![REACTION!!! Cradle Of Filth - From the Cradle to Enslave (Uncensored) [Official Video]](/img/1.gif)
Yes, Cruelty and the beast, the whole album, is about Elizabeth Bathory
Also, aside from the women, all the voices are Dani's
Still probably their best album, IMO, although Vempire comes close.
yeah...indeed..all this album is a Dark Tribute about The Countess Bathory ( a same story to VENOM 's Black Metal Album)
Damned...my favorite song about Cradle since 20 years ago...
damned...i was forget to subscribe here...apologies both & keep Safe (salute from a old French metal guitar bassist)
🖤🤘🖤🤘
I mean dani filth is arguably one of the greatest song writers in a long time, he uses words I didn't know even existed lol
Hell yeah Cruelty and the Beast! Their best album in my opinion! I recommend you guys to react to Bathory Aria, it's the high point of the album!
100℅ dani filth on screams. Cradle has never had anyone else for screams. The female vocalist in this song is thier original female singer sarah.
Any male sound is Dani, not just screams.
@@deadandstilldying6o6 indeed😈
If I'm remembering my facts right. Sarah is the 2nd female singer. They brought her in on the Vempire album. 1st album was the original female but I forgot her name
Queen of winter throned
Funeral in Carpathia
Trust me u guys won't be dissapointed
Funeral in Carpathia is such a masterpiece
this man is unmatched for lyricism
Queen of winter throned is a mindblowing epic journey
Can we talk about how cool the make up is? I dig it lol
Classic Song! Great reaction. Dani is the only male singer in the band, has like 5 different singing techniques. His Banshee Scream, Growls, Guttural, Speaking Deep Voice, Whispers and i'm sure more. This Band makes music that takes you on a journey through story and music. Masterpieces!
If you like Speed and Trash, Please make sure to check out Queen of Winter Throned. It showcases All of Dani's Singing Styles and the instruments are Fucking Amazing!
The entire EP album Vempire is on Steroids! lol
Queen of winter throned imho is their most epic and amazing song ( it's more than a song really) and live is spine shivering and damn fucking heavy. Cradle genuinely are the most underrated metal band. Epic songwriter and Dani is a modern day poet / bard really. Please do this entire album it's a masterpiece and most definitely about Elizabeth bathory. He's written lots about her and other mystical/ mythic women from ancient history 🏴🇬🇧🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘👍
It's all Dani, he layers his lows and high together (or used to at least). The female voice is Sarah Jezebel Deva who has performed with them on numerous albums.
Love your COF week so far! I'm looking forward for next song! They have so many great albums and songs.... ''Queen of Winter, Throned'' is one of their biggest masterpieces....
Oh, guys! You are bringing me some very good memories with that whole CoF week! I was very much into their music in late 1990's early 2000's. Cruelty and the beast was the album that really got me into their music. I remember when friend of mine lent me that album on the cassette which sat in my stereo for weeks. Btw. Home back is not too far off from 800 likes, so we should get our double future quite soon :) Regards.
🖤🤘🖤🤘 yep might have to interrupt CoF for quick Jinjer video !
The storytelling is one of the main things I LOVE about this band. I love a good story told through music and is why I love bands like them, Ex Libris, Snow White Blood, Carach Angren, Progenie Terrestre Pura, Dark Sarah, and so many others.
I love that you guys like this. This is my favorite album from one of my favorite bands. Dani also makes up lots of words. He constantly combines 2 or more words into a new word that maybe should have existed before. Chimiracles. Phallelujah. Over there many albums, he's probably created words in the triple digits.
Voice recognition chose "there" instead of "their" in my comment above. Sorry.
Truly shakespearian
Cruelty and the Beast is what I would call a musical masterpiece.
A concept album written when the band were at the top of their game, far superior to their recent work, they've never created anything like it since, for want of trying.
It was heavily inspired by the Hammer Horror movies, and even features the Voicework of the late Ingrid Pitt on some tracks, which works fantastically.
