The Gospel of Filth: A Bible of Decadence & Darkness

If you want a book that has it all with a ton of color pictures on EVERY page, flavored history of darkness and the occult, and just mesmerizing writing, then look no further. The Gospel of Filth is without a doubt the most interesting book on anything gothic/dark/scary/occult/artistic/musical out there. I've yet to see any book richer than this one in terms of occult history, the development of black metal (and many other different forms of metal), darkness, and decadence all in the same book. There are a plethora of pictures that have remained unpublished until this book surfaced, and there's literally eye candy on every single page. Order this now! You won't be disappointed! Even for those who think they know it all on the above mentioned topics, you'll learn a lot more than you bargained for.......And that's what makes a stellar book!

As a huge Cradle of Filth fan, I was always very interested in the beautiful and articulate music they create. Dani is such an intellectual and watching/reading interviews always left me with a hunger for knowledge. This book is an amazing source if you're a fan of the band, goth/metal culture, the occult or bold art. The photography and art in this book is beautiful and the content very interesting. Written vey articulately, this book has inspired me in my music, photography and art and I have no doubt it could do the same for others. The background of the band isn't the only thing that is covered. Very, very good book. This truly is THE bible of decadence and darkness.

ME QUEDE ESTUPEFACTO AL COMPRAR ESTE LIBRO, TIENE MUCHAS PAGINAS CON INFORMACION ACERCA DE LA BANDA, DEL BLACK METAL, Y OTRAS CORRIENTES TANTO ARTISTICAS COMO MUSICALES EN TORNO AL MUNDO DE CRADLE, ILUSTRADO CON FOTOS, DIBUJOS Y DEMAS COSAS, TODO A COLOR Y EN UNA CALIDAD IMPRESIONANTE, SI ERES FAN DE CRADLE OF FILTH ESTE LIBRO DEBES DE TENER Y SI TE GUSTA LA MUSICA EN GENERAL, EL METAL SOBRE TODO DEBES DE COMPRARLO TAMBIEN....

This is a biased review so read with caution. Dont get me wrong the book has tons of pictures, tons of info and is good quality so that's why I'm rating it 4/5. Being a huge fan of the band personally I was expecting to dive into the mind of Dani and the rest of the band on a more personal level but that's not how this book is written. This book is more like a history text book written from a third person point of view. The book throws a bunch of information your way. For some that can be awesome but for me the huge amount of info at times felt irrelevant to the bands story. As I said this is a biased review and I actually let a friend borrow the book and his opinion of it is the complete opposite and he loves it haha.

Wow! Soo many amazing pictures I wasnt expecting it to be this awesome ☺I just wish I got it in hardcover cause yeah, this book is a keeper. It would make for a great goth coffee table read oh also looks like I'm gonna have to buy another copy because I collages my wall with art from the book (;

This is not a book. This is a gateway to a whole galaxy of knowledge. I tried to read just a bit of it, but it's so well written that's a pleasure. Page after page of fact filled data, Dani's comments only make it more enjoyable. I won't give details, but if you have the slightest interest in anything related to the dark realm, this is a good starting point. The author talks to the reader with respect, never skipping details or using scientific complicated vocabulary. I can easily see this as one of those desert island books. A great addition to any metal,horror, dark fantasy fan.

I was not expecting this book to be so detailed. I am more than impressed with the book. Full color pages and history of the band as well as all things magick, satan, and dark. Get this book before they are more hard to find than they already are.

Purchased as a gift for my father. He is a big fan and has wanted this for a while. So glad I could finally get it! He hasn't put it down since he got it!
