==History==
=== Early years (1991–1996) ===
[[File:Cradle of Filth Rockharz 2015 07.jpg|thumb|left|Founding member and vocalist, Dani Filth]]
Cradle of Filth's first three years saw three demos (''Invoking the Unclean'', ''Orgiastic Pleasures Foul'' and ''[[Total Fucking Darkness]]'') recorded amidst the sort of rapid line-up fluctuations that have continued ever since, with the band having more than thirty musicians in its history. An album entitled ''Goetia'' was recorded prior to the third demo and set for release on Tombstone Records, but all tracks were wiped when Tombstone went out of business and the band could not afford to buy the recordings from the studio.<ref>{{cite AV media notes |title=[[Lovecraft & Witch Hearts]] |others=Cradle of Filth |year=2002 |publisher=[[Music for Nations]] |last=Gregori |first=Damien}}</ref> The band eventually signed to Cacophonous Records, and their debut album, ''[[The Principle of Evil Made Flesh]]'', was Cacophonous's first release in 1994. A step-up in terms of production from the rehearsal quality of most of their demos, the album was still nevertheless a sparse and embryonic version of what was to come, with lead singer [[Dani Filth]]'s vocals in particular bearing little similarity to the style he was later to develop. The album was well-received however,<ref name="AllMusic">{{cite web |url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/the-principle-of-evil-made-flesh-mw0000025519 |title=''The Principle of Evil Made Flesh'' – Cradle of Filth : Songs, Reviews, Credits, Awards : AllMusic |last=Serba |first=John |website=[[AllMusic]] |publisher=[[AllRovi]] |access-date=25 June 2013}}</ref> and as recently as June 2006 found its way into ''[[Metal Hammer]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s list of the top ten [[black metal]] albums of the last twenty years.<ref>{{cite journal |date=June 2006 |journal=[[Metal Hammer]] |issue=153|title=Cradle of Filth}}</ref>

Cradle's relationship with Cacophonous soon soured, the band accusing the label of contractual and financial mismanagement. Acrimonious legal proceedings took up most of 1995,<ref name="Rockdetector">{{cite web |url=http://www.rockdetector.com/officialbio,1928.sm;jsessionid=308D2B399B35E3B17E1388BCF8DF0CE5 |title=Cradle of Filth <nowiki>|</nowiki> Unique, Detailed Biography <nowiki>|</nowiki> Rockdetector |last=Sharpe-Young |first=Garry |date=31 March 2007 |website=Rockdetector |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070930195103/http://www.rockdetector.com/officialbio%2C1928.sm%3Bjsessionid%3D308D2B399B35E3B17E1388BCF8DF0CE5 |archive-date=30 September 2007 |access-date=25 June 2013 |url-status=dead}}</ref> and the original version of the band's second album, ''[[Dusk... and Her Embrace]]'' was recorded by the ''Principle...'' lineup for Cacophonous but scrapped. Subsequently re-worked with new band members for [[Music For Nations]] (see below), the embryonic Cacophonous version was eventually released as ''Dusk... and Her Embrace: The Original Sin'' in July 2016.

The band finally signed to Music for Nations in 1996 after only one more contractually obligated Cacophonous recording: the [[Extended play|EP]] ''[[V Empire or Dark Faerytales in Phallustein]]'', which, it has since been conceded, was hastily written as a Cacophonous escape-plan.<ref name="Rockdetector" /> Despite the circumstances of its release however, its handful of tracks are staples of the band's live sets to this day, and "Queen of Winter, Throned" was listed among twenty-five "essential extreme metal anthems" in a 2006 issue of ''[[Kerrang!]]'' magazine. The EP also marked [[Sarah Jezebel Deva]]'s debut with the band, replacing [[Andrea Haugen|Andrea Meyer]], Cradle's first female vocalist and self-styled "satanic advisor".<ref>{{cite book |last=Baddeley |first=Gavin |author-link=Gavin Baddeley |year=1994 |title=Lucifer Rising |publisher=Nemesis Publishing |page=211}}</ref> Deva appeared on every subsequent Cradle release and tour until 2010's ''[[Darkly, Darkly, Venus Aversa]]'', but was never considered a full band member, since she also performed with [[The Kovenant]], [[Therion (band)|Therion]] and [[Mortiis]], and fronted her own [[Angtoria]] project along with Cradle's former bass guitar player, [[Dave Pybus]].