From beginning to end, it's excellent, and whilst I know it wouldn't work for a reaction video, it really does benefit from listening to it all the way through, back to back, since it basically chronicles Elisabeth Báthory's rise and fall as the 'Blood Countess', in a way only that era of Cradle could capture.
Whilst it's difficult to recommend specific tracks, due to them all being highly recommendable, I would say it's worth looking for a video which combines both 'Once Upon Atrocity' and the subsequent track, 'Thirteen Autumns and a Widow', since they really are designed to be listened to from one straight into the other, and also it's one hell of a way to start an album.
It really sets the scene for what's to come.
Also; Cradle recently re-issued a 'remastered' version of the album, with more prominent drums etc. (they were originally a little weak sounding at times), but unfortunately they also nerfed the layers of keyboards which gave the original version its incredible atmosphere and made it what it was, so for that reason, I highly recommend you listen to the original first-off, especially if you enjoy the background atmospherics.
This will be a controversial opinion, because the drums were a point of ire for a lot of people (including Dani Filth), but in my opinion them taking a back seat to the atmospheric keyboards works really well, and it's a more than acceptable trade-off.
It's essentially the difference between the album sounding like it was recorded in a studio (reissue) vs an old cathedral (original).
Whatever you do, I highly recommend you revisit this album for your reactions at least once more, as it, along with 'Dusk...and Her Embrace' is easily the band's best work.
Their last 3 albums are amazing though, also I think the remixed version is better for Cruelty
@@omegazx7236 For me, the thick layers of atmospheric keyboards in the original make the album for me, so it's my personal go-to.
I liken it to sounding like it was recorded in an old cathedral, as opposed to the remaster sounding like it was recorded in a studio.
I like both though, and think it's great to have the two different takes on the same material to dip into, and completely respect your preference for the remaster, as it's definitely more refined.
Cruelty and the Beast if a fantastic album. Well done for spotting that the song's about Elizabeth Bathory. Fun fact - the spoken word part on The Twisted Nails of Faith is by Ingrid Pitt who was in Countess Dracula which based on the story of Elizabeth Bathory. I'm sure plenty of CoF fans are already aware of that ;)
Another Great React!!
Cruelty and the Beast which this song is off is a 10 part story of Elizabeth Bathory,
Dani is the Sole vocalist they have gone through a few different female vocalists through the years
i'll see you tomorrow for more :)
Thank you! See you tomorrow 😄🖤🤘🖤🤘
Dani does all male vocals... Sarah Jezebel Deva does the backing sexy enchantments
Dani has masters degree in english literature. He credits the likes of Keats, Byron, and Mary Shelly as influences and inspirations.
Actually he has no degree of any kind.
One of the first extreme metal albums and bands I took a liking to. Was heavily into King Diamond in my early teens. And discovering Dani, his lyrics, his voices and the music just blew my mind. Awesome reaction, you should do the entire album since it’s a whole story.
I had to like this even before you got to the song. Cruelty And The Beast is, to this day, one of my top ten albums - perhaps top 5. If you have yet to hear it, I do recommend that you listen to the Re-Mistressed release of the album. Remixes and remasters often fail to deliver, but what they did was make the album sound like it should have - and how many CoF fans try to remember it sounding. Most notable is how the drums finally sound and the improvement to Sarah's vocals, but everything else has been given the treatment it deserved so long ago before being maimed in the studio. As much as I love the album, it's hard to go back and listen to the original release now.
😂 serial killer spider senses tingling 😂
ye the whole album is about Elizabeth Bathory
😆😆something tells me Alice is going to like this album
I once watched a show where they said that Elizbet Bathory's execution, was that she was only allowed to sustain herself from pig's blood, and that it took three years for her to become sick enough to die from having to eat that way. Just yikes. Probably the most grotesque form of execution I've ever heard of. My vote today is
Doberman Pharoah
Oh and as far as I know, the only other vocalist they had at that time was their female backup vocalist, Sarah Jezebel Deva.
