CRADLE OF FILTH Reveal Inspiration Behind New Album

Cradle Of Filth “have now fully entered the mixing stage of their latest musical whors d’oeuvres entitled Hammer Of The Witches, having just finished filming a video for the album track ‘Right Wing Of The Garden Triptych’ over a long weekend at a former U.S. Airbase in Suffolk (see still below).

The album – out via Nuclear Blast in the Summer – is inspired by the 1486 treatise on the prosecution of witches by Heinrich Kramer and subtitled Goetic Justice, as the theme is one… of violent revenge for violent persecution.

The album (fingers crossed and hopefully not by torture) will be delivered up to the proper authorities on April 20th. You have been warned.”