=== Music for Nations era (1996–2001) ===
The re-worked and re-recorded ''[[Dusk and Her Embrace|Dusk... and Her Embrace]]'' followed the same year: a critically acclaimed breakthrough album that greatly expanded the band's fan-base throughout Europe and the rest of the world.<ref name="AllMusic biography">{{cite web |url=http://www.allmusic.com/artist/cradle-of-filth-mn0000779670 |title=Cradle of Filth – Music Biography, Credits and Discography : AllMusic |last=Ankeny |first=Jason |website=[[AllMusic]] |publisher=[[AllRovi]] |access-date=25 June 2013}}</ref> Cradle's inaugural album for [[Music for Nations]] set the tone for what was to follow. The album's production values matched the band's ambition for the first time, whilst Filth's vocal gymnastics were at their most extreme.

[[File:BGCTCF15.jpg|thumb|left|The infamous "Vestal Masturbation" T-shirt design]]
The increasingly theatrical stage shows of the 1997 European tour helped keep Cradle in the public eye, as did a burgeoning line of controversial merchandise, not least the notorious [[Vestal Masturbation T-shirt|T-shirt]] depicting a [[masturbating]] [[nun]] on the front and the slogan "[[Jesus]] is a [[cunt]]" in large letters on the back. The T-shirt is banned in New Zealand,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/PO0807/S00009.htm |title=Censor's Ban on "Cradle of Filth" T-Shirt <nowiki>|</nowiki> Scoop News |date=1 July 2008 |website=Scoop |access-date=25 June 2013}}</ref> a handful of fans have faced court appearances and fines for wearing the shirt in public, and some band members themselves attracted a certain amount of hostile attention when they wore similar "I Love Satan" shirts to the [[Vatican City|Vatican]].<ref name="KAOS2000">{{cite web |url=http://www.kaos2000.net/interviews/cradleoffilth/paulallender00.html |title=KAOS2000 Magazine Interview with Guitarist Paul Allender of Cradle of Filth |last=Wilson |first=David Lee |year=2000 |website=KAOS2000 |access-date=25 June 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130927214537/http://www.kaos2000.net/interviews/cradleoffilth/paulallender00.html |archive-date=27 September 2013 |url-status=dead}}</ref> [[Alex Mosson]], the [[Lord Provost of Glasgow]] from 1999 to 2003, called the shirts (and by implication the band) "sick and offensive". The band used the quote on the back cover of the 2005 DVD ''[[Peace Through Superior Firepower]]''.

In 1998, Filth began his long-running "Dani's Inferno" column for ''[[Metal Hammer]]'', and the band appeared in the [[BBC]] documentary series ''Living with the Enemy'' (on tour with a fan and his disapproving mother and sister)<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.kerrang.com/cradle-of-filth-living-with-the-enemy-dani-filth-interview|title=Cradle Of Filth's Dani Filth: "I Was Too Embarrassed To Watch Living With The Enemy" |last=Travers |first=Paul|date=19 November 2018 |website=Kerrang! |access-date=10 November 2023}}</ref> and released its third studio album, ''[[Cruelty and the Beast]]''. A fully realised concept album based on the legend of the "Blood Countess" [[Elizabeth Báthory]], the album boasted the casting coup of [[Ingrid Pitt]] providing guest narration as the Countess; a role she first played in [[Hammer Film Productions]]' 1971 film ''[[Countess Dracula]]''. The album led to Cradle's US debut,<ref name="Knac.com">{{cite web |url=http://www.knac.com/article.asp?ArticleID=958 |title=knac.com – Features – Getting Filthy with Dani Filth |last=Atkinson |first=Peter |date=11 June 2002 |website=Knac.com |access-date=2 September 2012}}</ref> and Dani claimed it in 2003 as the Cradle album of which he was most proud, although he conceded dissatisfaction with its sound quality.<ref name="ReferenceA">{{cite journal |journal=[[Metal Hammer]]|title=Cradle of Filth |date=March 2003}}</ref>

