A little Halloween filth :)
I stopped listening to CoF after Nymphetamine, but I’ve always appreciated their commitment to the gothic, sort of Halloween schtick. I listened to them before I even knew what black metal was, so they were definitely a gateway band for me.
Yeah, IMO they found their sound on From the Cradle to Enslave -> Midian -> Bitter Suites era; tried something different when they got all that Sony money for Damnation; and then reverted back to this sound on every album since then. Like Megadeth or AC/DC, you know what you’re going to get.
Good to see they are still out there touring. IIRC, Dani Filth turned 51 in July.
Serious violation of rule 14 and rule 16. This incident will be reported. ;-)
Is this new new?
Yup, or as least afaik it is. I’m not deepinto CoF, so I could have missed it before, but I don’t think I did
I didn’t even know they were still making music thats a nice surprise
Me either! Tbh, 2024 has been a good year in metal overall. Judas Priest is another band I didn’t expect to see anything from. Dimmu Borgir is supposedly recording actively. Ensiferum dropped a damn good one. Behemoth has one that’s supposed to be out soon. On my end of things, I’m happy as a pig in slops!
