Just in time for the peak of spooky season, Cradle Of Filth has released a new track, “Malignant Perfection,” along with its music video. The gothic metal band from the UK worked with Vicente Cordero (known for his work with Bleeding Through and Filter) to direct the video.
Dani Filth, the band’s iconic vocalist, shared his thoughts on the new release, adding depth to its themes and visual presentation:
“Our new single and video, ‘Malignant Perfection’, is our horrific homage to All Hallows Eve, as embodied by the female deification of evil. It is a perfect musical accompaniment to the spirit of the witching season; invoking dark, Autumnal splendour and celebrating the time when the thin line between life and death is at its most tenuous and the denizens of the otherworld seek to break the veil into ours.
The video, directed by the imitable Vicente Cordero and featuring the creative masterstrokes of one Missy Munster, is a playground of seductive darkness rife with malicious monsters and cryptid creations, all vying voraciously for the viewer’s eternal soul.
This comes at a perfect juncture for the Halloween period and our ‘By Order Of The Dragon’ UK/European Autumn tour. It also arrives on the back of a sensational collaboration with massive fashion label Vetement and also Blackcraft Clothing, and in the fiery wake of a successful sold-out Australian tour.”
Although the release date for Cradle Of Filth’s fourteenth studio album hasn’t been announced yet, the band will be hitting the road later this month for their upcoming tour.
