FROM CRADLE OF FILTH:
Barbarous hellhounds Cradle Of Filth are set to release their forthcoming album ‘Hammer Of The Witches’ on July 10th. The band recently revealed the first track from the new offering and today sees front man Dani and his filthy cohorts discussing the writing of the album in the first of a series of album trailers. Listen to how the album came about, here: http://youtu.be/u3lNhek-hjs
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 and it's payback time.
