The stage tonight was barren sans the band which to me speaks volumes about Dani’s faith that the fans are there to see them, hear the dirges and not wanting to be distracted by a bunch of secondary hype.Belched from Hell’s depths into the rustic charms of the Witch County, Suffolk thirty long and disturbing years ago, CRADLE OF FILTH are undisputed giants of the heavy metal realm. Dani has built so much into the band and the way he delivers the classic Filth is immeasurable. Now COF would not be able to be a live band without the stuff their fans need them to deliver and that is the sinister Gilded Cunt, From Cradle To Enslave, Nymphetamine as well as Lord Abortion and The Principle Of Evil Made Flesh. Blackest Magick In Practice along with Right Wing Of The Garden Triptych and Yours Immortally brought the new album to life on stage and the new guys in the band cemented their place in the COF legacy. Dani and Cradle have absolutely one of their best albums out right now in the form of Hammer Of The Witches and what they unleashed on Sacramento from that was just brutal. They have always delivered their brand of darkness well and tonight was no exception.
I have been covering Cradle for about 15 years now and I have never been disappointed with their live set, ever. With Cradle you either love them or hate them and I fall on the side of the former. Unleashing Igniter, National Bloody Anthem as well as Magnolia Blvd and Axe Wound, they made their ominous presence felt and metal was a lot heavier with them slinging it out.Ĭradle Of Filth, what can be said that hasn’t already been said, or screamed, about them. Opening up for Cradle Of Filth gave them a challenge to be darker and edgier and they took that and ran. They mean business when they deal out an album and with the likes of Monsters Ball, Dead Man Walking, and Blood Soaked Hero they did just that.
#Cradle of filth sacramento full
For the last several years they have been paying their dues and it has culminated in the form of their 2nd full length album, Take It Like A Man, an album full of anger and rancor that will bow even the heaviest of metal head.
Fronted by Carla Harvey and Heidi Shepherd, this troupe of villainous metal freaks literally decimate every stage they come in contact with and leave nothing behind but the bloodshed and broken bodies in their wake. You NEED to explore Ne Obliviscaris, period.īutcher Babies, now that is a different animal all together. Also gleamed from Citadel was the monstrous Painters Of The Tempest(part II), a palette that was well painted on and left jaws dropped. Mixing elements of prog, black, death as well as classical, this band is brandishing a huge sword that will pave the way for more bands like them to follow suit. Whereas they are perceived as a death metal band, they have so much to offer musically.
Coming out with Devour Me, Colossus Part 1, they had the attendance on their ears and completely enthralled with what they had to offer. They are out supporting their sinister LP Citadel and were a refreshing site to behold live. Opening the night was a slice of darkness that I had yet to lay my eyes on, Australia’s own Ne Obliviscaris. Joining Cradle on this outing were none other than the Butcher Babies who create a freakish noise in their own right as well as the Australian progressive black/death metal band Ne Obliviscaris, who were a definitive highlight on this tour. Cradle has been doing this for over 20 years now and seemingly there is no stopping Dani Filth and his freakish troupe. When Cradle Of Filth announces a tour it means an instant packed theater that will be waiting for their intense presence to grace the stage.
