Cruelty and the Beast!Hands down!One of my all time favorite COF albums!Also Dusk..and her Embrace!Great stuff!!
Yes! Cruelty and the beast forever and Evermore Darkly imo
Cruelty and The Beast is also my favourite COF release! 🔥🤘
Cruelty bought thee orchids chorus riff is STILL one of my all time fave riffs its just so friggin badass! Dusk will always be my fave its their masterpiece but Cruelty is certainly up there right along side it. COF in the 90's were untouchable.

1. Vempire( I know it's an EP but functionally it's more like a full album)
Cruelty and the beast has always been peak cradle. Easily my favorite album by cradle.
Me too
Dusk and Her Embrace [1996]
Best album for all time
I'd like to think most COF fans consider Dusk And Her Embrace and Cruelty And The Beast to be the heart and soul of the band. After that it really does seem to vary wildly as far as album preference. Personally I think their 94-01 era was the "Golden Age" as it were. After that I really like Damnation And A Day, Godspeed On The Devils Thunder and Cryptoriana.
The band has never been the same after Stuart Anstis left…. 😔
I agree but I group midian in there, although that was the start of some change. I love this band and they have alot of good albums but yeah, the core center heart of their discog are dusk cruelty and midian
I want to say my favorite is Dusk and her Embrace, but it’s probably Midian. Cruelty and the Beast, Damnation both are contenders for greatest as well.
I’m a die hard Cradle Of Filth fan, they’re my favourite band! Really enjoyed this video mate and I’m chuffed I discovered your channel!🤘🏼
I love Cradle of filth to. I've been listening to them for over a decade. I practiced my screams and howls, and I sound similar to Dani filth, but in my own way. I've been practicing my vocals for over a decade. You should check out
Archspire- Human Mumuration, Calamus will Animate and Remote Tumor seeker.
Thank me later. 🙂🙃
1. Cruelty and the beast
2. Dusk and her embrace
3. I know is an EP but I love it so much: bitter suites to succubi
4. Midian
5. Dammnation and a day
6. The principle of evil made flesh
7. Thornography
8. Nymphetamine
The new album is great. It combines the elements of Cryptoriana and Hammer Of The Witches, but with shorter songs. Cradle is on a roll.
Cruelty is so beautiful. Didn't need a remaster
Cruelty is indeed fucking beautiful. I'd disagree that it didn't need a remaster though, the composition had so much power it demands bringing the drums to the fore and turning the bass up and ditching the tinny overbearing treble on everything. But even despite the shit mix, that record still managed to be something else entirely.
My personal favorite will always be Creulty and the Beast
There's just something magical about that record that cradle have yet to replicate imo.
Cruelty And The Beast!
Indeed dude! Cruelty slays!! 🔥🤘
My Ranking:
13. Thornography

2. Cruelty and the Beast
1. Dusk and Her Embrace
Do a Children Of Bodom list pleaaasse
Keep up the good work bro
Ah yeah they are a band I need to do at some point good shout
They are having a serious renaissance with their last two albums. Honestly more and more I am considering them their best. The riffs are so much better
Latest two albums are miles better than Manticore i'll give you that
I felt like that when those albums were released, but to me most of the songs on their last album just went through my head without anything standing out. It's a lot more riff focused without any focus on the keyboard and symphonic elements themselves, this shows in the production in and of itself. In the older Cradle of Filth albums you could hear any symphonic elements in the forefront, in these new ones they're just background noise without any complex structure.

Why the hell didn't I see this video earlier. I've been listening to Cradle of filth for over a decade. I love them so much that I practiced my vocals to sound like Dani Filth. My favorite albums ranked would be
1. Cruelty and the beast
2. Evermore Darkly
3. Hammer of the witches
4. Cryptonia
The other albums in my opinion are meh.. I'm 25 and I found them when I was 15. I remember coming home from school putting my backpack down going On Demand with Comics back when I had Comcast, and I was scrolling in the metal section and I saw "Cradle Of Filth- Forgive Me Father (I Have Sinned).
