Cradle of Filth will release forthcoming album "Hammer of the Witches" on July 10th via Nuclear Blast. In anticipation of the release, the band's verbose mouthpiece of Hell, Dani Filth, tells us a bit more about the album artwork in a new teaser video available below.

The artwork was created by Arthur Berzinsh who is best known for his defiant neo-symbolism raster graphics and oil paintings, postmodern interpretations of classic myths and refined hooliganism in the playground of contemporary art.

"Hammer of the Witches" 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.

What's Next?

I stared at the screen grab for this video for the longest time before actually clicking play. I just stared... and laughed.

When I finally hit play and listened to him try to actually be coherent.. I laughed again.
Then I imagined that Danni was replaced by Richard Hammond with make-up by Tim Burton... and I laughed some more.

I just can't take this guy seriously. It's impossible.
