Here’s the official description:
Cradle of Filthโs return to supreme infernal decadence with new masterwork โThe Manticore & Other Horrorsโ.
Cradle of Filth formed in Suffolk in 1991 and after a string of demo recordings released their debut album, โThe Principle of Evil Made Fleshโ in 1994. The band have gone on to become one of the UKโs most successful metal acts, known for their dynamic symphonic style of gothic black metal, along with the dark poetic lyrics from the hand of enigmatic front-man Dani Filth.
The title of this, Cradle of Filthโs tenth studio full-length, can be likened to a bestiary, a collection of stories on Monsters; personal demons, Chimeras, literary fiends and world-enslaving entities to blame but a few, Manticore being the ravening title track. It is a song about a beautiful mythological horror that comes to be feared as the disfigurehead of foreign occupation in the Indian provinces.
The songs โIllicitusโ and โPallid Reflectionโ bare the sweet ingredients of vampirism and lycanthropy; the wicked โFor Your Vulgar Delectationโ and โFrost On her Pillowโ are woven perversely into grim fairytales, whilst classic, monumental tracks like โThe Abhorrentโ and โSiding With The Titansโ both extol tentacular Lovecraftian values.
The album itself possesses an altogether new atmosphere for the band, incorporating a heavier, faster NWOBBM (New Wave of British Black Metal) punk vibe that is both current and cruel, blended with ornate orchestration and the quirky immediateness of 2000โs Midian opus.
Recorded in eight weeks at both Springvale and Grindstone studios (where it was also mixed by Scott Atkins), Suffolk, the album is testament to the longevity of The โFilth, as not only does it reek of Cradleโs (feared or revered) brand of delicious metal vamperotica, but this thoroughly modern album places the band firmly in fresh killing fields anew.
Singer Dani Filth had this to say on the new album:
โThis is our tenth commandment in metal. We have diversified and kept alive the spirit of this band and breathed it into something that I can proudly say, slays like an absolute motherf**ker. The Manticore is comingโฆ Long live the filth!โCradle of Filth is also set to spread their darkness upon European lands with a tour throughout November & December.
