In the latest episode of REVOLVER’s “Gnarly Origins” video series, Cradle of Filth frontman Dani Filth looks back on the colorful — and sometimes disturbing — history of the global black-metal movement and his band’s involvement in the scene.
From trailblazing extreme music to church-burning criminality, he discusses the essential albums, the tabloid headlines and more — including the story behind COF’s seminal debut, ‘The Principle of Evil Made Flesh,’ which turns 30 in 2024.

Don't forget Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia
Hearing his favorite black metal album just made my day.
I discovered them at 12, my parents were classic rock fans and I remember hearing coffee and it was chaotic to what I knew, but soon become one of my top 10 bands forever, I was big into industrial, but I still love good black metal daily!
When I was 14 I had that venom black metal cover painted in black and white on my battle jacket but instead of black metal on the bottom it read "sacrifice" in the same lettering. That was mid 80's. Wish I still had it, been thinking about remaking it 😊
Parabelum from Colombia! Euronymous traded tapes with them and was heavily influenced by their sound.
In the nightside eclipse is the best black metal album EVER.
Cradle dimmu borgir emperor and carcass ❤❤❤❤❤
A poet at heart, a demon in his aproach
Вы вообще новые видео собираетесь выпускать? 😐😏
honestly surprised he didn't mention "Death"
Moonspell is not blackmetal. but doesnt metter.
I met him on the Viva La Bands tour with Gwar and CKY in 2007 in Columbus, Ohio. He was very nice. That is one of the funnest concerts I’ve been to still to this day.
I think this might be the most I've ever heard anyone use the phrase 'privy to' more. It might become a drinking game.
10:34 what did they censor???? 👀
Too short !! … What amazing interview !!
2:23 Dark Tranquility!! 🤘
