Cradle Of Filth: Ear Blasting Metal!
Suffering from a ruptured ear drum and on the very day of his surgery, Dani still managed to conduct this phone interview with NJ’s The Aquarian!
Here few parts of it…
It was on a return flight to the U.S. to pick back up on their current tour when Cradle Of Filth frontman, Dani Filth, says he knew there was a problem with his ear. The excruciating pain clearly indicated something was wrong and sure enough he had ruptured his eardrum. In true metal fashion, Dani does not plan on taking any time off to recover. In fact, he did this very interview you’re about to read, the day of his surgery.
One of England’s finest metal descendants is currently touring the States in support of their eighth studio album, Godspeed On The Devil’s Thunder, released last fall on Roadrunner. The album’s concept was inspired by a 15th century mass murderer. How much more fucking metal can you get? I mean really.
The Aquarian: So tell me what’s new and exciting with you and Cradle Of Filth.
Dani: Well what’s new and exciting is that we’re out on this tour and I have a burst eardrum. We had five days off and we had a show get cancelled in Finland, it’s a long story. I went overnight back to England because it was my daughter’s birthday. On the way back on the plane, something went funny with my ear and I had to have an operation this afternoon. They had to cut into the actual eardrum because it was all pressurized.
The Aquarian: There has always been debate over the specific genre of music you guys fall into—black metal, death metal, heavy metal, goth metal, etc. The list goes on and on. Do you really even want to be labeled?
Dani: Labeling bands is just a thing for stacking records in shops. The biggest compliment that we can be paid would be just to be recognized solely as Cradle Of Filth, much as Iron Maiden is solely recognized as Iron Maiden.
