Damien Gregori (also Greg Moffitt) is an Irish musician.

Cradle of Filth[edit]

Damien was keyboard player with UK band Cradle of Filth from 1995 to 1997, and appeared on two of the band's albums, V Empire or Dark Faerytales in Phallustein and Dusk and Her Embrace. He left the band in mid-1997.[1][2]

On the Lovecraft & Witch Hearts compilation CD, he wrote the band's biography in the booklet.

The name 'Damien Gregori' was taken from a Cradle of Filth press release. Throughout his time with the band, Greg was only ever known as 'Damien'.

Rock writer[edit]

Greg's career as a rock writer started in 1987 when he published an underground fanzine called A Piss in the Ocean, writing most of the material himself.

Taken from his Myspace page:

"I've been a rock writer since 1987 and have been widely published including appearances in Metal Hammer, Kerrang!, Terrorizer, Decibel, Record Collector, Music Collector, metal-is.com, various Guinness guides and other encyclopaedias and reference works, plus sleeve notes for bands such as Cradle of Filth and Venom. I actually almost completed my book on Venom - 'Sons of Satan' - but it'll never be published; I couldn't get 'them three to meet again'. In thunder, lightning or in rain. I also played keyboards in Cradle of Filth from 1995 to 1997"[3]

Greg joined the staff of Terrorizer Magazine in 1997, moved to Kerrang! in 2007 and then to Metal Hammer in 2008. He also writes for Decibel magazine.

Radio[edit]

In April 2012, Greg began hosting an online radio show at www.legalise-freedom.com
