Cradle Of Filth Premieres Official Video for “Right of the Garden Triptych” via Decibel Magazine
Barbarous hellhounds Cradle Of Filth ~ Dani Filth, vocals, Martin Skaroupka, drums, Daniel Firth, bass, Richard Shaw, guitar soul, Ashok, guitar soul, Lindsay Schoolcraft, keys and female vocals ~ recently announced the completion, release and cover artwork for their opus nocturne and 11th studio album entitled Hammer Of The Witches. It’s been three years since the release of their previous album ~ the longest gap in the band’s murky history ~ but finally, the wait is coming to an end! Fans can get their first taste of the new album in the form of the official video for new track “Right Wing Of The Garden Triptych:” Watch it over on Metal Hammer’s website or go for the uncensored version (always more fun) on Vimeo.
The video was directed by Sam Scott-Hunter (Devilment, Sipknot, The 69 Eyes), who also took the band’s promotional photos. In addition to featuring Dani and his troop of reprobates, the video also included an appearance by model and Kinbaku enthusiast Gestalta. You can now pick up the single on iTunes, too.
Front man Dani Filth commented that “The video for ‘Right Wing Of The Garden Triptych’ was an immense thrill to film as it was undertaken in a jet-engine testing hangar at a former U.S. Military base close to my home town of Ipswich, followed by an equally surreal afternoon spent under the aerobatic flightpath of the Imperial War Museum. Directed by Sam Scott-Hunter, the video is a realized phantasmagoria of horror and hell-bound heartistry, fully encapsulating the beautality of the first single from Hammer Of The Witches, and if my flagrant play-on-words doesn’t pique your interest, then the fact that it features a renowned rope bondage queen and the band in full swing just possibly might.”
The band’s highly anticipated and caliginous creation was brought to fruition in Britain’s Witch County, in darkest rural Suffolk at the reputedly haunted Grindstone Studios. The album’s title is named after the “Malleus Maleficarum,” a medieval document of guidelines regarding the persecution and torture of witches – but Cradle Of Filth’s title version is more retributory.
It’s the Hammer Of The Witches; the hammer is in the witches’ hands. It’s payback time.
Hammer Of The Witches is due for global release on July 10 and has the honor of being the first Nuclear Blast album to have a worldwide release date.
