My first Cradle song was "From The Cradle To Enslaved". I made a tape recording from a radio station that played heavy music one time per week. I immediately went and got Bittersuites. I have bought every album multiple times. I traveled hundreds of miles to see them live in Anaheim. I really enjoy your insight and interpretation of one of my favorite bands. Seriously, great work! Thank you.

Wow, that sounds awesome! It wasn't easy in those times to get a hold of music, for better or worse. Thank you for watching and for your great comment!

Mine was “her ghost in the fog ” back in 2005 , I received a DVD “peace through superior firepower “ was hooked since .. 🤟🏽🖤

Hi! I love your videos about CoF because you make me appreciate them even more. Midian was my first approach to CoF so for me is a very important album. I think your content is unique and you really deserve more subscribers. Keep going!

Thank you so much 🖤 Same here, and I see Midian was a lot of people's first contact with them.

First ofc was Her Ghost, i remember so vividly, middle of night on VH1, there used to be block with havy music every friday 10-12pm en once a month till like 4am. Was watching it religiously back to back....in kitchen to not wake family (lived ina 2 room+kitchen flat) on an 8'' black and white portable tv Oh lord, good old times

Haha that sounds awesome!

my highschool bf introduce COF to me and the first song was Her Ghost in the Fog. after that I fell in LOVE with the band. I was really into writing and poetry at the time and the Lyrics with Piano? that was the first time i ever heard a band use a piano and "strings" in their music. I was just like "why haven't i ever found this music before!?!"

That's lovely! Their lyrics and sound are very inspiring for someone writing poetry, especially at that age when you're still discovering and experimenting with your own lyrical voice. I was writing poetry in high school too, influenced by CoF and Romantic literature, and though I gradually realized prose was more my thing, I still "used" them as inspiration for their themes and wording (and sound, of course).

I could listen to you talk all day!

I rember at the age of 15 when ''Dusk an her embrace'' came out..i bought the cd which was in a small coffin case...then i put it on,not knowing anything about them..and my mind was blown away by the musicianship..i followed them since then and never regret it

I did the exact same. Bought the coffin. I heard a few tracks, then just bought it. Only other stuff I listened to back then was Samael, Emperor, Enslaved and Dimmu Borgir. I still have the cd and the coffin 30 years later.. I just wish I had treated it better when I was young.

Midian is the city hidden to protect the all so "fearsome" monsters. This song is derived from the 1990 movie 'Nightbreed'.

1:11 my first contact with Cradle Of Filth was with the first album, with _ Forest Whispers My Name_ . Since then, it was a non-stop listening until 2008. _Godspeed On The Devil's Thunder_ was the last album that, for me, made sense.

My first cradle of filth song was her ghost in the fog as was for many other people. The difference for me is that i was 9 at the time. cof pretty much defined my personality style since

Great analysis! I love how the camera is zoomed out and we can see more of your outfit and expressions. It makes the experience more immersive, like you’re talking to us in person! Great summary of what Satanism is and how it came to be! Lol yes the album cover does look somewhat cringe. Very 90s and early 2000s in terms of aesthetic! I love the imagery used here. The sunset, Eve serving Satan in that particular way!

I certainly hope you do Queen Of Winter Throned. That song has a darkness like no other.🖤 (and certainly a lot to dissect in the lyrics. I call the song “Vampyre Theatre”)

One thing I like about the album cover is that they still used real models for it. Instead of using CGI or cheap artwork, like in Godspeed, I wish they'd still have real people on the covers, like the first few albums

i dont know what song was my first they were recommended by several friends so i bought the EP from the cradle to enslave. lucky to see them at ozzfest for a few reasons 1) before or just about when nymphetamine came out and they turned to shit 2) saved all my lunch money from normal school year plus summer school was still $100 short. 3) still had to go to summer school that day got there right when they started 4) my buddys dad who drove us wanted to tailgate all day until ozzy went on 5) marilyn manson was banned from playing the "family friendly" venue, but black metal bands like C.O.F. and dimmu borgir played lol thank you dipshit organizers
