice ..... if youre really perceptive youll notice that his speaking voice is also pretty different from what it was back in the 1990s
I think alcohol is what slowly ruined Dani's voice. When you drink alcohol regularly, it sort of creates a cloud on your throat that makes it hard to reach a high pitch, forcing you to push harder. Join that with the throat problems he's had and you have a ruined voice.

I once had a severe sore throat and when I tried to do anything high pitched, it would come out exactly like Dani's 2005/2006 voice.

He said that he's been seeing vocal coaches and stopped drinking during the tour and alas, you can see the result.

Age is bound to have an effect, his voice sounds much more mature but I wish he brought the late 2007 style back for regular/primal vocals, raspy and medium-pitched.

I don't think he overused the vocals, when you do it right, you can do it indefinately. For example Jon from Hecate Enthroned does the same Dusk-like vocals throughout his time with the band, actually improving with each album.
woooow,I didn't expect this to blow up so much!!! lol duuuuude, it's the rock star life to have a bottle of JD in one hand and a pack of ciggies in the other! Give MR.Filth a break ;)
I don't know why JD is so cool to drink, it's crap compared to real whiskies. I've noticed that my voice changes when I smoke compared to weeks when I don't smoke at all. It could be different for people who smoke all the time but my voice gets lower and rougher when I smoke.
I love JD, but it gives me really bad hang overs compared to vodka and stuff, i've found, like really bad headaches. My only other complaint about jd is that's its expensive. its like 10quid for a small bottle. outrageous

i know tons of scream singers who smoke.
Only problem I have is like what the fuck happens if Dani gets the dreaded LUNG CANCER. That would suck a fattie. But whatever its his choice.
I smoke and i know its hard to quit so lay off
.cant believe a cigarette could start all this fuss. i bet american fans have to do with this. no offence to anyone but please... get back to earth... talking about nicotine only... whats the problem? you listen to COF, love their lyrics and think they all get inspiration from looking at the skies in the morning? come on...
hahahaha totally agreed, my friend!! I always remember this interview I read with Dani Filth, and he was being asked why he uses gruesome lyrics in radle's music and where he gets his inspiration from, And Dani replied along the lines with : "well It would be weird if I wrote about my fucking little pony!!!"

hahahaha CLASSIC!!!!
