Actually, I'd love to watch you look at Dani's lyrics. He is a master poet.
Agree
Once poet laureate of England,
A title once held by Shakespeare
Love his lyrics
i agree with you
everything from Cruelty and the Beast is absolute lyrical perfection
As others have said, that's Liv Kristine. She got nominated for a Grammy Award for this performance! She was in Theatre of Tragedy back in the 90's and they were of the first for "Beauty and the Beast" style vocal duets. Was with Leave's Eyes after that, and now she's a folk metal band named Midnattsol with her sister Carmen.
Liv Kristine is awesome singer really good
Liv Krintine is absolutely amazing. I love her vocals in A Distance There Is.
"Her ghost in the fog" was the song that drew me to them as a teenager. Beautiful.
Same, just watching it on Krange! They just drew me in and been a cradle fan since.
Same!!!! Her ghost in the fog is such a beautiful song!!! ❤
I just randomly saw Nymphetamine on a store shelf, had never heard of CoF, but something inside me said to buy it and I did. Only time I bought music without hearing it first, I don't know how my instincts knew it would be amazing, but it was.
@@Inariann, Dani Filth sings poetically. His lyrics and vocal capabilities are amazing!
_\__/
Another vote vor "her ghost in the fog" or "cthulhu dawn", "born in a burial gown", etc. His voice range is amazing!
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Danis vocals are legendary.
5 octaves of pure vocal power!!
I would say were legendary. To me it’s an example of how you can destroy your voice by using wrong technique. The early stuff was great and he obviously can’t sing like that anymore.
@@jip5889 Listen to She is a Fire
@@jip5889 bro what???? I just saw him last year his voice has aged fine
The “Ovwrdose” version was my gateway to metal. I was trapped in a car with a metalhead and he said just give me two songs lol. This and “Nemesis” by Arch Enemy.
@mundanemorselsmundanemorse7028 Yeah those are the weakest metal songs ever.
Finally someone reacting to Cradle of Filth, I feel like they're an untapped gold mine for reactions. we need more!
Liv Kristine. That's the name of the female singer. She used to be, a very long time ago, the singer of Theater of Tragedy, which was the band who started this style, the so called "Beauty and the Beast", inspired obviously on the Phantom of the Opera: a very distorted male vocalist and an angelic voiced female vocalist. Ironically, it is when Kristine joined the band(she wasn't a founding member) that they start it, with an album where the male vocalist actually uses no distortion. The album's name is "Aegis", and it is really good, worthy of listening it all the songs in order. That was back in...1998, if my memory doesn't fail me...
Aegis was their third album with Liv...
Cradle has been doing this style longer though. Their first album, Principle of Evil Made Flesh, was released in '94 and featured Andrea Meyer doing the beauty vocals. To my recollection no other extreme metal band had done this before but it's been in music for ages and it can't be cited as starting this concept if it's been a part of music for literally eons. You can say that in this genre, second wave black metal, Cradle did bring it to a larger audience and they were the first British black metal band historically. They formed in 1991, well before extreme metal was as commercially viable as it is now. I think people forget how old this band actually is. This song itself is from their 2004 album, Nymphetamine, which they received a Grammy nomination for this video. It's 17 years old this year. The band is 30 years old now and Dani still sounds excellent live. I've seen them live 4 times now and they're excellent. He sounds unreal live. His highs are almost ear shattering and the lows are just as intense. I know that sometime in 2014 he started going to an opera coach to gain more control of his whistle ranges and to preserve his voice better because in the beginning he was just winging it and since he has a unique style there's not a lot of options for coaches in this style especially since death metal vocals weren't recognized as a style until the 90s when he started around the same time as the band Death who just developed the recording technique for recording death metal in a better production quality value so that it didn't just sound like mud. This is why early black metal is referred to as potato metal because the production quality is terrible. That changed when Chuck developed the techniques used to record extreme metal. So if you listen to the demos Cradle did in 91 and onward until their first release in 94 the sounds are vastly different. From 94 onwards the production quality has gotten better over time.