Great video dude 🤘🏽
Good review . My number 1 album is Dusk and her Embrace
Great video! I watch these videos to get a synopsis of what albums of bands I should be checking out. In doing these album rankings, you should keep in mind that most viewers aren't going to be as familiar with the bands or albums as you are. It's fun to watch you gush about the music, but also usually when you say "you know what I'm talking about", I indeed do not know what you are talking about lol.
Anyway, time to go listen to Midian.
Yeah have a habit of assuming everyone is a fan haha
1. Cruelty and the beast 2. Midian. 3.Hammer of the witches. 4.Dusk and her embrace. 5.Damnation and a day. 6.Godspeed on the devil's thunder. 7.The principle of evil made flesh. 8.Darkly darkly Venus aversa. 9.Cryptoriana. 10.Bitter suites to Succubi. 11.Thornography. 12.The manticore and other horrors. 13.Nymphetamine I haven't listened to Existence is Futile but I'm guessing it's top 7.
Undoubtedly Cruelty and The Beast, this one strikes in its own way! Though picking one of the first COF 3 albums as my favourite one is really difficult for me (they both sound great) I choose Cruelty and The Beast because it's really melodic and I like the artwork (especially the Re-Mistressed version!).
Cruelty and The Beast is for me Cradle's peak of songwriting and lyrics. Stuart's great compositions (his greatest without a doubt!), Nicolas' fantastic drum work, Lecter's keyboards and Dani's triumphant banshee screams mix so perfectly that the music becomes really enjoyable, if not the best of all COF!
And I do consider Cruelty to be Cradle's best, because not only it has its own unique magic and power, but also because everyone does his best here. One of the most important albums that I have listened since I got to black metal, along with "Blut und Krieg", "Tales from Eternal Dusk", "For All Tid", "Strength & Honour" and "Transylvanian Hunger", nothing more to say! Artistically, musically and lyrically, this is one hell of a masterpiece!! 👿🤘
e.g: I consider "Thornography" to be the worst COF album. This one is really repetitive and generic and the cover sucks a lot with the pseudo-heavy female vocals! What the hell were they thinking when they made this one?
I've never been a Cradle fan, but Midian is just wow, near perfect
Midian's goddamned good, yes. That was the first Cradle record I ever heard, worked backwards through their catalog from there. Prefer Cruelty but Midian has an absolutely fucking vicious sound to it that I don't think they've matched since.
@@darkpark6531 agreed, also, songwriting there is just on point
@@davetorres3906 Yeah, if you're a guitarist the stuff on Midian's just straight-up a lot of fun to play too. Not overly glossy or technical, just fast and heavy and groovy as shit while also maintaining that gloriously cringey goth feel. Cthulhu Dawn's a great warmup
1. Cruelty
2. Dusk
3. Principles
4. cryptoriana
5. Hammer
6. Midian
7. Godspeed
8. Darkly, Darkly
9. Thornography
10. Damnation in a day
11.Nymphetamine
12. Manticore
Jeez l didn't realise they had so many albums!! Vempire is my favorite. Your top 2 picks are definitely spot on!
Great ranking! It's always interesting to hear other opinions on which albums are the best. I'm a massive Cradle of Filth fan, so any type of discussion about their discography is intriguing to me. "Nymphetamine" is my favorite album in their entire catalog, and I think it always will be, because it was the first album I ever heard from the band, and it got me into them. "Dusk...And Her Embrace" is my second favorite, and after that, it gets more difficult, because I love them all. The brand new album "Existence is Futile" would probably rank #3 for me already - it's that good! "Hammer of the Witches" is up in my top 5 for sure. "The Manticore and Other Horrors" is awesome, too, in my opinion. I love that you gave props to "Thornography"! I've always loved that album and never really understood the flack it gets.
Jeez no one likes Bitter Suites? I could maybe see why. I like listening to it like a soundtrack rather than a conventional album. Very cinematic.
Darkly, Darkly, Venus Aversa is a hidden gem. Easily my favorite from the post-Midian, pre-Hammer of the Witches era. Beyond Eleventh Hour is such an effective closing track.
