New Cradle of Filth Song 2021-07-30 by Fernando Alves STAFF | 24 Comments |
British black metallers Cradle of Filth shared the first single, 'Crawling King Chaos', off their upcoming new album Existence Is Futile, out October 22nd via Nuclear Blast. The official music video can be seen below.
Directed by Vicente Cordero
Dani Filth comments: "The album is about existentialism, existential dread and fear of the unknown. The concept wasn’t created by the pandemic. We’d written it all before that began, but the pandemic is the tip of the cotton-bud as far as the way the world’s going, you know? I guess the title, 'Existence Is Futile', does sound a little morbid. But again, it’s more about recognising that and saying that everything is permitted because nothing really matters, which mimics Aleister Crowley’s maxim. We all know we’re going to die, so we might as well indulge life while we have it. The final track on the album – 'Us, Dark, Invincible' – really emphasises that. Also, the artwork for this record was created by the Latvian visionary Arthur Berzinsh, who also dressed the last two albums, and that is exceedingly beautiful yet apocalyptic too."

1. The Fate Of The World On Our Shoulders

Absolutely rules and will complete the best return to form trilogy of albums of any band ever!
|
| |
Song absolutely rips.
Basically what Shemson said m/
|
| |
I agree. They are standing strong. Incredible. If the rest is more or less on this level, I won´t complain. Dani is almost 50, but sounds fantastic.
I just wished their videos would become edgier again like From the cradle to enslave.
|
| |
yep this is great
|
| |
gives me damnation and a day vibes which is dope cause thats one of my fave albums from them
|
| |
Nuclear Blast is not holding back with funky box sets´n´shit...
|
| |
Yeah Metaxu I said pretty much exactly that in the Cryptoriana thread - can’t wait for this!
|
| |
Cradle of Filth's redemption arc has been impressive. More or less the same lineup through the three albums (save for Lindsey Schoolcraft leaving) which is no mean feat for them.
|
| |
exciting song i really like the drama of the synths etc, it would actually be hilarious if this ended up being a bad or average album, but it's probably gonna be m/
|
| |
Killer riffing on here. I can live without the keys, but it wouldn't be Cradle with out them... The album artwork for this one is SICK, btw
|
| |
savage, as I've come to expect. m/
|
| |
band is one of the great comeback stories in metal history imo
|
| |
Oef yeah this is awesome. Can't wait for the rest.
|
| |
Absolutely agree with the contents regarding their comeback, based on the last two records. Almost time to check this, super hyped!!
|
| |
somewhere hawks is fanboying right now
|
| |
Every time a lead single by Cradle comes out he plays it 24 hours on repeat in his basement with his wife tied up and whippin it.
|
| |
Between this single promising a (hopefully) incredible trilogy of comeback albums and the two re-issues, its crazy how good this band has been.
|
| |
After 30+ years, to sound this fresh and inspired is no small feat.
|
| |
i think the drums could sound a little harder but otherwise p good.
|
| |
The drum sound is a little bit too close to being uncomfortably clicky, but hey, that's what Nuclear Blast does unfortunately. Track was good, needs some more spins before I can make out what's going on in all that chaos.
|
| |
"Everything is permitted because nothing really matters" Now that's a satanist claim.
|
| |
Spotify version is so much better, YouTube compressing the crap out of things as usual.
Song kicks so much ass, album is gonna complete the comeback trilogy m/
|
| |
spotify version does sound better I think yeah. Or at least without the music video I'm just focusing on the music more, either/or.
|
| |
Just realised we’re still almost three months away from the new album - that sucks!
