Cradle of Filth’s Dani Filth on Dusk and Her Embrace (1996) & What It Takes to Be in the Band

Dani Filth of Cradle of Filth joins Christina on the We Wreck Records podcast to celebrate 30 years of Dusk and Her Embrace, the album that cemented the band's identity. We revisit the stories behind the record, from Peter Steele convincing Dani to stage a fake dressing room brawl, to choosing the iconic artwork with ghost hunter Simon Marsden, why Euronymous loved the band’s early demos and Dissection stole from them while black metal traditionalists balked at them, what it takes to survive in a band that’s had 37 members, and why atmosphere has always come before everything else.