12: The Principle of Evil Made Flesh
11: Midian
10: Damnation and a Day
9: The Manticore and Other Horrors
8: Dusk and Her Embrace
7: Cryptoriana - The Seductiveness of Decay
6: Thornography
5: Hammer of the Witches
4: Cruelty and the Beast
3: Nymphetamine
2: Darkly, Darkly, Venus Aversa
1: Godspeed on the Devil’s Thunder
I loved Cradle of Filth back in the day but lost interest in them afterThornography. (all the lineup changes didn't help either) I'll rank the albums I know and like
7) Godspeed
6) Principle of Evil
5) Nymphetamine
4) Midian
3) Damnation and a Day
2) Dusk and Her Embrace
1) Cruelty and the Beast
Principle of evil is one of my faves😭😭
Your last five are my top five. 'Godspeed' is where a high degree of subtlety began to permeate the music. It goes by so quickly that many people don't notice the subtlety but it's there in all the albums from 'Godspeed' onwards. The craftsmanship, production, composition, and execution on their last five albums (especially the drummer's contribution) makes the earlier albums sound half-assed and poorly realised , to my ears.
1. Manticore and other stories
2.Cryptonia
3.Hammer of The Witches
4.Darkly Darkly
5. Godspeed on The Devils Thunder.
Honourable mention to Damnation and a Day. The rest? Meh!
That is an incredibly unique opinion. I respect your opinion though, just did not expect The Manticore And Other Horrors to be your number 1 album!🤘🏼
Stating that Cruelty, Dusk, Midian, Damnation are all just meh.. is insane! You must have gotten into Cradle much much later..
@@Ktulured55 Ok, I over exaggerated. I like them too. I'll retract the "meh" and just say that I have a preference for everything from "Godspeed" onwards. I did come to the band later - round about the time of "Damnation" , which I like a lot. So I heard "Damnation" first and then worked backwards through the previous releases. It's all good. But, to my ears, there's a higher degree of craftsmanship and execution displayed on the later albums.
@@BrainiacFingers ok. That makes sense! I got into them right when Cruelty came out, I was 18, and thought they were amazing. They were my gateway into black metal as a whole. Them and Emperor were so popular right then.. Dimmu hadn't become super popular yet or Marduk and some others
My favorite used to be CATB. Now I think it is Dusk. On the opening song Heaven Torn Asunder, I swear they turn up the sound x3 when he screams “ATTACK!” It feels like you’ve been kicked in the face. I love it!
My first and still my favorite is "Cruelty And The Beast" followed closely by "Middian".
Cruelty And The Beast is my favorite too!
By far, first for me is Cruelty and the Beast. The new mix they did to it makes me love it even more. Second for me is Midian, though I hate the mix it's kinda what Enthrone is for Dimmu. Dusk and Her Embrace is a bit too gothic for me, but their creativity peaked on this one I guess. The Principle of Evil made Flesh. I love the thrash elements on this one (and on the Cradle's first 4 albums, but I think this is the one with the most thrashy moments). The last one that I kinda enjoy from them is Damnation and a Day, which is kinda good... but the sound is so washed up, and they focused on... "smaller" ideas (musically) which they emphasized the crap out of them... I guess that's what I don't like about it. It's like a narrative (which it is in lyrics) but the songs are not... "alive". Too much sticking to the patterns.
Love that thornography is up there
The Cruelty and the Beast title track is Cruelty bought me Orchids because they both have the word Cruelty in the name.
I think mine, from worst to best, are;
- Thornography
- Everything else post-Damnation (minus Godspeed)
- Principle
- Cradle to Enslave (namesake song is amazing, maybe my favourite, rest is mehhh)
- Godspeed
- Damnation
- V Empire
- Dusk
- Cruelty
- Midian
- Bitter Suites
I WISH I could get into all their new stuff but I just can‘t. It‘s I think mainly the guitars and the production as well as lack of ideas. For me too, 94-01 is untouchable and after that there is still many stand alone tracks on later albums and nymphetamine is still a whole nostalgic vibe but around thornography& godspeed they lost themselves completely. You can literally listen to them fall apart and losing energy and passion for the project. I understand that dani makes a living out of the brand cradle of filth and I think it‘s cool that he tries to get his voice back on track. The two new 2023 songs are a great effort and for the first time in years there‘s new ideas and melodies. I sadly still can‘t handle the crystal clear production and especially the sterile tone of the guitars which just don‘t sound like cradle but rather any other new metal band around.
