Context YMMV / CradleOfFilth

Go To

1* BrokenBase: Ohhhh where to begin... if the band jumped the shark after a certain album, or if it was when a key member left, or which era was better, so on...
2* FandomRivalry: With Carach Angren, a symphonic black metal from the Netherlands. The rivalry came out when Dani Filth released a new make up style that looked ''exactly'' like Carach Angren vocalist/guitarist Seregor. Fans and even ''Seregor himself'' were not amused.
3* ItsPopularNowItSucks: The reaction of many black metal fans to their popularity.
4* NightmareFuel: Their music can certainly qualify with their horror-themed lyrics, which, coupled with Dani's judicious use of CarefulWithThatAxe and ScreamsLikeALittleGirl, creates a rather unhinged sound to their music. [[NightmareRetardant On the other hand...]]
5* NightmareRetardant: The band tries hard to look scary. Unfortunately, Dani is short, round-faced and has a posh middle-class accent, so it doesn't really work.
6** Particularly in his newer work in which he wears glittery face paint, making him look like, according to one Youtube commenter, [[Film/{{Labyrinth}} the Goblin King]].
7* SignatureSong: "Cruelty Brought Thee Orchids" or "Her Ghost in the Fog".
8* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: And since they introduce a change to their sound with just about every new release, this happens a lot.