No, Liv Kristine was a member of Theatre of Tragedy since theyr first album
Female vocalist is Liv Kristine and she has amazing vocal rage as well. Do review her vocals in A Distance There Is by Theatre Of Tragedy
“This is kind of spooky” I got into the band at maybe 13-14 and I thank my lucky stars that this was the video I caught, because this is tame for them, they can get very creepy and outright into slasher film territory with the music videos, but they are really really good. And I also have never found (in my very limited very tone deaf journey) anyone who growls like Dani does, incredible growlers out there, no one like him yet.
The first song I heard was dusk and her embrace and I was instantly in love x)
@@AkashaWingates I stumbled onto them when I was a teen. There was a MTV headbangers ball type album with all sorts of bands on it. It happened to have Medusa and Hemlock on it and went down the rabbit hole from there.
Hello this is a late comment but they actually have made a slasher movie that's called "cradle of fear"! But quite frankly appart from the "sick room" part, it pretty much is terribly bad
more like snuff film rather than slasher
The singer (Danny) is actually a very shy person. Gotta love artists who change completely on stage :-)
Just growling is Level 1,
Level 2 is growl singing, building a melody.
Level 3 is emitting growl and voice at once. Extremely difficult. He can do that.
Timestamp?
@@srr1887In this song Dani starts with such vocal. Another example is the chorus of Fields of the Nephilim "Love Under Will". It is possible that two vocals were mixed in a studio, because it doesn't sound so full when they are playing live ruclips.net/video/duehJm4_noM/видео.htmlsi=5WSeoNWrUaQGQfYq?t=196
Love this song, just like "temptation" great more accesseble songs from Cradle. As for his vocal range i would go for older stuff like "Cruelty brought the Orchids"
Cradle takes a bit to get into, but, they are pretty good at what they do.
“Is this Dani Filth?” Cracked me up . Great reaction and inputs
For an upgrade probably infant annihilator - Blasphemian perhaps
Blasphemian? Are you trying to kill this nice man?
I've had the pleasure of seeing these guys live and managing to be at the front. Dani is just as good live and his voice has just aged so well. I also have the bonus of coming from the same part of England as him, although its hilarious as you wouldn't expect that speaking voice to come out 🤣 I'd love to see your opinion on their newer stuff
I was able to see them at Bloodstock this year and it was definitely very impressive to hear Dani's voice live
This! I’ve seen clips of him performing live but all those times he was kinda growling/projecting when he talked too? And then once I caught an interview and I was like… sir, who are you?! Also, I’m not an English native speaker, I didn’t catch the accent when he was singing so that interview was double wtf.
@@AwakingOceanborn it's funny because as a native to the area, I can tell you his singing voice doesn't really show his accent even to us, it's why I sometimes forget and have the same taken aback feeling for a few secs 🤣 Especially as his stage speakjng voice still a little different to his interview/"normal" voice, where you can hear the accent a bit more but he's still growling and not as light
When I was 15 I thought Cradle of Filth were such posers. Now at 32 I really appreciate them musically and feel Dani Filth's vocals are one of a kind, but I also listen to them with "pop music ears". Most metalheads would kill me for saying the latter though. :')
Lol. I've loved them since Her Ghost.
An absolute masterpiece and Danis vocals are untouchable.
@Chunaduaialwen 15 year olds are posers in general, they don't even know who they are yet or what life's all about. Heck, their brains are still developing. :')
Why do you think that was?
Similar age and timeline for me, as well as the change in opinion, but I can't quite put my finger of why I'd thought of them as posers.
@@alejandroruiz7710 I was listening to a lot of low-fi black metal at the time, so I think the quality production bothered me. Also: symphonic elements, those weren't "metal enough". I was really cringe when I was 15. :')
I still don't like overproduced rock music though. Some producers need to get a restraining order to stay away from the compressor...
@@alejandroruiz7710 oh it was us being teens and thinking anything popular was "UGH, SO NEG".
This song is a wonderful poem!
Man great call by Adam V!!! I would love to see more from Cradle of filth!! I was always curious why people thought it was weird, that I was able to sing similar to this.
Not the best CoF track, but not the worst! I would highly recommend Her Ghost in the Fog, or Born in a Burial Gown. Or pretty much any track from the newest album!
Her ghost in the fog was the first cof song I heard x
Imho "Twisted Nails Of Faith" is the best COF song in their entire catalogue
@@wiederganger1959 in my opinion i think From the Cradle to Enslave or Beneath the Howling Stars are the best
Cruelty brought thee orchids is a masterpiece.