Manticore is nice! Just Dani s voice is not so cool but the songs are great, they made it 3 members with Allender touch well present. I don't have all the album but plan to have them all soon. my top is Midian, Biiter suites, Godspeed, Cruelty, Manticore, then the last album
I was obsessed with Cradle back in the late 90's. I can't do anything after Cruelty. Bitter Suites was okay, but idk they just lost their magic around Midian.
Cruelty and the beast is def my favorite album. It brings me back to the days id go to the Renaissance festival and I remember a small booth playing that album and honestly was a majestic night that I can never forget. Plus a album about Elizabeth bathory is just screams a symphonic masterpiece. I still have my vintage cruelty and the beast shirt from 98 and apparently it sells over $500 dollars wtf but yeah my favorite track is definitely bathory aria.
My personal top 5 are
1) Midian
2) Dusk and Her Embrace
3)TPOEMF
4) Cruelty and The Beast
5)Nymphetamine
12 Manticore
11 Thornography
10 Nymphetamine
9 God Speed on the Devil's Thunder
8 Damnation and a Day
7 Darkly Darkly Venus Aversa
6 Hammer of the Witches
5 Cryptorania
4 Cruelty and the Beast
3 Dusk and Her Embrace
2 The Principle of Evil Made Flesh
1 Midian
Vempire is the best, Dusk and Her Embrace, The Principle of Evil Made Flesh and Midian are great too. I listened to Cruelty and the Beast too but it's My least favourite. The Demo Total F'ing darkness is great. From the Cradle to Enslave and Bitter suites to Succubi are pretty good. I remember listening to The Black Goddess Rises and The Forest Whispers my Name back in 1995 and loving those songs.
I'm glad we can agree that Manticore sucks a big one. Worst album of theirs by far. Can't remember a single tune.
Godspeed is pretty bad but I'd put it just above Darkly. Darkly has no riffs.
Evil Flesh is not as good as Vempire but I almost wouldn't compare it to literally any of the other albums. It doesn't deserve a low rank but it shouldn't be high either. It's not the same Cradle.
Nymphetamine is still better than Hammer and Existence is Futile. The riffs are catchy and the new riffs are not. Those riffs sounded like love and these new ones sound like a rushed tour band
Hammer would be great if Dani didn't suckass and the symphonic stuff wasn't so corny as it has been since Thornography. Btw I'm glad you ranked Thornography so high. It's definitely undeserving of the feces that's congealing ontop of it by the fans
I could go on forever though so I'll just shut my yap and say "like the video"
Awesome stuff !!!
Still never got into them perhaps today that will change.
Always worth a try
Damn I liked ur video u r genius
Cradle of filth doesn't have any terrible albums, but it sure has a couple of very mid ones that I will avoid putting on if given any other choice.
The bottom of the barrel for them as far as I'm concerned is Darkly Darkly and Manticore, I don't enjoy these very much.
Godspeed is decent, has some good tracks on it.
Hammer of the witches, I need to give this one some time. It came out during the time when I had given up on Cradle after the very disappointing Manticore and Darkly Darkly and I never really gave the chance it deserves.
Thornography has some great tracks and some tracks I cannot stand. But I'm always up for putting on Dirge Inferno and Under Huntress moon, those two are killer!
Principle of evil made flesh, it's a good album but Cradle has far better ones!
Existence is futile, pretty solid overall and has a few really amazing tracks.
Nymphetamine is kinda the same as Thornography for me, some great songs, some decent ones and some mid ones, but it has a lot of nostalgic value for me and I enjoy it more for that reason.
Cryptoriana, what a return to form this was! Great album! I love it!
Damnation and a day, now were getting into the truly great ones and it will only get better from here!
Bitter suites to succubi, my first Cradle album! Love it, love it, love it!
Midian, my second ever Cradle album (at least if we're not counting the compilation album Lovecraft and witch hearts and Live album Live bait for the dead, both phenomenal btw), Midian is flawless, not a single weak song.
Vempire, technically not an album but we're gonna count it anyways, it's fucking amazing!
