Why are Cradle of Filth classified as Gothic Metal?
Posted on June 27th, 2009 by The Militia in Gothic MetalSame as my last question. I like some COF songs…don't call me a poser. Yes they include alot of gothic literature in their lyrics and they have the whole stereotypical goth look. I just call them "extreme metal"
They are more often considered Extreme Metal but alot of poser goth followers like them

I try not to get hung up on classifications beyond "good" and "bad". CoF fits into the latter more often than not.

They are an extreme metal band as you said, I don't know where you got that information about them being goth. I searched many websites to check what their label is (subgenre). And all of them says they are an extreme metal band.

Well, they've changed a lot from their older stuff to Nymphetamine. Nymphetamine is more on the gothic end, with the girl's singing, and on Thornography, most songs are very gothic-sounding.

Cradle of Filth is Symphonic Black Metal/Gothic Metal but people classified them real Black Metal which is Bullshit and Extreme Metal which I believe it is.

take the song Nymphetamine for example, the keyboards, the deep vocals from the dude, the kind of dark feeling. I would would consider that goth metal about 90%. their image is pretty goth/metal too not that it matters. I have heard ignorants call them emo metal too so these days will all the mucical illiterates who knows? (nothing personal toward anyone)
