  • This is my 2024 live concert review of Cradle of Filth from their live show in Plzen in the Czech Republic. Cradle of Filth are an Extreme Metal band fron England that play black metal with gothic metal influence. In this video I discuss the band performance, how the sound quality was, the setlist and crowd engagement from Dani Filth, and give my rating and reaction to this gig.

    I saw Cradle of Filth at a small venue in San Francisco in the late 2000s. They put on a killer show. Great sound mixing, lots of crowd work, and everyone was moshing. It was definitely more energetic.

    I also have a ticket for their show next week and hope to see them in better light. The last time I’ve seen Cradle was in October 2022 at the O2 in London. The show was great. They have promoted afterparty weeks before their gig and that they’ll be there. Alas, nobody from them appeared. Their merchandise is a bit more expensive than any other bands…Seen CoF many times and I’m still looking forward for one more time.

    My brother saw Cradle of Filth at Ozzfest once, and he said he temporarily lost his hearing while they were playing. He started to hear a ringing in his ears, and then absolutely nothing. But his hearing came back eventually.

    Cradle was best when Paul Allender was in the band! Paul Allender wrote the music on the albums he played on. As much as I like Dani Filth in Devilment, Cradle is not even close to being as great as they were without the FANTASTIC PAUL ALLENDER!!!!

  • @Yero666
    @Yero666 7 месяцев назад +2

    I was there.. I was shocked that guitarist and drummer (both czech) say nothing to the crowd.. made no hype etc.. but Dani was good

    • @metalandrockzone
      @metalandrockzone  7 месяцев назад +2

      Yes with two Czechs there in the band they could have gotten the crowd go mad, just 1-2 minutes and we would all have been eating from their hands... weird that they did nothing.

  • @ReichDerDornen
    @ReichDerDornen 7 месяцев назад +2

    Thing is, CoF just doesnt work live. Thats the reason. Their music is just too overwhelming to handle. Be it the sound guy who has to do his job, be it the crowd who has to find a rythm or a chorus to bang along.

    • @metalandrockzone
      @metalandrockzone  7 месяцев назад

      Yes, in some of the songs I got a feeling, they were trying to push through too many sounds at the same time thanks for watching

    As a casual CoF enjoyer I enjoyed the show, although in the beginning I found the sound kinda lacking and I agree that Wednesday 13 were much better with the horrible crowd.

    • @metalandrockzone
      @metalandrockzone  7 месяцев назад

      Yes crowds here have a tendency to be dull but on the other hand with two czechs in the band I sort of thought it would be different this time around. Thanks for watching.

    I saw them on the 28th of February in Bucharest, Romania, and soundwise there was something off, indeed. For me, the drums and the bass were way too loud and I could barely hear the guitars and keyboards. I was standing pretty much in the front of the stage ( I think the 10th row from the stage) and yes, the sound was a little bit muffled. It probably has to do with both their sound guy and his pre-settings and with the actual acoustics of the venue. I don't know whether bands, when they tour, come equipped with their own speakers and monitors, but something needs to be done on that front. Interstingly, Wednesday 13 sounded a bit better, in my estimation. In Bucharest, the crowd was pretty much energetic and there were no incidents between Dani and people in the audience. There are clips on youtube filmed with I- phones and they sound way better. I think I will use earphones next time. Maybe my ears are too sensitive, who knows?

    • @metalandrockzone
      @metalandrockzone  7 месяцев назад

      Usually the engineers get some information about the equipment there and then use the sound checks to get it right. You are sort of describing the same thing as what happened there in Plzen so I think that they might just be travelling with the wrong presets or they just want this sound. Thanks for watching.

    I saw them a few months back in Milwaukee, and it was kinda meh. The place was half empty, which surprised me for a band that's been around as long as they have. And the set list favored their newer material, skipping lots of their classics from older albums, so a lot of the songs didn't get a big reaction from most of the crowd.

    • @metalandrockzone
      @metalandrockzone  7 месяцев назад

      It was then similar to here, apart from it was sold out here but very bland atmo, well and the setlist here was fine. thanks for watching

    I saw them 2 days ago in Bratislava, had the same negative experience regarding muffled sound, it sounded like they played behind the wall

    • @metalandrockzone
      @metalandrockzone  6 месяцев назад +1

      Yes I just met a guy who was at the same gig as me but was right at the front, he said the same. So there is something I guess in their presets or setup that makes it bad which is a pity as this band is really good. Thanks for watching.

      I saw them in cincinnati in 2022 and 23. First time it was impressively loud. Second time it was exactly how this is described. Muffled. It sounded like something was wrong. They need to fire the sound guy.

    I like Cradle and have seen them quite a few times over the past 25+ years, but, sadly, their shows have often been disappointing.
    Last time I saw them in 2015 and I thought they were surprisingly good: good atmosphere, good interaction, band motivated and working well together (the latter not always having been the case).

    • @metalandrockzone

    Their drummer is not very good live. He plays to a click track and triggers his bass drums live. The rest of the kit is acoustic, it leads to a weird mix.

    This is a shame. I saw them in New York when they played all of Cruelty and the crowd was going fucking insane (myself included). It had a great sound as well.
    At least you got a great setlist!
