“It’s just part of the evolution of Cradle” – Dani Filth reveals the release date of their new single

Frontman Dani Filth of Cradle Of Filth recently told Jorge Botas of Portugal’s Metal Global that the band’s eagerly anticipated new single and music video will be released on October 22nd.

[It] is great — great video, great song. It’s gonna be the first of a few singles before the album drops at the end of March, beginning of April. 

Will the fans like it?

I think they’re gonna love it. It’s just part of the evolution of Cradle. I mean, people ask me to describe it and it’s very hard to describe it. I’m not gonna say, ‘You know what? This is our ‘Cold Lake’. It’s just the next evolutionary step for Cradle. It’s got everything. There’s a lot of things that hark back atmospherically and indeed musically in places to early Cradle stuff. But then there’s a lot of very modern Cradle. It’s got everything.

The music doesn’t need to be challenging.

I don’t think it’s about challenging ourselves. It’s just finding an outlet for all this pent-up emotion. We’re not gonna be stopping with this record. The reason this record and the last record were slightly delayed was obviously because we had that fucking great pandemic happen. We’re actually writing new material now. We’re trying to speed up the process. So we’ll have a new record in ’27, beginning of ’27, if not sooner. But, obviously, there are events and especially milestones as well. So it’s very important not to overcook the pudding and do too much and dilute. And everything we do, we wanna make it as good as possible. We don’t release an album until we’re happy with it. People are gonna love the production on this record. The production is fucking amazing. And it’s got everything. It’s got some really catchy songs. It’s got some really — well, even the songs that are catchy have really fucking heavy parts in them. And catchy doesn’t necessarily mean not extreme. So, yeah, it’s another Cradle Of Filth record, but it’s more than just another Cradle Of Filth record. It’s another milestone.
