Join Me In A Trip Back To 1993...

We are now in England, year 1993. You go out to a local pub to get a few drinks and talk with some friends, maybe even try to find a girl for the night and get jiggy with her later. When you see that a new local black metal band called, Cradle Of Filth, is playing tonight. Interested.. you go check them out. To your fortune, you get a front row position. Knowing that this band might be popular someday, you start recording the concert.. This is the footage you recorded that night.

You love the band so much, that you find out there playing nearby tomorrow again. You go there again to see them play, again you get a good front row spot, and again you start recording, and this is the footage you recorded.

The rest is history...

You can see that the were unique by then and that now classic Cradle sound emerging. History indeed, back then who would have thought they where filming what would become legendary!

In my opinion, I don't think they were "Great" until maybe Vempire.

LOL I'm sure there's a long list that would get it out and spank it to have been there! Or even more of a wet dream to see the first tour they did with Emperor, before Bard and Samoth got locked up!

Same, I couldn't care less about the demo's or the first album. V empire is when it got interesting.

I mean the demos are just too low-quality to enjoy. They didn't really create their own sound until Vempire. Principle was like going with the flow, but it had the blossoming of what would become Cradle as we know today. Their own sound.

Both of these concerts were in April of 1993, which was the tour with Emperor.

And I personally love all of their demos, with TFD being their best and my favorite. TPOEMF is also my favorite album, you guys just need to listen to TPOEMF some more times and really pay attention to every detail, because that album is different from every other Cradle CD they did. There's just something different about it that makes it really good.

That's what I was getting at, their own sound is just starting to come through. I didn't like the demo's at first but after some perseverance you start to get an ear for it ...  the second vid with better quality is well worth a watch imo :)

EDIT - Must get the Tee shirt same as Dani is wearing ... do want!!!

Bathory longsleeve in the first video, their own “The Black Goddess Rises” longsleeve in the second one? :)

Early Cradle touring with early Emperor… What I’d give to see that…

To me, the coolest thing about the Cradle demos is seeing what melodies and themes were reused later on. The late theme in Beauty Slept in Sodom is pretty much one demo song copied 1:1, but I can’t remember which one.

Yeah, Of Mist And Midnight Skies is defiantly the best song on the album. But, the instrumentals is what makes the album so different and amazing from all the other albums. All the other instrumentals on later albums are much different than the instrumentals on TPOEMF. TPOEMF instrumentals are really dark, but very relaxing and beautiful the same time. It's amazing how Benjamin, in high school at the time they recorded TPOEMF, wrote these amazing keyboard melodies throughout the album.

But, I have to really disagree with you saying TPOEMF is the LEAST Gothic album. No way is that valid. You think Damnation And A Day or Godspeed On The Devil's Thunder was more Gothic than TPOEMF? Please, give me a break.

If I was at the pub where they were performing before their fame, I'd ask for autographs.

TPoEMF was their rawest album they've ever made, and their least Gothic. I know you're going to disagree with me but I heard symphonic blackened death metal in the album. For me the best songs are The Forest Whispers My Name, The Black Goddess Rises, Of Mist and Midnight Skies and Summer Dying Fast.

"That night they came and took her away from me
I lost the woman I loved and I learned how to curse
and to spit in the face of their... "jesus fucking christ"

We will ride again
in the midnight skies"

Best lyrics!