The following year the band continued primarily to tour, but did release the EP ''[[From the Cradle to Enslave]]'', accompanied by the band's first [[music video]], which formed the centrepiece of the [[DVD]] ''PanDaemonAeon''. Replete with graphic nudity and [[Graphic violence|gore]], the video was directed by [[Alex Chandon]], who would go on to produce further Cradle promo clips and DVD documentaries, as well as the full-length feature film ''[[Cradle of Fear]]''.

The band released their fourth studio album in the [[Autumn]] of 2000. ''[[Midian (album)|Midian]]'' was based around the [[Clive Barker]] novel ''[[Cabal (novella)|Cabal]]'' and its subsequent film adaptation ''[[Nightbreed]]''.<ref name="EMP1">{{cite journal |last=Williams |first=Owen |title=The Strange Case of Clive Barker's ''Nightbreed'' |journal=[[Empire (magazine)|Empire]] |date=August 2012}}</ref> Like ''Cruelty and the Beast'', ''Midian'' featured a guest narrator, this time [[Doug Bradley]], who starred in ''Nightbreed'' but remains best known for playing [[Pinhead (Hellraiser)|Pinhead]] in the ''[[Hellraiser]]'' series. Bradley's line "Oh, no tears please" from the song "[[Her Ghost in the Fog]]" is a quote of Pinhead's from the first ''Hellraiser'' ("No tears, please. It's a waste of good suffering..."),<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.imsdb.com/scripts/Hellraiser.html |title=''Hellraiser'' Script at IMSDb. |website=IMSDb |access-date=25 June 2013}}</ref> and Bradley would reappear on later albums ''Nymphetamine'', ''Thornography'' and ''Godspeed on the Devil's Thunder''. The video for "Her Ghost in the Fog" received heavy rotation on [[MTV2]] and other metal channels, and the track also found its way onto the soundtrack of the werewolf movie ''[[Ginger Snaps (film)|Ginger Snaps]]'' (it would also feature, much later, in the video game ''[[Brütal Legend]]'').

=== Sony interlude (2001–2004) ===
The longest-ever interim period between full-length Cradle albums was nevertheless a busy time for the band. ''[[Bitter Suites to Succubi]]'' was released on the band's own Abracadaver label, and was a mixture of four new songs, re-recordings of three songs from ''The Principle of Evil Made Flesh'', two instrumental tracks and a cover of [[The Sisters of Mercy]]'s "No Time to Cry". Stylistically similar to ''Midian'', the collection was, at the time, unique among Cradle releases in that it featured exactly the same band members as its predecessor. Further stop-gap releases followed in the form of the "[[greatest hits album|best of]]" package ''[[Lovecraft & Witch Hearts]]'' and the live album, ''[[Live Bait for the Dead]]''. Finally, the band (principally Dani) also found time to appear in the horror film ''[[Cradle of Fear]]'' while they negotiated their first major-label signing with [[Sony Music]].

{{Quote box
 |quote = Everything in the band is a democracy decision.. Dani has just been painted black in the press...To be honest, to find six people who think along the same lines and share the same interests and like have everything else sort of on a similar level. This band takes up so much time from us, it’s hard to keep everybody focused at the same time and on the same page. So it’s a lot to do with why there have been so many members.

