The British extreme metal outfit Cradle of Filth has been active since 1991, and despite countless lineup changes, leaving frontman Dani Filth as the only remaining original member, they have always managed to preserve their distinctive sound.

Their unique brand of black metal has always been steeped in a gothic horror atmosphere and infused with classic heavy metal leads, a legacy of the NWOBHM that, as true Brits, they’ve never tried to hide even if not every black metal fan appreciated it. Not that they care; on the contrary, Dani and co have never shied away from controversy.

Suffocation are pioneers of technical death metal, known for their relentless aggression, intricate compositions, and guttural vocals. Their music is an unyielding barrage of complex rhythms and brutal intensity, pushing the boundaries of death metal into new realms of precision and chaos.
