Black Metal
The first wave of bands to influence the sound were Venom and Bathory.
The second wave came in the early 90's in the form of Norwegian Black Metal, some bands that defined the genre, Mayhem, Immortal, Darkthrone and of course Emperor.
Cradle of Filth evolved from Black Metal and became a cleaner and more produced version of both Gothic Metal, Black Metal and other extreme metal styles. It is widely debated amongst fans of metal whether Cradle Of Filth belong to the Black Metal genre.