That is horrendous 😆 🖤🤘🖤🤘
Dani's vocal abilities are insane
its all dani, theres never another vocalist doing screams and growls, its all dani on every song, only sometimes different female vocalists :)
Oh Alice, lovin your eye make up, so flipping cool. Lookin like Monarch Butterfly design
Thank you🖤🤘🖤🤘🦋
My vote is for "Queen of winter throned" which is already mentioned in the comments ) Old CoF perhaps not the most technical but surely one of most atmospheric and theatrical.
BTW Opeth is the proper band for a person who prefer long songs with lot of stuff going on.
@ArsenicAndEspressoPodcast perhaps you would find this interesting:

Excellent vid, once again.
The album features guest narration on certain passages by Ingrid Pitt in-character as Báthory, a role she first played in the Hammer film Countess Dracula in 1971.
Yet another one, incredible track again from even more incredible album! Thank you so much!
It blows my mind to think I've been listening to this album for 25 years now... and it is STILL every bit as engrossing now as it was the very first time I heard it!
They actually remastered this whole album and it sounds incredible
Love you guys. Keep on this old COF reactions
Loved the Video, You guys should also do a song from their newest album, Cryptoriana, called Heartbreak and Séance
The gutural parts like the one at the end before the final scream are obviously subject of some sonic wizardry. There are effects processors that do these things - cinema is where these are most featured, like voices of monsters, etc. The rest is pure Dani Filth from the 90s. Awesome reaction. First time I see you guys and I already love you. Subscribed.
Cruelty and the Beast has some of CoF's best riffs imo. Lustmord and Wargasm has one of my favourite intro guitar riffs of all time...
I love this video guys. I also love your energy. Amazing
Got to do CRADLE OF FILTH- BATHORY ARIA (long, epic, song), CRADLE OF FILTH- TEMPTATION (short "beauty/beast" duet song should watch official video because its cradle and the visuals are great), CRADLE OF FILTH- LORD ABORTION (thrashier, faster song)
yes yes yes..
Bathory aria is so epic!! Love that song!
Queen of Winter Throned and Rape of Ruin of Angels. I promise you guys won't be disappointed. By far Dani's most Brutal Vocal performances and by far their heaviest tracks. Pretty much anything from Vempire is pure gold. The best way to describe it would be Cruelty being a nice little danish while Rape and Ruin is pretty much a whole steak dinner followed by a nice apple pie LOL. One of the few songs that I ever got to cover of theirs that actually tore my larynx and caused me to spend about a year relearning how to speak. His range is a lot higher then it is on this track.
This is my favourite album. I would love to see the Čachtice castle in Slovakia where she lived next time I'm in Europe.
Hopefully we get some From The Cradle To Enslave? first Cradle track I was exposed to and the video is a delight haha
I actually met dani filth at ozzfest 2002 I believe it was and all I had to do was pay 20 bucks to met him well I had to re buy there album damnation and a day. It was either spend my last 20 bucks or save it for food and i said nope I'm going to met cradle of filth. Dani was a super awsome guy and so was Sara the diva she gave me a big hug that was the best time of my life
always loved your cradle of filth reactions, sucks you guys dont post anymore.
Nick Barker has been in lots of other bands.
The Re-Mistressed (re-mastered) version, you can hear things just disturbingly clearer. Dani says it's the version of the album they wanted to put out but were limited by time and technology.
If you ever do a video with another song from the same album, please go with the "Re-Mistressed" version they put out in 2019. They remastered the sound so the album sounds so much better. With that in mind, go listen to Thirteen Autumns and a Widow or Lustmord and Wargasm (The Lick of Carnivorous Winds).
I suggest you next "malice through the looking glass" and "A gothic romance" by Cradle!
Love that the "Re-mistressed" this album
Cradle of Filth is so dope! Cruelty and the Beast is a long epic poem. He is a literary genius. Like John Milton or Shakespeare. This is an epic tale of the blood countess Ezhebet Bathory
This song vocals is only Dani. Nymphetomine fix features the lead singer of leaves eyes
The drummer is one of the best in that genre. His musical style is really cool and still very fast. Between this band, Dimmu Borgir and Old Mans Child he is def one of my favorites. COF is so epic and have always been great. They sound even better live!
