バンドの紹介文(Youtubeより)

British black metal band Cradle of Filth were formed in 1991, originally comprised of vocalist Dani Filth (born Daniel Lloyd Davey), guitarist Paul Ryan, his keyboardist brother Benjamin, bassist John Richard, and drummer Darren. After recording a demo dubbed Invoking the Unclean a year later, the group recruited guitarist Robin Eaglestone, who quit soon after recording a second demo, Orgiastic Pleasures; however, when Richard exited the band a short time later, Eaglestone stepped back in to assume bass duties, opening the door for guitarist Paul Allender. Following a third demo, Total Fucking Darkness, Cradle of Filth -- now with new drummer Nicholas Barker -- signed with the Cacophonous label, issuing their proper debut, The Principle of Evil Made Flesh, in mid-1994.

The lineup changes continued when the Ryan brothers both departed to form the Blood Divine (and Allender left as well), making room for guitarists Stuart Antsis and Jared Demeter and keyboardist Damien Gregori to debut on the 1996 mini-LP Vempire or Dark Faerytales in Phallustein. For the full-length Dusk and Her Embrace later that same year, Gian Pyres took Demeter's spot, and afterward, Gregori was replaced by keyboardist Les Smith; at any rate, the album substantially expanded the group's growing cult following. COF's next effort, Cruelty and the Beast, appeared in 1998, amid the group's steadily growing reputation for elaborate Alice Cooper/Marilyn Manson-style concert theatrics. Two years later the group returned with From the Cradle to Enslave, an EP that featured new drummer Adrian Erlandsson (formerly of Sweden's At the Gates and the Haunted), as Barker had departed to join Dimmu Borgir.

The band's dizzying lineup changes continued apace as Paul Allender rejoined the group and Martin Powell (ex-Anathema and My Dying Bride) replaced Smith on keyboards for the full-length Midian, which was appropriately released on Halloween 2000. Bitter Suites to Succubi was issued on Spitfire in summer 2001. The group added a choir and orchestra to the lineup for 2003's Damnation and a Day on Red Ink, and moved to Roadrunner for 2004's Nymphetamine.
Thornography followed on Roadrunner in 2006, a year that also saw the release of The Cradle of Filth Box Set. Eleven Burial Masses, a collection of live material, arrived in 2007, followed by the concept album Godspeed on the Devil's Thunder in 2008. In 2010, the band released its ninth studio album, Darkly, Darkly, Venus Aversa, which is also a concept album that focused on the myth of the demon Lilith, the alleged first wife of the biblical Adam. Darkly, Darkly, Venus Aversa was the first COF album not to contain any instrumental tracks.


バンドの紹介文(ロードランナー、 wikipediaより)

