CRADLE OF FILTH INTERVIEW: GUITARIST PAUL ALLENDER. METAL BAND LIVE CONCERT PHOTOS, DARKLY DARKLY VENUS AVERSA.
I know many of you are fans of metal band Cradle of Filth. I had the opportunity to whip my hair back and forth at their Vancouver, Canada concert — as well as take photos, and interview guitarist Paul Allender for a video!
Watching Paul Allender’s fast-flying hands up close is a spellbinding experience.
Cradle of Filth are true professionals, when it comes to musicianship and performance. They played tracks from their latest album, Darkly, Darkly, Venus Aversa, as well as fan favorites like Her Ghost in the Fog and Nymphetamine.
Lumbering giants amidst a mad scientist set.
Vocalist Dani Filth raced around the stage with the enthusiasm of a little kid.
Rose and I hung out with band members Paul and David before the show. They’re good-natured guys, very chill…
Then they put on the makeup and spikes, and deliver a skull-crushing metal show!
Cradle of Filth is touring Europe until July; I hope you’ll catch one of their upcoming concert dates.
But wait — here’s the kicker! Rose and I interviewed Paul Allender about Cradle’s music, genre labels, and his horror photo manipulation project The Vomitorium. What does the metal guitarist think about Steampunk? Watch and be surprised.
My interview video is above and on YouTube. There are more Goth, metal and Visual Kei concert reports on my channel.
PS: Thanks to everyone who watched my Blog TV video stream yesterday. Wasn’t Basil Farrow a cutie-pie? I’ll do more live chats soon.
PPS: I recently got a request to interview Emilie Autumn. What other musicians would you like me to feature? Here’s a compilation of all my previous concert reviews, including Gackt, Moi dix Mois and Versailles.

Omigosh you got to meet Paul Allender! <3 !
Emilie Autumn is absolutely AMAZING – so exciting! How about Kaya – his Marie Antoinette thing is causing big hype? Louie & Jill of Rose Noire – truly brilliant? You could go Finnish and Goth out with The Rasmus, Tuomas Holopainen of Nightwish or Apocalyptica? How about Blackmore’s Night – Candice is a modern witch?