@@scaredeecat agree. The whole album Cruelty and The Beast, lyrically and sonically is probably the best of any album ever produced.
Now this is something I've been waiting for!
So glad you reviewed his vocals .. love them
Definitely another vote for their version of hallowed be thy name.... I love watching your reactions on here x
The Blond Girl is Liv Kristine Espænaes, she was the female Frontsinger at Theatre of Tragedy ( As i remember only for the First two Albums) and, at Leaves Eyes, she also released some Solo Albums.
I’m new to your channel and absolutely love it. With your extensive knowledge of music you floored me with your description of Dani’s lower octave growl. You said Cookie Monster and I bust out laughing. I played flute, piccolo, and alto flute in school. And I enjoy you down to earth way of reviewing my favorite songs. You are a breath of fresh air. Thank you Sir for sharing this with us unwashed masses. Blessed be.
YES! Amazing that you are reacting to this. Cradle has been one of my favorite bands since I was 17. Thank you.
cannot recommend her ghost in the fog enough, if you want to really hear the dynamic of his vocal range.
Love this song
It's also really worth listening to Cradle of Filth's cover of Hallowed be thy Name.
Glad you started with my favourite Cradle of Filth song!
If you like juxtapositions of growls and choral female vocals, check out Paradise Lost's As I Die, or Gothic, or The Painless.
The female singer here is Liv Kristine. Cradle goes through their female singers really fast, they're on their 6th or 7th right now I think. This is my favourite song despite the band not being my favourite (they're like- 2nd or 3rd)
I grow up hearing cradle of filth, Children of bodom etc.. My childhood my memories😍😍😍
Another vote for her ghost in the fog. Amazing to see someone unfamiliar with cradle .
your awesome thank you so much for sharing !
Masterpiece..🤘
Cradle of Filth - Burn in the burial gown ))
The blonde singer is Liv Christine, and she participated at Theatre of Tragedy, their album Aegis is a pure magic!
Great reaction universal blessing 🤘🏼☄️🖤
Hello, i know this band but i never hear a song ! But now After i hear this song, i wanna hear more from this band, thank you very very much ! Greatings from germany ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
Welcome to the coven Eva :D
Probably one of their tamer songs. Cruelty brought the orchids or Cradle ro enslave show more of that powerful scream technique. He does it so well
Dani's vocals in the "Principle of Evil made flesh" made it the best Cradle of Filth's album.
Even nowadays is a Classic !
Not a huge fan of them, but I never get sick of this song.
Older tracks by Cradle of Filth like Queen of Winter Throned features Dani singing entire verses at that super high register. Try listening to it and see what you think.
Fawking goosebumps when he comes in......astounding!
Nemesis by Cradle of Filth is my go to. It literally makes me want to grab a battle axe and head into a city on horseback
"Cookie Monster" is very accurate. People call them cookie monster vocals anyways. The Blonde girl is Liv Kristine. She is actually from another band called Leaves Eyes. Cradle usually has a female vocalist in the band but at the time of this record Sarah Jezebel Diva was experimenting with her own solo project. So they had their friend Liv cover for her and in the video. The original "Nymphetamine" song features a 4 min extension with Sarah singing instead of Liv.
Been following you for a while but never subscribed. I am ecstatic that you've shared this. I absolutely love cradle of filth, I've been listening to them for over 15 years now :) you have my subscription sir!
Hope to see more heavy songs on here in the future.
Ps. I'm hoping that's his personal microphone xD
maybe try to listen a live of the band for really understand the vocal capacity of Dani
The girl is Liv kristine ( ex- theatre of tragedy )
This track doesn’t really show his range off. Listen to something off cruelty and the beast and you’ll hear extreme highs etc.
It is the yardstick for Cradle. Sadly they never did better. "Cruelty brought thee orchids" should be the one.
BTW, the girl that is singing at the beginning is Liv Kristine, former vocalist for the metal band Leave's Eyes. She also used to sing for Theatre of Tragedy.
Ahhh💙 Thank you for doing Cradle
Everyone reacts to nymphetamine because it's their friendlier song to listen to, great song- just not the best to analyze Dani's vocals.
If you're looking to get into Cradle again...
