Cradle Of Filth Unveils New Album Details

Grammy Award-nominated extreme metal institution Cradle Of Filth is thrilled to unveil their upcoming 14th studio album, "The Screaming Of The Valkyries," out March 21, 2025 via Napalm Records. Available for pre-order now, the album excels as a succinct summation of the ghosts of Cradle’s past, while taking bold new steps into the future.

Cradle Of Filth reigns supreme as one of the most revered, formative and notorious names in music – from the depths of the extreme metal underground to the peaks of mainstream pop culture itself, and are responsible for breaking ground for many of today’s top metal artists with their trademark mixture of blackened heaviness, macabre theatricality and scintillating gothic style. Now, following the release of 2021’s "Existence Is Futile" (#20 Billboard 200 with Hard Rock Genre), iconic frontman Dani Filth & Co. emerge again with a legacy-cementing opus.

Entrance yourself with a brand new Cradle Of Filth anthem for a new era – "To Live Deliciously" – out today. The track hits with rhythmic, menacing urgency built around a Libertine lyrical hook that twists and writhes with aggression, atmosphere and melody.

Cradle Of Filth master of ceremonies Dani Filth says about the new track:
"The song is about the celebration of life. Of indulging in everything unfettered from the conformities of religion, fashion or state. Free from guilt or constraint. As nature intended.

"It could be read as a hedonistic life code. And a positive one if not done at the expense or the suffering of others.

"To delight in simply’ being’. Being alive and free in the here and now." More...

Nachtblut Releases "Stirb Langsam" Video

German dark metal masters Nachtblut have released the energetic "Stirb Langsam" [Eng: Die slowly] today, taken from their upcoming seventh studio album "Todschick" [Eng: Dead chic], which will be released on February 21, 2025 via Napalm Records.

At first glance, "Stirb Langsam" may seem like an exuberant party anthem and an ode to alcohol, but it quickly reveals itself as a sharp social critique of excessive drinking and binge culture. Despite its profound message, the track’s driving rhythm, catchy chorus, and, not least, Askeroth's distinctive vocals make it irresistibly engaging. The single is accompanied by an impressive music video that perfectly captures and enhances the song’s atmosphere.

Nachtblut on their new single "Stirb Langsam":
"The most intellectual drinking song the world has ever heard, with poetic forays into the masterpieces of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Gotthold Ephraim Lessing. And, of course, in true Nachtblut fashion, behind the apparent drunkenness lies a razor-sharp message ... Because ‘Stirb Langsam’ is far more than just a drinking song – it only disguises itself as one." More...
