Cradle Of Filth singer Dani Filth has spoken about his punk and skateboarding background in a new interview with Metal Hammer.
Before he co-founded one of the most controversial black metal bands in Britain, Filth spent his teens skating around his village in Suffolk, listening to hardcore and thrash metal music. He reveals that his antics on his skateboard annoyed the local council so much that they installed CCTV and even put gravel on a busy high street in attempts to discourage him.