''[[Damnation and a Day]]'' arrived in 2003; Sony's heavyweight funding underwriting Cradle's undiminished ambition<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.thegauntlet.com/interviews/487/Cradle-Of-Filth.html |title=Cradle of Filth HTML – The Gauntlet |date=18 November 2010 |website=The Gauntlet |access-date=25 June 2013}}</ref> by finally bringing a real orchestra into the studio (the 101 piece Budapest Film Orchestra including the 40 piece Choir replacing the increasingly sophisticated [[synthesiser]]s of previous albums) and thus marking the band's belated gestation—for one album only—into full-blown symphonic metal. ''Damnation'' featured the band's most complex compositions to date, outran its predecessors by a good twenty minutes and produced two more popular videos: the [[Jan Švankmajer]]-influenced ''[[Mannequin (video)|Mannequin]]'' and ''[[Babalon A.D. (So Glad for the Madness)]]'', based on [[Pier Paolo Pasolini]]'s film ''[[Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom|Salò]]''. Roughly half the album trod the conceptual territory of [[John Milton]]'s ''[[Paradise Lost]]''—showing the events of [[fall of man|the fall of man]] through the eyes of [[Lucifer]]<ref name="Knac.com"/>—while the remainder comprised stand-alone tracks such as the [[Nile (band)|Nile]] tribute "Doberman Pharaoh"<ref name="ReferenceA"/> and the aforementioned "Babalon A. D."; a reference to [[Aleister Crowley]]. "Babalon A. D." was the first DVD-only single to reach the UK's top 40 charts, according to the ''[[Guinness Book of Records|Guinness Book of Records of British Hit Singles and Albums]]''. Feeling that Sony's enthusiasm quickly palled however, Cradle jumped ship to [[Roadrunner Records]] after barely a year.<ref name="MetalEagle.com">{{cite web |url=http://www.metaleagle.com/interviews.php?action=show&id=155&PHPSESSID=8993a87adfc69bf4 |title=Cradle of Filth – Interview with Paul Allender :: MetalEagle Online Magazine |last=Smirnioti |first=Marilena |website=MetalEagle.com |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070929100659/http://www.metaleagle.com/interviews.php?action=show&id=155&PHPSESSID=8993a87adfc69bf4 |archive-date=29 September 2007 |access-date=2 September 2012}}</ref>

=== Move to Roadrunner (2004–2010) ===
[[File:Cradle of Filth Hellfest 2009 04.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Filth and Ellyllon during the band's performance at Hellfest in 2009.]]
2004's ''[[Nymphetamine]]'' was the band's first full album since ''Dusk...and Her Embrace'' to not be based around any sort of overarching concept (although references to the works of [[H. P. Lovecraft]] are made more than once). Cradle's bass guitarist [[Dave Pybus]] described it as an "eclectic mix between the group's ''Damnation'' and ''Cruelty'' albums with a renewed vigour for [[melody]], songmanship {{sic}} and plain fucking weirdness."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=17570 |title=Cradle of Filth Sign with Roadrunner Records! |date=22 December 2003 |website=[[Blabbermouth.net]] |access-date=2 September 2012}}</ref> ''Nymphetamine'' debuted at No.&nbsp;89 on the Billboard Top 200 chart, selling just under 14,000 copies,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=27673 |title=Soundscan Report: Marilyn Manson, Cradle of Filth, H.I.M., Iommi/Hughes |date=6 October 2004 |website=[[Blabbermouth.net]] |access-date=2 September 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090513013151/http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=27673 |archive-date=13 May 2009}}</ref> and the band's growing acceptance by the mainstream was confirmed when the album's title track was nominated for a [[Grammy]] award.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=30088 |title=Metallica, Cradle of Filth, Motörhead Among Grammy Nominees |date=7 December 2004 |website=[[Blabbermouth.net]] |access-date=2 September 2012}}</ref> The album's track "Coffin Fodder" was referenced in an episode of the [[Channel 4]] [[sit-com]] ''[[The IT Crowd]]'' in February 2006.