Necromantic Fantasies
Her ghost in the fog
Cruelty Brought thee orchids
Crawling king chaos
I'm going to listen to those now, thanks!!
nah, these would be the tracks I'd recommend for Dani's voice range
Nocturnal Supremacy,
The Forest Whispers thy Name
The Principle of Evil Made Flesh (Bitter Suites version)
You Will Know The Lion By it's Claws
First 28 mins after upload! Yayyyy 500% here to groove @7:30am
Hahahaha holy shit, I laughed so hard when you asked if this female singer was Dani :D
Ooooo Dany can scream ,this was just a peak of iceberg😂😂😂
If you listen to the song many times Dani's voice became clearer and easy to understand on what he's saying.
Stop licking the mic dude lmao. The girl's Liv Kristine, not part of the band
If you want to hear a high scream, hear the full version of the song off the album
Seeing Cradle live is an experience. Equal parts master musicians and theatrics.
“I remember the way
We were needle and spoon
Mislayed in the
Burning bay”
Gets me every time
Awesome video. I would enjoy your take on In This Moment - Next Life.
When I first heard cradle I though there were separate guys doing growly and screechy voices.
Seeing him do that live is pretty impressive.
I never wanted to be a microphone so bad in my life 😍
Your growl went into Grover mode, LOL.
reminded me of the voice I use when reading books to my kids.
Gran pezzo 🔥🤘💪🏼un saluto dal Italia 🤘💪🏼🔥
Absinthe with Faust has one of his best screams, well worth a listen!
I'm taking my 17 year old daughter in Perth, her first metal show
From the cradle to enslave has always been my favorite song by cradle of filth.
Very glad to see a pro vocal coach delve into the myriad vocal parts on this tune, and be aware of the broad selection of them. It’s a song I’ve wanted to suggest to different professionals, but by and large refrain from since the official video isn’t so family-friendly. Dani is primarily known for his very extended range as a vocalist, and in particular his super-high screams.
ruclips.net/video/MW7A8aFqmWU/видео.html
We need more Cradle of filth!
Also you should take a look at the lyrics, dani filth really is a lyrical genius
I would so love to see you giving these kinds of high pitched vocals a shot. I feel like Danis vocals while they may have not aged well (particularly his voice) are still very unique. I dont think I have heard any vocalist come close to this.
ruclips.net/video/MW7A8aFqmWU/видео.html
It takes a while bit once your ears start to hear more than the growl and make out the words it's awesome
Living Colour - cult of personality
Skillet - awake and alive
Böhse onkelz - terpentin
Seether - remedy
In Flames - pinball map or Episode 666
Avenged sevenfold - bat country
Soulfly - Seek n strike
Please 🙏
First, great reaction and professional input, just got to love all thsi.
About that high pitch scream, Dani does it ALOT in their early records. I suppose it resonates well with the ideas taken from vampire tales / legends as the lyrics are.
Another band, who does this high pitch thing is Hecate Entrhoned. Tehy were, back in the days, the "rival" band for CoF, but never succeeded as Cradle did. Great band anyway and they too, released a new album few years back.
Check them out, just for reference for some really high pitch singing (cookie monster style OFC).
Thanks for this awesome content!!
I am huge fan of high vocals. Just recently found out Hecate Entrhoned and they are amazing! It's crazy how I keep finding old stuff for the first time after years of listening to this shit.
Other high vocal bands that first comes to mind that I like: Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult, Helheim, Nazgul
Hecate wasn't a rival of Cradle it was literally formed from a former member of Cradle of Filth after he left and took material with him. The band never went far though and that member became a promoter and later on was actually a promoter for Cradle of Filth. Cradle didn't really have rivals they spawned other bands like them when members left or were fired. For instance Dimmu wouldn't still be in existence without Galder ending Old Man's Child after hearing Cradle of Filth and then formed Dimmu inspired by Cradle of Filth. Then after Cradle fired their drummer he joined Dimmu before Dimmu was about to collapse due to lack of members. If he hadn't joined them they wouldn't have made their biggest album, Progenies of the Great Apocalypse, which "rivaled" Cradle's album Nymphetamine in 2004. Cradle has been around for a very long time in the music industry and is an unsung historically important band in metal. Another example is that Richard, current member and guitarist, was the guitar teacher for one of the members of Trivium who arguably started the jent trend in metal. In their own right Trivium has become a big name in metal. Cradle has also been the only metal band to use film studios for their music videos, the first extreme metal band to use full orchestras in their albums not just live, the only extreme metal band to have a horror movie starring, written, and produced by the members themselves, the only band to have circus performers on stage with them and on tour with them, etc etc. The lists of their accomplishments is unreal for not being recognized for anything...