Holy cow what a good song
COF lyrics are exquisite
Love your channel!! Yall are amazing!!
"Drum beat has been used by so many bands" yeah, thats a blast beat. Lol
Cradle of Filth - Babalon A.D. (So Glad for the Madness) is a masterpiece!
no other youtuber has ever reacted to this song, only the popular ones, plus it has a music video as well. It's the song that got me into CoF. I think you'd really enjoy this one, even more, the lyrics to it :D
Kudos for your Monarch Butterfly eye makeup!
Cradle's so amazing man, the voice, the lyrics..
Dani is the only lead vocalist and incorporate females but his vocals have layers check out mother of abomination and the smoke of her burning and cthulu dawn
This song is so so heavy. Goosebumps
The whole album is awesome. Its my favorite Cradle album, lots of great songs to check out. 13 Autumn's and a widow, twisted nails of fate & Bathory Aria are my favorites, but just about all the songs on Cruelty are great
ummm... "just about all"?
Name one song on the album that isn't good.
Aside from the female, all the vocals for Cradle are all Dani. Sometimes a bit processed, but it's still him.
One of my favorite pastimes is to look up words I didn't know from CoF lyrics.
This is the best reaction to this song on the internet.
Behind a veil of nostalgia, this is one of the best albums I grew up with.
That entire album is about Elizabeth Bathory and the cover has a woman in a bathtub full of blood on it lol.
The Rape and Ruin of Angels (Hosannas in Extremis)
So, just because you showed interest in the story of the countess Bathory and in female serial killers in general, I think I might just share a piece of history about a similar woman from my own country. In the XVIII century Russia there was a woman who is regarded as a "Russian Elizabeth Bathory", Darya Nikolayevna Saltykova commonly referred as Saltychikha. A noblewoman widow who inherited her deceased husband's mansion and sadistically tortured and killed her serfs. When all this became known to the empress Catherine the Great, she struggled to make a decision, since at that time the abolition of the death penalty was paraded. But the empress was so stunned about the atrocities this noblewoman committed especially to the young girls that she ordered Saltychikha to be locked down in a very small underground cell without a trace of light to be seen and even went as far as ordering her guards to never speak to her so that she couldn't have even a shadow of human interaction.
Pretty grim and unknown story, thought you might be interested to learn about this.
...and now I need to listen to the whole album...like for the 10000th time :)
Night at catafalque manor...go!
At 10:52 Alice's reaction to the More Whore More, Twitching Make Me Wet With Thee Carcass Rub Me Raw LMFAO 😂🤣
Christian Death week would bring the death rockers some joy or tears. I'll try to fit my remarks in one comment next time. Thanks guys
when I say no one, I think every black metal fan will tell you... NO ONE, can do it like Dani Filth does. I love behemoth, dimmu, Venom, and the list goes on and on. But no one can quite do it like Dani Filth. Legend.
I re-watch this so many times its stupid lol. You two are polite, kind, intelligent and honest and mixed with my favourite Cradle track is just.. hmm top tear.. thank you.. old gay guy from the UK x
Nope it's just Dani Filth.
That's his vocal range.
There are bits by Sarah Jezebel Diva. But other than that they didnt use guest vocals for this album other than Elizabeth Bathorys elder vocals in Bathory Aria.
Classic COF,, I listened to this album nonstop.- check out the Midian album
i love her hair
Cof is easily one of my favorite bands
Ah this was an excellent reaction. I died at the serial killer senses part 😂
I fucking LOVE this album. It’s such an excellent blend of thrash and dark metal with just a hint of the very gothic and orchestral sounds that were to become much more present on future albums.
I just wish this album (and Dusk) and maybe Midian, were recorded with late 2000’s/2010’s quality. Even on the remastered album there are some sections where everything is a bit jumbled.
