Black Metal's Gnarly Origins: With Cradle of Filth's Dani Filth

In the latest episode of REVOLVER's "Gnarly Origins" video series, Cradle of Filth frontman Dani Filth looks back on the colorful — and sometimes disturbing — history of the global black-metal movement and his band's involvement in the scene.

From trailblazing extreme music to church-burning criminality, he discusses the essential albums, the tabloid headlines and more — including the story behind COF's seminal debut, 'The Principle of Evil Made Flesh,' which turns 30 in 2024.
