death and black metal are two entirely different genres. Death metal usually has deep growling vocals, and more “heavy” riffs.

Black metal has higher, screechy demon vocals. And is less “heavy” and has more repetition.

Cradle Of Filth is not remotely Death Metal. They used to be Black, but now they’re far more Symphonic/Power Metal.

Black Metal is characterised by high pitched, raspy vocals, high speed songs, poor production quality and a general running theme of religion being shit.

Death Metal has deep, roaring vocals, generally extremely technical musicianship (although obviously not always the case) and Death Metal players often attempt to reach the highest speed possible.

In general, Death Metal is about brutality, technicality, precision and speed.

Lyrics range from anti-religion (Deicide) to grandiose, poetic lyrics (Opeth) to satanism (fuck loads of them) to just being as gory as possible (Gore Metal: Cannibal Corpse, Cryptopsy). Lyrics tend to be second place to the music though, as it’s not like anyone can understand the lyrics anyway.
