Cradle of Filth will start recording the new album next month

Dani Filth, the leader of Cradle of Filth, was asked if the fan reaction to the band’s fourteenth studio album, “The Screaming Of The Valkyries,” which was released in March 2025 on Napalm Records, was everything he had hoped for in a recent interview with Australia’s Heavy, as per Blabbermouth.

Yeah. Above and beyond. ‘The Screaming Of The Valkyries’, it’s really charted high. The fans love it. It’s the next step up in our evolutionary step. The next record, which, obviously, we’re writing at the moment — [we’re] almost finished writing; [we’re] gonna be in the studio in about three weeks — again takes that to the next level.

We’ve had a fantastic few years. Post lockdown, obviously there’s been a lot of catching up to do. This is why we’ve been touring a lot, why we’ve been very creative. Yeah, I think we’re definitely walking into the right direction. The fans seem to like it, and that sort of matters.

When asked if the “old-school sounds and vibes that went into” “The Screaming Of The Valkyries” would recur in Cradle of Filth’s upcoming full-length, Dani responded as follows.

Well, yeah, we’ve moved the goalposts in all kinds of directions. It’s very hard to stipulate exactly what we’re doing. And, really, to be honest, it’s too early to be talking about our new album. We haven’t even decided — we’ve got a huge amount of tracks and we haven’t even decided which ones are going on the record as yet. That’s up to me and the producer. Next week he’s gonna come and visit my house and we’re gonna siphon through everything and decide what’s a keeper and what isn’t, what might need development. So, yeah, again, very early to talk about it.
