10th studio album due out October 30th on
Nuclear Blast Records
ENGLAND – UK extreme metal act, Cradle of Filth, has revealed the cover art for
its upcoming 10th studio album, The Manticore and Other
Horrors, due out October 30th in North America via Nuclear
Blast Records. Artwork comes courtesy of Matthew Vickerstaff
of Darkwaveart. Check it out below.
Recorded in
eight weeks at both Springvale and Grindstone studios (where it was also
mixed by Scott Atkins), Suffolk, the album is a testament to the longevity of
The 'Filth, as not only does it reek of Cradle's (feared or revered) brand of
delicious metal vamperotica, but this thoroughly modern album places the band
firmly in fresh killing fields anew.
The
Manticore and Other Horrors itself possesses an altogether new atmosphere for the band,
incorporating a heavier, faster NWOBBM punk vibe that is both current and
cruel, blended with ornate orchestration and the quirky immediateness of 2000's Midian opus.
The album’s
title 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.
Commented
the band’s infamous front man, Dani Filth, “This is our 10th 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 coming… Long live the filth!”
Cradle of
Filth will spread its darkness upon European lands with a tour throughout
November and December.
