  • NOT--- CHANGE THIS WITHOUT FIRST DISCUSSING IT ON THE TALK PAGE!!!--> band formed in Suffolk , England in 1991. It has been embraced and disowned with equal fervour by various metal communities, and its particular Subgenre has provoked a Great Deal Of Discussion . The band's sound evolved from Black Metal to a cleaner and more "produced" amalgam of Gothic Metal , Symphonic Black Metal and other Extreme Metal styles, while its lyrical themes and imagery are heavily influenced by Gothic Literature , Poetry , Mythology and Horror Films . The band has successfully broken free of its original niche by courting mainstream publicity (often to the chagrin of its early fanbase), and this increased accessibility has brought coverage by the likes of '' Kerrang! '' and MTV , frequent main stage appearances at major festivals such as Ozzfest and Download , and in turn a more "commercial" image. It is sometimes perceived as satanic by casual observers, although its outright lyrical references to Satanism are few and far between, and its use of satanic Imagery has arguably always had more to do with the Shock value than any seriously-held beliefs. According to '' Metal Hammer '' magazine, it is the most successful British metal band since Iron Maiden .'' Metal Hammer '', Issue 160, December 2006 - "British Steel", page 40. In March 2003 "Babalon A.D. (So Glad for the Madness)" was the first DVD-only single to reach the U.K. top 40, according to the Guinness book of records of British Hit singles and Albums.



EARLY YEARS

Cradle's first three years saw four Demo s recorded amidst the sort of rapid line-up fluctuations that have continued ever since (Cradle has generally had around half a dozen members at any one time, but can boast more than twenty musicians in its history). The band eventually signed to Cacophonous Records and its debut album, '' The Principle Of Evil Made Flesh '', was also Cacophonous's first release in 1994.
