Bommu..sorry I mean Dimmu is better...I mean the album Death Cult Armageddon ;)
Confusing

Thats not good dimmu...well it's good but the earlier albums are better when shagroth was drummer i think......For All Tid and Storm Blast

Dimmu...Hey Nick Barker knew the bigger better deal (not to mention Mr. Davey is a royal pain in the ass with an annoying bout of small man syndrome), too bad he didn't stay (I love that teddy bear of a man).

Oh yeah... and Dani got fat.

both,there both good bands but above all i would say dimmu borgir,there lyrics are really in depth,and CoF 's are somewat all the same,there like all about vampires,dont get me wrong vamps are the shit but come on youve gotta change it up a little.

HELLO RUN-ON! My eyes have been r*ped by a piece of sand paper.

Well, I'm deep into the norwegian black metal, and I can honestly say, that Dimmu Borgir totally screwed up for me when they make those annoying bombastic albums since Enthrone Darkness Triumphant. The first two: For All Tid and Stormblast were good however not earblasting like Immortal, but the rest totally sucks. Well, that's just my little opinion...

I don't think Shagrath has ever been drummer... he played the lead guitars as well as the vocals at the first 2 albums.

And for CoF: nah...

i prefer CRADLE OF FUCKING FILTH!!! sexy dani...though,sadly,xmas has madehimgain a few pounds *runs away crying*

Have you ever read an interview with Dani Filth? He doesn't actually take himself seriously... Um. I like the noises they make. But can't stand anyone who takes them seriously.

I think they're funny(COF), if I need to smile I just think of Dani singing and can't stop laughing.

I think both Dimmu Borgir and Cradle of Filth are both amazing bands, each in their own way.

When I first heard the first Cradle Of Filth album ` The Principle of Evil made Flesh` in 1995, I was blown away !!!.

Their excellent debut has classics such as `To Eve the Art of Witchcraft`, `The Forest Whispers my Name` and `The Black Goddess Rises`.

If some of their songs became horror movies, they would be a cross between Hammer Horror and the Universal monster series (Bride of Frankenstein, Dracula, the Wolfman etc), with bits of H.P Lovecraft and Clive Barker thrown in the insanity and tongue in cheek that is Cradle of Filth.

Dimmu Borgir are fantastic, I first saw them on the Friday Rock Show when the promo for `Mourning Palace` was shown. Mourning Palace , is still on of my favourite songs (I just love that catchy keyboard lick (its an arpeggio in D minor ) thats the main theme of the song), Enthrone Darkness Triumphant is one of my favourite albums by this band.

Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropy is another piece of their musical genius, this album is up there with classics as Slayers `Reign in Blood`, and Morbid Angel`s `Altars of Madness`.

I do not care much for both bands.

I highy dislike both of them. I just can not take them seriously even if I tried. It makes me laugh to see the kids in school wearing their t-shirts because they all have the same facial expresion and seem to be trying to make people be afraid of them.

Okay.. well I've seen Cradle in concert approx. five times and Dimmu three. As far as entertainment goes, Cradle has the better show as their career expands so does the stage presence they offer. Dimmu is great musically but made a mistake when they lost Nicolas Barker, (in my opinion) the best drummer in the black/goth metal world.

As to Dani's seriousness....

I actually spent over 2 hours with Nick Barker (went Maiden Shirt shopping with him and drove him around Chicago a while) and then after the CoF show I spent another hour or more with the remainder of the band... (at that time it was Dani, Robin, Stuart, Gian, and Lecter) The guys were down to earth sweet and a little silly I was impressed by all but Dani. He sat in the corner with his entourage ignoring everyone and when I tried to chat with him briefly about the Misfits (supposedly one of his fave bands) and I was brutally snubed. His only redeeming act was asking me to have a good night and take care as he was climbing into his vehicle. Well now that all the somewhat original members are gone and their sound has gone to the generic manson kiddies I've taken a step away. But I still have a soft spot for the Cradle I do love.

Btw.. Anyone who thinks Damnation and a Day or any album after is either their first or best album should burn in hell and die. You suck and so do your music tastes. If you have no idea what I mean by 9" red vinyl... sell your collection and go listen to Creed it'll be easier for you. Last, if you have no idea who Gian, Stuart, and Robin are... *sigh* Hey, I hear KoRn has a new album!!

Thanks...signed,

I agree with Sanctus Dei, Cradle of Filths earlier material is much better, their debut`Principles`is a genre classic !.

About your Cradle of Filth record (the 9" red vinyl), is it a single, or an E.P and which

release is it (Is it Bitter Suites) ?.

Nope. Danny boy is a complete asshole. I remember meeting him or watching him with his fans I should say, though I did not speak to him. I saw him but that was it and Sanctus is quite correct. I will stake my name on it.

I do not like either but I am going with Dimmu. Even though still I do not care for them.

I think It's weird that CoF has kept changing their band members. I've only got Nymphetamine but I think it's pretty good apart from a couple of tracks. What do you think of Cruelty and the Beast? I've been trying to get that for ages.