全ては1991年の夏に始まった。「魔女の土地」として知られるイギリスはサフォークにて CRADLE OF FILTHは産声を上げる。当時のオリジナル・メンバーは、 Daniel Davey （vo.）、John Richard （b.）、 Darren White（dr.）、Paul Ryan （g.）という4人。翌年92年1月、 Robin Eaglestoneをゲスト・ギタリストに迎え、CRADLE OF FILTHは"Invoking The Unclean"という デモを制作、その後も"The Black Goddes Rises"、"Orgiastic Pleasures"と3枚のデモを立て続けに 制作。そしてこの3作目となるこのデモ音源で、ようやく彼らは良い評判を得る事になり、 インディペンデント・レーベルから声がかかるようになるのだが、契約をしないまま、新たなデモの 制作に入る。この頃にはベースのJohnが脱退し、ゲスト・ギタリストだったRobinをベーシストとして 加入させ、新たにセカンド・ギタリストとしてPaul Allenderを、そしてより壮大なサウンドを実現 させるためにBenjamin Ryanをキーボードに迎え入れ、4作目となるデモ"Total Fucking Darkness"を 発表、ダニ曰く「俺達にとって唯一の重要なデモ」と表現するこの作品で彼らは今後の活動の核となる ブラック・メタルの片鱗を見せ始め、アンダーグラウンド・シーンにて異常なほどの盛り上がりを 見せ始める。
その後ドラマーのDarrenも脱退、すぐさまバンドはNicholas Barkerを新たなドラマーに迎えて活動を 続け、ようやくインディペンデント・レーベルであるCACOPHONOUS RECORDSとの契約を獲得、94年に デビュー・アルバム『The Principle Of Evil Made Flesh』を発表、3万枚を超えるセールスを記録し、 最高のブラック・メタル・バンドとしての評価を得るようになる。その後またもギタリストの二人の PaulとキーボードのBenjaminが脱退、新たにStuart Anstisを ギタリストに、Damien Gregoriをキーボードに迎え、 96年にEP『Vempire Or Dark Faerytales...』を発表するのだが、金銭的なトラブルもあった 同レーベルとの契約をこのEPで終了させ(このEP自体が契約を打ち切るために作られたものである)、同年すぐにMUSIC FOR NATIONSと契約を結ぶ。
既にその音楽性と、きわどいマーチャンダイズ（悪名高い'Jesus Is A Cunt'と書かれたTシャツなどは 特に有名）で絶大な支持を得ていた彼らは、96年にセカンド・アルバム『Dusk And Her Embrace』を 発表する。この作品から新たにGian Pyresをギタリストに迎え入れ、聴くも恐ろしい世界観と扇情的な サウンドでその人気を一気に上げた。アルバム発表後も数々のツアーに出、97年にはオランダの DINAMO OPEN AIRやアメリカのMILWAUKEE METAL FESTなどに出演、そして初の来日公演を行うなど、 世界規模での活動で各地に信者を獲得するようになる。キーボードのDamienがバンドを脱退するが すぐさまLes Smithを迎え入れ、98年にサード・アルバム『Cruelty And The Beast』を発表、その 洗練されたソングライティングとさらに幅が広がった音楽性でブラック・メタル・シーンからより ポピュラーな存在へとその階段を駆け上がっていく。この作品は後にケルティック・クロスのケースに 入った限定盤が発売されたのだが、そこで使われている写真があまりにグロいため、発売禁止となる 国も出た。
99年始めにまずドラマーのNicholasが脱退（その後Dimmu Borgirに加入する）、その後何人かの ドラマーを経て、Adrian Erlandssonが加わり、まず初のビデオ・クリップとなる "From The Cradle To Enslave"を制作、史上最強の血にまみれたビデオクリップとの評価を得る。しかし その直後にギターのStuartとキーボードのLesがバンドを脱退、ギターにPaul Allenderを呼び戻し、 キーボード探しには難航したものの最終的にバンドの旧友であるMartin Powellを迎え、次作の制作に とりかかる。その間、8月に初のホームビデオ『PanDaemonAeon』のリリースを挟み、11月にEP 『From The Cradle To Enslave』を発表、そして翌2000年には4作目となる『Midian』を立て続けに リリース、まるで映画を見ているかのようなその世界観で世界中を熱狂させた。
新世紀に入るとまず 01年に『Bitter Suites To Succubi』なる企画盤を発表、彼らの悪名高いライヴ・パフォーマンスを 収録した初のライヴ音源『Live Bait For The Dead』をリリース、その間もツアーを行うなど活発に 活動を続る。この間にベースのRobinとギターのGianが脱退、新たにDave Pybusをベースに迎え入れる。
2003年、長年のパートナーであったMUSIC FOR NATIONSを離れ、メジャーのSONYとの契約を獲得、 通産5枚目となる壮大なコンセプト・アルバム『Damnation And A Day』を03年に発表。 このアルバムは聖書中の堕天使ルシファーを題材に、ブダペストの40人編成オーケストラ、32人のコーラス隊の協力を得て完成した77分を超える大作となる。 アルバムをサポートするためOZZFESTへの出演も含む100以上のツアーを行い、またブラック・メタル・バンドと しては初の快挙でもある米ビルボード・チャートにも登場する（最高位140位）。
そして2004年、バンドは新たにROADRUNNER RECORDSとワールドワイドの契約を結び、 プロデューサーにRob Caggianoを迎え、LEAVES’EYESのリヴ・クリスティンもゲスト参加した6作目となる『NYMPHETAMIN』を発表、その完成されたサウンドとパフォーマンスで、 MTVのVIVA LA BUMに出演するなど全米までも飲み込んだ大規模な活動を開始、結果こちらも快挙となる、 2005年グラミー賞において「ベスト・メタル・パフォーマンス」部門でタイトル曲「Nymphetamine Fix」が ノミネートされるなど、より大きな層から支持を受ける事となる。2005年にはライヴ映像作品 『PEACE THROUGH SUPERIOR FIREPOWER』を発表。
2005年後半から新作の準備に取り掛かる。前作同様Rob Caggianoをプロデュースに迎え、よりラウドに、 ハードに、ヘヴィに、ダークに進化した新たなCRADLE OF FILTHサウンドを聴かせてくれる7作目となる 『THORNOGRAPHY』を発表。
そして2008年、シリアル・キラーや悪魔主義者、伝説の殺人鬼をモチーフにした、バンド史上最も 残虐なテーマからなる作品『GODSPEED ON THE DEVIL'S THUNDER』をリリースする。
その後、Roadrunner Recordsを離脱。 自らのレーベルAbraCadaverが原盤を持ち、販売をPeaceville Recordsに委託という形で 9作目アルバム『DARKLY, DARKLY, VENUS AVERSA』を発表。
2011年にEP『Evermore Darkly』を発売。ツアードキュメンタリーとGraspop festivalでのライヴ、Lilith Immaculateの PVが入ったDVD付きである。
2012年の4月にクラシックアルバム『Midnight in the Labyrinth』 を発売。バンドの初期3作の曲がオーケストラに アレンジされて収録されている。
CRADLE OF FILTHの10作目、『The Manticore and Other Horrors,』 は2012年10月に 発売。Paul Allenderは「初期の2作のようなアルバムを出す。以前のような女性ボーカルと強力なメロディライン、 それにハーモニーを加えることを決意した。パンク指向のリフをかなり入れてみたら、かなり暗く、ハードコアになった。」と 語っている。
2014年の4月、Paul Allenderは自身のバンドWhite Empressに専念するためにCRADLE OF FILTHを 脱退。James McIlroyも怪我のためにバンドを離れる。新たにRichard ShawとMarek "Ashok" Šmerdaが セッションギタリストとして加入する。

バンドの紹介文(Amazonより)

現在もっとも注目されている英国産ブラック・メタル・バンド、クレイドル・オブ・フィルス。 『ダスク・アンド・ハー・エンブレイス』（96年）、『鬼女と野獣』（98年）など、 ヨーロッパ・オリエンテッドな悪魔的思想をふんだんに盛り込んだ名コンセプト・アルバムを次々と 発表し、絶大な支持を獲得している。
彼ら最大の魅力はそのエンターテインメント性にある。世界中のネガティヴィティを一身に 背負ったかのようなダーク・デス・ヴォイスと、過度にドラマチックなヘヴィ・サウンドが絡み合い、 生まれる恐怖のカタルシス。おばけ屋敷やホラー映画に近い雰囲気を十分体感できる。

ジャンルに関して

ポール・アレンダーの2006年インタビューより。
"We were never a black metal band. The only thing that catered to that was the make-up. Even when The Principle of Evil Made Flesh came out ? You look at Emperor and Burzum and all that stuff ? We didn't sound anything like that. The way that I see it is that we were, and still are now, an extreme metal band."
