The Definitive Guide to the Dark Side! The world's most successful Black Metal band, Cradle of Filth, have transcended the genre's cult boundaries to grace the covers of countless magazines and sell hundreds of thousands of albums. Their unique vision artfully combines Hammer horror style schlock, dripping with eroticism, backed by an authentic interest in the Black Arts, creating an ethos which is both tempting and terrifying.
