    I stopped listening to CoF after Nymphetamine, but I’ve always appreciated their commitment to the gothic, sort of Halloween schtick. I listened to them before I even knew what black metal was, so they were definitely a gateway band for me.

      Yeah, IMO they found their sound on From the Cradle to Enslave -> Midian -> Bitter Suites era; tried something different when they got all that Sony money for Damnation; and then reverted back to this sound on every album since then. Like Megadeth or AC/DC, you know what you’re going to get.

      Good to see they are still out there touring. IIRC, Dani Filth turned 51 in July.

          Me either! Tbh, 2024 has been a good year in metal overall. Judas Priest is another band I didn’t expect to see anything from. Dimmu Borgir is supposedly recording actively. Ensiferum dropped a damn good one. Behemoth has one that’s supposed to be out soon. On my end of things, I’m happy as a pig in slops!