Vempire is an old Ep English Import…If you can find it, a reaction would crush it…Just to change things up, an Asian perspective on Black/Death Metal might be cool…Suggest Taiwanese Band CHTHONIC, Millennia’s Faith Undone…Official Video is here on RUclips…Sung in Taiwanese with English Subtitles…Obviously, Lyrics focus on Their cultural themes…
Great suggestions. Thank you!
I like your butterfl-eyes
The twisted nails of faith
The style is beautiful horror. I highly suggest Lord of abortion live at Birmingham to really get a feel of how their age and presence is betrayed at their peak talent. Some other great songs they have made are All hope in eclipse, the cult of Venus aversa(this is very halloweeny), lustmord and wargasm, darkness incarnate, tragic kingdom, and if you want to see their first and foremost biggest song it's again better heard life at Birmingham (the principle of evil made flesh and dusk and her embrace. This is when they more identified with black metal)
Looking forward to more!
Cradle of filth, promise of fever, you’re welcome.
Yeah, this album is totally dedicated to Erzebeth (Elizabeth ) Bathory. All voices are from him with the exception of the female ones. In Bathory Aria, and if you enjoy movies, there was a movie about Elizabeth portrayed by Ingrid Pitt (Late 70) and she agree to sing in the album . In music 7 there is also a part where she says a verse or so. They do a lot of concept albuns. Look at the albuns and you can check it. Midian is also about mythos of cthulhu and clive barker and such. Ther eis one about giles de rais, etc... and the lyrics? My god. I doubt there exists a better song writer than Dani (all lyrics from all albuns are his)
I saw them several times in concert, believe it or not, Dani is the only vocalist
Really loving this COF week! Definitely recommend Bathory Aria! Its a bit long, but definitely worth checking out!
More Cradle of filth!!
I recomand also: dusk and her embrence, Midian and principale of evil made flesh albums
All i can hear is Cartman from southpark when he screams the chorus.
Hey guys tourniquet of topaz glistened at her throat means she was strangled
The Rape and Ruin of Angels - one of their best
Another one is called Bathory aria.
sarah and dani. In their prime. Twisted nails of faith next
Bathory would also take girls out, in the middle of winter, naked, below freezing temps, and pouring water on them until they froze to death.
Absolutely insane
@@ArsenicAndEspressoPodcast hell yeah, cold blooded (dunno yet if pun intended or not, have not decided 😁)
😆😂🤣
Greetings from Guam! You REALLY need to check out Lilith Immaculate! The video is totally Bathory-esq & you'll LOVE it. 👍
Woop woop, can’t wait for the skynd columnbine reactions
Awesome video. I like your reaction and thoughts! I suggest finding better sources for the lyrics though. There are a few words wrong here and there. Darklyrics is a good source, FYI :)
Cool review, love the wild make up. Hot! Please listen to dusk and her embrace, best album ever 🤘
Dani filth is the greatest lyricist and vocalist in extreme metal.
He has written more than one song a Elizabeth Bathory.
React to Thirteen Autumns and a Widow! It's another classic song from this album! 🤘🏻😈
"...and to her dead reflection twas as if her pallor gleamed"
The real CoF style.
This is by far their best album, and Bathory Aria is a twisted song that Dani Filth wrote about wanting to be there with her when she was locked up in the castle.
Listening to this album beginning to end is a must. The intro track into the first song is epic, and following the story is awesome.
On the topic of “story” albums: King Diamonds ‘Them’ is arguably the greatest story album ever.
If you dig "Them" by King Diamond, you should also check out the album "Conspiracy". It's a sequel to "Them". Also, "Abigail", and Voodoo" are great KD concept albums.
@@ronin4713 thanks, but I’ve already heard every KD and Merciful Fate album in their entirety about a thousand times each. Lol
‘Them’ just happens to be my favorite. 😁
@@i.r.drummer Right on... Cheers, mate!
🤘😆🤘