Cruelty and the beast, it's not just one of the best Cradle albums, it's one of the best metal albums period.
And finally, can there ever be any doubt? Dusk and her embrace is one of the strongest contenders for the title of my personal favorite album from any artist ever.
Flawless perfect record!
Cradle was the first extreme metal band I got into.In late 90s cradle was easily the most accessible and dare I say commercial bm around.first cradle cd I owned was cradle to enslave E.p.Sleepless is fucking awesome
2:31 wow that's hella interesting! I didn't hear about them until way later, through this channel! :)
Cruelty is the best, agreed. The riffs, songwriting, atmosphere, everything. The downside? The mix is utter shit, way too much treble on everything and the drums were muffled into the background and sound like a faint marching snare or something...... which is a goddamned shame because that was some of Nich's finest work. But even despite the shit mix, the thing manages to fucking slay due to the powerful composition.
Personally I would've ranked Damnation in the top 4 though, that was the last album they did I even liked. It was a bit long-winded but they made very good use of the resources Sony momentarily afforded them. Got to see them on tour for it and that show was badass.
Old COF is best, so my list is : Cruelty (remastered), Dusk, Principle, Midian, and after that don't care much, of new album finding Darkly pretty good mostly cause Lilith Imaculate is such great song.
I was pretty disappointed by The Metal Trenches COF tier list. I swear he just does certain things for attention, like ranking Dusk And Her Embrace low on his tier list.
Only agree with top 3 but and the last position
i' m the voice out of the chorus, for me their best album (among the ones that i know, because i' m not a big fan but i like them) is "Damnation and a Day"
Mydian and Cruelty and the beast are of course masterpieces, i really like them, but not at the same level in my opinion.
and the songs: Promise of fever, Hurt or virtue, Babalon ad, The smoke of her burning, the ones that you mentionned too, for me are super good too !
Love this band and love your list m8
Me andy girlfriend saw them live in London recently they were so fun live
Just discovered you today. Your list is solid. My biggest disagreement is Thornography. That is their worst album for me. I didn't think it was catchy, trying maybe, but then sounds bad and cheesy. It's their only album I could not make myself keep listening to. Anyways, I loved this video, and you did a great job! You are so young! The first time I ever heard Cradle was when Cruelty and the Beast just had come out. 😁
Spot on with the top 2. Booyah!
01 Cruelty and the Beast
02 Dusk and her Embrace
03 (Vempire)
04 Principle of Evil Made Flesh
05 Midian
06 Damnation and a Day
07 (Bitter Suites to Succubi)
08 Hammer of the Witches
09 Cryptoriana
10 Nymphetamine
11 Godspeed and the Devil's Thunder
...
Thornography/Manticore are horrible. Maybe i should give Darkly Darkly... a try. Never heard this one.
Good top 5 . Nothing beats the old COF
1. Midian
2. Existence Is Futile
3. Dusk And Her Embrace
4. Principle Of Evil Made Flesh
5. Cruelty And The Beast
The last album I've heard from Cradle of Filth was Nymphetamine. I didn't like it very much back in the day, and I've never heard the most recent ones. I wonder which is best. Read many good things about Hammer of the Witches.
It seems like the general consensus is that "Hammer of the Witches" is the best among their more recent string of albums. But now that their brand new album "Existence is Futile" is out, I have to say, it's even better than that one! My favorite album is "Nymphetamine", and I think this newest one is the best release since then. I like all of their albums, though, so it's hard to pick. "Thornography" and "The Manticore and Other Horrors" are great albums, in my opinion.
Cruelty and the beast is my favorite too
I've never gotten into them so I'm trying to listen to em more
My favorite albums are:
Cruelty And The Beast
Dusk and Her Embrace
The Principle of Evil Made Flesh (Some songs)
Albums after Stuart era sucks
EP:
V empire
From the Cradle to Enslave (decent)
Do a Pantera ranking next
I never heard of this band until I watched The IT crowd when Richmond brought it up! It turned him goth lol.
Cruelty and the Beast all the way!Love it!But after that they all started sounding the same.
Can u please review the new album. Its amazing!!!
