成立原因
Cradle of filth(污穢搖籃)樂隊
Cradle of filth樂隊,中文譯為污穢搖籃或淫穢搖籃。1992年組建于英國 音樂風格:極端,哥特,黑金屬
他們自稱: “The Only True English Black Metal Band”
他們有北歐黑金屬的猛烈演奏、交響金屬的宏大結構、死亡金屬的低吼、哥特金屬的女高音伴唱再加上主唱Dani Filth招牌式的吸血鬼氣質的尖叫。在密不透風的編曲下流動着一幅幅陰暗殘暴卻又唯美
的畫卷。
特質
成立于1992年,來自英國的Colchester,在樂風上,他們受到了一些老團如: Celtic Frost、 Bathory、Diamanda Galas和Mercyful Fate等的影響,同時也具備了一些大文豪如拜倫、雪萊等同樣的思想悲觀而厭世。這些都可以在他們的音樂中找到。在當時,由斯堪地那維亞半島所帶領的Black Metal潮流正風起雲湧,許多新進團體紛紛成立,而音樂走向也取法挪威派 的黑金屬,而這樣的結果,造成了彼此音樂的重疊性,往往聽了一個團就不用聽其他的團,Cradle Of Filth确也走出了自己的風格,他們自稱:“The Only True English Black Metal Band”(唯一真正的英國黑金屬樂團)。因此有人稱為“吸血金屬”

主要作品
唱片
CradleOfFilth的第3作"Dusk And Her Embrace"可說是史上最經典的Symphonic Gothic Black Metal專輯,它成功地将英國流傳已久的歌德文化與北歐的黑金屬元素結合在一起,造就出邪惡、仇恨、浪漫與黑暗的氣氛,有别于北歐的正統黑金屬風格。主唱Dani為CradleOfFilth的靈魂人物,他擁有所有黑金屬主唱之中最為尖銳的音調,宛如吸血鬼般的嘶吼咆嘯,既陰森又恐怖!如果将此專輯視為一張恐怖片電影配樂也頗洽當,首曲"Humana Inspired To Nightmare"以氣氛陰森的交響樂作為前導,猶如吸血鬼即将破棺而出!緊接着"Heaven Torn Asunder"以棺木開啟的音效為起始,随後來自地獄般的慘叫正是吸血鬼的複仇之音,加上低沉的哥德式男女吟唱與飄邈的美聲,更添黑暗之美!很少有專輯能夠真正做到既優美又殘暴的結合,而"Dusk And Her Embrace"确實已作到這點,Cradle Of Filth不愧是金屬哥特樂隊的王者。

歌詞
The Death of Love愛之幻滅
"Her penultimate sighsn她的倒數第二聲歎息
Called softly on the kindling winds
在和風中輕柔的召喚
Her saintly eyes, filling with tears, lifting with truth
她聖潔的雙眸噙滿淚水,因真理而堅定
And then a golden flash like the onset of Heaven
接着一道金光閃耀恍若天堂的日出
Leaving her screams, Breaking my heart
将她的尖叫擲于空中,擊碎了我的心髒
And in the grip of fire
在火焰的包圍之中
I knew the death of love"
我看到了愛之幻滅
Where will you be when they tense for warfare?
當他們為戰争而緊張之時你會在那?
What will you see with your innocence there?
懷着你的單純,無暇,你會見證什麼?
Where will you be my darling?
那個時刻你會在哪,我的摯愛?
Where will you be when they tense for warfare?
當他們為戰争而緊張之時你會在那?
Where will you be when God is glorifying?
當神的榮耀随着征戰而頌揚之時你會在哪?
There we will be between the dead and dying
當我們被抛棄在死者和将死者之間
Where will you be my darling?
那個時刻你會在哪,我的摯愛?
Where will you be when God is glorifying?
當神的榮耀随着征戰而頌揚之時你會在哪?
Prophecies and glory forge a massive disdain
預言和榮耀鍛打成深沉的鄙夷,對于那些
For lying passive in the shadows whilst the enemy reigns
謙卑俯身于敵人統治陰霾之下的懦夫
Devoted to the votive, holy standard above
我願為内心祈願而奉獻,上蒼神聖的準則
'By command of the king of Heaven'
“在天國之主的命令之下”
Came the death of love
義無反顧,選擇愛之消逝
Where will you be when they're vilifying?
當我被诽謗圍攻之時你會在哪?
How will they see when the truth is blinding?
當真理被刺瞎雙目之時你會見證什麼?
Where will you be my darling?
那個時刻你會在哪,我的摯愛?
Where will you be when they're vilifying?
當我被诽謗圍攻之時你會在哪?
Where will you be when the dark is rising?
當黑暗升騰而起之時你會在哪?
How will you keep from it's terrorizing?
你怎能在恐懼之中堅守内心?
Where will you be my darling?
那個時刻你會在哪,我的摯愛?
Where will you be when the dark is rising?
當黑暗升騰而起之時你會在哪?