Dani learned the high pitch screams from the former vocalist of hecate enthroned.
Hey, I appreciate your videos and would love to hear your opinion on the vocals of Leprous - Castaway Angels
Yes, the male singer is Dani Filth...... Check out 'Hallowed be thy name' by the same band instead of the iron maiden version.
And do review Unholy Confessions by A7X too
A7x are trash
Saw the song, clicked like, watched the video.
A suggestion of a singer songwriter who virtually never gets looked at, any Faith Marie. Personal favourites being "More than I Am" "NVM" "Dig the Crazy" and "Figure it Out"
Greetings from Guam. Oh, you gotta dive right in. Give their video Lilith Immaculate a go!
Ken, he IS thinking of the next person; that's why he licks the mic. :) Great commentary on this one. There are certainly some interesting vocal timbres on display.
Damnation and a day was one of the greatest albums ever.
Love CoF so much. Dani is amazing, and a great poet (would def watch you read his lyrics)
as others have said, "Her Ghost In The Fog" would be another great track for ya.
I'd like to point out that the individual who LOOKS like a broad at the VERY on the sing and who SOUNDS like a broad actually IS a broad. At the time of the filming/recording of this video, which followed the recording of the actual song for the album, this broad was the singer/front woman for the band Leaves Eyes
"Yours Immortally" has great examples of Dani's highest screams. Sounds like a whistle with added distortion.
DUDE this is the new stuff. watch "Her Ghost in the FOG"
Hey Ken great channel , i love how open to different musical genre you are I try to be that way myself as well . A song you should check out (totally unrelated to this one) is Break In by Lizzy Hale and Amy Lee , absolutely stunning vocals imho . Another cool Cradle Of Filth song is their cover of Hallowed Be Thy Name (Originally by Maiden) any way thanks for all the videos , always entertaining and informative
Nice Vid.
Yea, another great track is Cradle of filth is "Her gost in the fog" there you can hear his vocal range. (not the official music video, the actual song is longer and the song has great ending)
I know this is like a 4 weeks old video, and so it's probably already has been said. If so, here it is again. The blonde woman is Liv Kristine (my mind escapes me now as to in which band she's singing in now as I'm writing this) but she's not in Cradle of Filth as a "full time member" but made a guest appearence for this one.
Have you ever listened to the Cake version of I Will Survive?
I saw Dani in concert, his voice is equal to albums. He's amazing.
Definitely not
@@wm1573 agreed def not, live is not even close to studio
@@SheikMMONot nowadays but they had a dvd with this song performed live that was really close to the studio version.
Liv Christine also performed at the Berlin Opera. I don't know if he still works there.
PLEASE I want to hear your opinions concerning the song "Mr Gringe" from the band "Small town giants". I love your work, keep it up!
I’m just waiting. For you know what.
Bathory Aria gets my vote. It's about Elizabeth Bathory (one of the inspirations for vampire lore).
I would love to see a reaction to Kurt Nilsen performing Firestone with Kygo. As the one and only winner of the world idol contest Kurt Nilsen has gone under the radar for the most part, but his voice is most certainly worth checking out.
definitely check out the recommendations of their older tracks but one of their newest 'Crawling King Chaos' as well. Or instead lol. Better examples of what he can do. When it comes to Dani's highest screamy sounds, I almost feel like he's often doing a weird Inhale type of technique. ie - the start of Necromantic Fantasies.
I can high pitch screen like Filth. I just learned it easy while i was a kid
just from liking Cradle Of Filth so much. lol : )
Some other CoF goodies I haven't seen mentioned: Mannequin, Babylon a.d., from the cradle to enslave.
Man, if you want more of what Dani can do Cemetery and Sundown and Succumb to This are must listens. They’re cover of Hallow be Thy Name is excellent as well
You should hear them live
Cradle to Enslave gives a better example of Dani's vocal abilities. If you are going to do that song you may want to watch it first before deciding to do it for a video.
🔥🔥👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻💯💯
"This is kind of spooky"
Lol