I don't know Hammer of the Witches what it is but I've personally never really been able to get in to the album
1.Principle 2. Vempire 3. Cruelty 4. Dusk 5. Midian 6. Damnation 7. Nymph 8. Thorn 9. Hammer 10. Crypt 11. Godspeed 12. Manticore
Godspeed or dusk and her embrace
I can only agree with 4 things on this video: Manticore is their worst album to date imo (Siding with the Titans is a great song though), Damnation and a Day is really underrated, listen to Midian first if you're not into Cradle of Filth, Cruelty and the Beast is their best album imo despite the production flaws. Everyone's entitled to an opinion though, I use to hate Thornography but it grew on me after a while and Nymphetamine does have some genuinely good songs.
What do you think of WASP
which place is the new album?
my favs are, thorography (yes i fucking love it a LOT ), midian, damnation and a day, cruelty and the beast and existence is futile
I like them all. It's more about the poetics for me though.
Cradle of Filth rules... it annoys me when some black metal fans trash them & act like it’s pussy shit or something just bc it’s not 100% black metal smh
If they didn’t like it for the music then fair enough but yeah to hate on them for not being tru kvlt enough is dumb
Thank ya
1. Cruelty and the beast
2. Dusk and her embrace
3. Principles of evil made flesh
4.vempire
5.midian
6. Cradle to enslave
7. Existence is futile
8. Thornography
Can't listen to any of the others really
I use to be heavily obsessed with Cradle of Filth back in high school (2002-2006). They were one of the first bands that got me into the more extreme side of music. I saw them at Ozzfest 2003 when Damnation and a Day was out. I met the band which was pretty cool. I wasn’t the fondest of Damnation and a Day. Midian and Cruelty & The Beast are my favorites. The last album I fully listened to was Thornography and I remember that was when I fell off from them. Maybe it’s time I give them a listen.
I did find it weird Nymphetamine was an extremely popular song. I remember I wasn’t too fond of that album. Gilded Cunt was awesome though.
Midian and Cruelty are my favorite albums following Dusk and Her Embrace.
Oh have you ever seen their movie called Cradle of Fear!? It’s fucking terrible lol
Physically shocked with Godspeed at the bottom (we don’t speak of manticore) 😬
You didn't mention the two best songs on Midian: Her Ghost in the Fog, and Saffron's Curse. Her Ghost in the Fog was the first CoF song I heard.
I was also surprised when he was running down the list of Midian songs that he did not mention those 2!
my favourite cradle of filth album is the principle of evil made flesh 1994 and also dusk and her embrace 1996 I do love total fucking darkness 1993 but that's a demo cruelty and the beast too symphonic less black metal esque
❤
Best- The Principle of Evil Made Flesh; worst - Cruelty and the Beast
While listening to cradle of filth I feel like the evil minded queen from snow white.
Dress up like her too
Do you at least like frost on her pillow from manticore? That's top 5 songs for me
Yeah that songs great 🤟
Aaahhhyyy....
V empire is best
That is an EP though
i loved the songs on thornography basiclly. but i hated the drum sound so damn much. it was so annoying. the bass drum sounds like the drummer has wooden flip flops on - ruined it a bit for me.
you can like COF new shit, but you always rank more high their old albums
I've been a fan for a long time. Since Cruelty, really. The Dusk-Cruelty-Midian time period was probably the best for this band. I miss SJD on vocals too. The band would benefit from taking a few years between albums, I think. There's too many releases and it starts to feel like quantity over quality.
Thornography, ewww....
(crap)
14. Midnight in the Labyrinth (understandably not included in your video)

Godspeed is better than darkly x10000
1. Cruelty and the Beast.
2. Damnation and a Day (minus Mannequin).
3. Dusk and Her Embrace.
4. V-Empire
5. Midian
6. Principle of Evil Made Flesh
7. Darkly, Darkly.
8. Godspeed on the Devils Thunder.
9. Existence is Futile.
Worst song in catalog is Nymphetamine. Horrible! Basically a pop rock goth song. Thornography and Nymph are awful albums. Pathetic..again, pop rock.
Thornography is the worst. Manticore is underrated.
Both are equally bad
