Cradle of Filth don't suck. They're one of the funniest bands in existence, not least because their music is structured so well, delivering the puns at all the right moments. Really good band. It's unfortunate so many here can't see past the make-up and stuff. And I've no idea why people here can swallow Magma's gimmick and are so opposed to CoF's at the same time.

... I think that's down to musical differences - it's difficult to compare CoFs Maiden influenced symphonic black metal with Magma's unique symphonic jazz minimalism.

I *love* CoF and have done so since The Principle of Evil Made Flesh and agree that they blend a sizable dose of humour with their highly structured music that makes them unique withn BM circles. I just wish they had recorded Victorian England Under Martian Rule instead of the rather dire Midian

What?

Well, just keep listening.
Listen to some melo-death bands...their growls are a bit easier to digest.
I remember how much i hated 'Death' to begin with. They basically introduced me to these harsh vocals, quite a few years back. It is an acquired taste and just takes a bit of time imo.
Listening to death metal doesn't make you a fagg0t or any such thing(if you do have any such thoughts that is), as long as your musical taste elsewhere doesn't vanish.