Burning was the sunset like a portent of doom
墜落之日點燃如火晚霞,仿佛毀滅的先兆
On the saintly iron maiden as she fell from her wound
聖潔的鋼鐵女神力不能支,因傷口而倒下
But visions and ambition
但雄心和願景
Never listened to submission
從未屈從于降意
And she was on a mission from the highest above
她背負着上蒼的至高使命
To Lord upon the slaughter
聽從于生殺予奪的主
Like a sword through hissing water
如同燒紅的寶劍浸入沸水
She arose where archers sought her
她出現在弓箭手們找到她的地方
For the death of love
等待着為愛而死的命運
The righteous death of love
為愛光明正大的死去
Gilles adored her drama
吉爾斯欽慕于她的裝束
Her suit of pure white armour
她身着銀亮的甲胄
Blazed against the English in a torrent of light
如同火焰道标抗擊着英國,包裹着傾瀉而下的聖光
And as they rallied onto night
而此時他們卻在夜幕中密謀
A cancer fled his soul
惡疾注滿了他的靈魂
Dissolving...
人性漸漸溶解....
Framed amid the thick of fire
鏡框定格于濃烈的火焰中
Aflame, a Valkyrie
燃盡吧,飛翔的女武神
She made him click without desire
她讓他一見如故,别無所求
And in his eyes she swam a Goddess
而在他眼中,她恍若女神
And even when they caught her breath
即便當他們扼住她的呼吸
Her words would leave a scar
她的話也足以在他們心中留下創口
'For only in the grip of darkness
“隻有被暗夜籠罩
Will we shine amidst the brightest stars'
我們才能在最明亮的群星間閃耀”
How will you breathe when their wheels are turning?
當戰争之輪傾碾而下,你怎樣維持呼吸?
How will you know if the sky is burning?
當天空被戰火籠罩你怎樣聆聽召喚?
Where will you be my darling?
那個時候你會在哪,我的摯愛?
How will you breathe when their wheels are turning?
當戰争之輪傾碾而下,你怎樣維持呼吸?
Where will you be when Babel builds my fire?
當他們在巴别塔上為我堆起柴堆你會在哪?
Will you not flee and label me pariah?
你能否停下逃離的腳步,同他們一樣為我冠上賤民的标簽?
Where will you be my darling?
那個時候你會在哪,我的摯愛?
Where will you be when they light my pyre?
當他們為我點燃火葬的火把你會在哪?
Aligned with Joan in all
心中萦繞着貞德的影子
That was enthroned and divine
她早已因自己的神性而加冕
He swore to score the crimes
他發誓永遠銘記這種罪惡
Jackdaws poured on this dove
渡鴉血口诽謗着鴿子
Crimes he knew alone
唯有他心知肚明的罪惡
Derived from minds of the blind
因為世人的盲目而鑄成
The church unfurled for murder perched
教堂成為謀殺的庇護所
Upon the death of love
建立在對愛的抹殺之上
Framed amid the thick of fire
鏡框定格于濃烈的火焰中
Aflame, a Valkyrie
燃盡吧,飛翔的女武神
She claimed the sky was lit with spires
她聲稱靈魂的塔尖已然觸及天穹
And in his eyes she swam a Goddess
而在他眼中,她恍若女神
And even when she fought for breath
即便當她為呼吸而掙紮之時
Her words would leave a scar
她的話也足以在他們心中留下創口
'For only in the grip of darkness
“隻有被暗夜籠罩
Will we shine amidst the brightest stars'
我們才能在最明亮的群星間閃耀”
歌曲背景
聖女貞德(法語:Jeanne d'Arc或Jeanne la Pucelle,1412年1月6日-1431年5月30日)是法國的軍事家,天主教聖人,被法國人視為民族英雄。被稱為“奧爾良的少女”和“聖女貞德”,法國民族英雄、軍事家,天主教會的“聖女”。英法百年戰争(1337年~1453年)時她帶領法國軍隊對抗英軍的入侵,支持法查理七世加冕,為法國勝利做出了巨大貢獻。後為勃艮第公國所俘,宗教裁判所以“異端”和“女巫罪”判處她火刑。聖女貞德(法語:Jeanne d'Arc或Jeanne la Pucelle,1412年1月6日-1431年5月30日)是法國的軍事家,天主教聖人,被法國人視為民族英雄。
歌詞中出現過的另一個人物是吉爾斯·德·萊斯(Gilles de Rais)(1404年9月10日—1444年10月26日),歐洲曆史上著名的黑巫師。英法百年戰争時期他是貞德的戰友,曾被譽為民族英雄。但貞德被俘以後,男爵受到極大的精神打擊,并退隐于馬什庫勒和蒂福日的領地埋頭研究煉金術。他希望借血來發現點金術的秘密,大約把300名以上的兒童折磨緻死,後亦因此被施以火刑。他也是西方童話傳說中的反派角色“藍胡子”的現實原型之一。
gilles對貞德的仰慕并非空穴來風,并肩作戰之時貞德不足19歲而gilles也不足25歲,gilles非常仰慕貞德的品格,作為一名深明政治腐敗的貴族軍官也給予她不少建議甚至不止一次救過貞德的命。研究煉金術是因為他受蠱惑以為借此能複活死人,後來他被判決時甚至主動要求運用當時最痛苦最殘酷的火刑 .