''[[Thornography]]'' was released in October 2006. According to Dani Filth, the title "represents mankind's obsession with sin and self... an addiction to self-punishment or something equally poisonous... a mania."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cradleoffilth.com/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061104165704/http://www.cradleoffilth.com/Descriptions.html |archive-date=4 November 2006 |title=Cradle of Filth |website=cradleoffilth.com |access-date=4 September 2012}}</ref> On the subject of the album's musical direction, Filth told ''[[Revolver (magazine)|Revolver]]'' magazine, "I'm not saying it's 'experimental', but we're definitely testing the limits of what we can do... A lot of the songs are really rhythmical—[[thrash metal|thrashy]], almost—but they're all also really catchy."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.metalhammer.co.uk/news/cradle-of-filth-banned-in-the-us/ |title=Cradle of Filth Banned in the US <nowiki>| News |</nowiki> ''Metal Hammer'' |date=22 May 2006 |website=[[Metal Hammer]] |access-date=2 September 2012}}</ref> A flurry of pre-release controversy saw Samuel Araya's original cover artwork scrapped and replaced in May 2006, although numerous CD booklets had already been printed with the original image.<ref name="MetalEagle.com"/> ''Thornography'' received a similar reception to ''Nymphetamine'', garnering generally positive reviews, but raising a few eyebrows with the inclusion of a cover of [[Heaven 17]]'s "[[Temptation (Heaven 17 song)|Temptation]]"<ref>{{cite journal |date=21 October 2006 |journal=[[Kerrang!]]|title=Cradle of Filth |issue=1130}}</ref><ref name=Terr150>{{cite journal |journal=[[Terrorizer (magazine)|Terrorizer]]|title=Cradle of Filth |issue=150 |date=November 2006}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |date=November 2006 |journal=[[Metal Hammer]]|title=Cradle of Filth |issue=159}}</ref> (featuring guest vocals from [[Dirty Harry (musician)|Dirty Harry]]), which was released as a [[digital single]] and accompanying video shortly before the album.

Long-term drummer [[Adrian Erlandsson]] departed the band in November 2006, with the intention of devoting his energies to his two side projects, Needleye and Nemhain. The official press release from Roadrunner saw Erlandsson state "I have enjoyed my time with Cradle but it is now time to move on. I feel I am going out on a high as ''Thornography'' is definitely our best album to date".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.roadrunnerrecords.co.uk/page/News?&news_page=621&news_id=48602 |title=Adrian Erlandsson Leaves Cradle of Filth – Roadrunner Records UK |date=12 February 2008 |website=[[Roadrunner Records]] |access-date=10 September 2012 |archive-date=31 December 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181231092416/http://roadrunnerrecords.co.uk/page/News/?&news_page=621&news_id=48602 |url-status=dead }}</ref> He was replaced by [[Martin "Marthus" Škaroupka]].

Work on the eighth studio album, released in October 2008 as ''[[Godspeed on the Devil's Thunder]]'', began early that year following a [[GWAR]]-supported tour which took place in Russia, [[Ukraine]], United Kingdom, [[Romania]], [[Slovakia]] and North America.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.kerrang.com/blog/2008/07/cradle_of_filth_unveil_new_alb.html |title=''Kerrang!''

=== Controversy over Suffolk Icon Nomination ===
In 2010, [[Dani Filth]] was nominated by members of the public for the "Suffolk Icons" campaign, run by the organisation Choose Suffolk to promote the county through iconic images of people, places, and products. While many nominations focused on traditional scenes and figures such as beach huts, historic buildings, and Sir Bobby Robson, Filth's image quickly became the most popular, receiving over 13,000 votes—more than six times the total of the next most popular nominee. Despite this, Filth was excluded from the final shortlist of 20 icons selected by a judging panel, which featured only conventional and historic imagery. The decision to drop him sparked criticism and debate over cultural representation and the dismissal of public input. A spokesperson for Choose Suffolk stated that the panel had selected finalists they felt had "countywide resonance," though no official reason was given for Filth’s exclusion. Responding to the nomination at the time, Filth said: "I've spent the majority of my life either in Ipswich or Woodbridge and Hadleigh... so I guess this is where my heart lies. So in that respect it's a compliment really. Although, I prefer a pint of Adnams myself."<ref>{{Cite web |date=5 January 2011 |title=Suffolk tourist board embarrassed after metal band Cradle of Filth voted county's greatest icon |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/music-news/8239258/Suffolk-tourist-board-embarrassed-after-metal-band-Cradle-of-Filth-voted-countys-greatest-icon.html |website=The Telegraph}}</ref>

=== Peaceville Records (2010–2014) ===
