This Black-Metal band led by vocalist Dani Filth, was formed in Suffolk,
ENGLAND in 1991, the early incarnation comprised guitarist Paul Ryan,
bassist Jon Richard, keyboardist Benjamin Ryan and drummer Darren.
The quintet soon released a demo; after several personnel changes and
two more demos the group scored a deal with Cacophonous Records who released
in mid-1994, their debut full-length album, "The Principle Of Evil
Made Flesh".
Shortly afterwards the Ryan brothers quit, by the late 1996 the new line-up
consisted of Dani Filth, guitarists Stuart Antsis and Gian Pyres, keyboardist
Les Smith and drummer Nicholas Barker, they recorded "Dusk... And
Her Embrace", which was followed two years later by "Cruelty
And The Beast", the group's third effort cracked for the first time
the top 50 of The Official U.K. Albums chart.
During the year 2000 Adrian Erlandsson joined over the drum stool as Barker
left, guitarist Paul Allender replaced Antsis and the group started to
work on "Midian", Martin Powell took the place of Smith on keyboards
in time for the sessions; the record gained critical acclaim in North-Europe
reaching the #11 in Finland chart.
A year later, Cradle Of Filth, released on their own imprint label AbraCadaver,
"Bitter Suites To Succubi", an album that incuded re-workings
of early material plus four new songs, it failed to chart in their homeland
but hit #11 on Top Independent Albums list Stateside.
Their next effort, "Damnation And A Day", which arrived in the
spring of 2003 has cracked The Billboard Top 200 Albums chart.
