Nick Barker (Cradle of Filth, Dimmu Borgir, Lock Up, Old Man’s Child, Brujeria)

Nick Barker (Cradle of Filth, Dimmu Borgir, Lock Up, Old Man's Child, Brujeria). Nick Barker is one of the greatest extreme metal drummers, his career spans 30 years and many colossal albums. He was in Cradle of Filth for the flawed magnum opus, Cruelty and the Beast, which is the reason I was keen to chat to him. Nick shares his thoughts and doesn't hold back, so it was great to hear him offer so much insight. A companion episode to the conversation with Cruelty guitarist Stuart Anstis.
