Yo estuve allí…Show Cradle of Filth 12/12/2000


A long time ago, in the glorious days when black metal reigns into the metal music Cradle of Filth make a great show in the dark Barcelona.
Those vampires arrives rapping the throne of the old school black metal bands and making some exciting and interesting music. After they felt to the abyss of marketing and multinational corporations moneymakers, but we forget it. We shall pray them for their first works. Fresh air for the style and a new approach, losing “black” authenticity but winning some variety, with piano and female vocals (after copied until be boring), and with some relation with traditional heavy metal.

I am a fanatic supporter of the old bands like Burzum, Darkthrone or Emperor, but I have enjoyed too during hours the albums of Mr. Filth and companion.

That cold magical night, our favorite bloodsuckers present his first step to decadence, Midian album.

Starting with some interesting songs of the album like Chutulu Dawn (Lovecraft, always with us) and Tortured Soul Assylum. The fool people, a lot of them with corpse-paint and black dresses, enjoy each second of the show, the blast speed and the melancholic doom parts.

The classical from their first release “The principle of Evil Made Flesh” were the best songs for me. “The Forest Whispers my name” (again and again…aaargggghh), “Of Mist and Midnight Skies”…Good performance too of the “Cruelty and the beast songs”, “Beneath the Howling stars” and “Desire in Violent overture”. Mystically evoked the fantastic “Dusk and Her Embrace” with Humana Inspired to Nightmare" "Heaven Torn Asunder" "Funeral in Carpathia”. These three albums are for me the best of the band, with great songs with gothic vampire and black essentials.

The band performs excellent, and Dani demonstrate he was a great frontman, moving all around and making the people crazy. Excellent voice of Sarah Jezebel Deva, creating and special atmosphere. The rest of the band was very static but Dani compensates in excess.

During one hour and a half, we were into the pantheon, enjoying an historical show of music. I remember today, seven years after, waiting for a band now, which can attract our attention like Cradle of Filth do at the End of the nineties.

I think this night I will have a dream of wolves in the snow…
