Cradle of Filth Release Single 2024-10-22 by Trey STAFF | 36 Comments |
British extreme metal veterans Cradle of Filth have released a new single, "Malignant Perfection."
“Malignant Perfection” arrives just in time for the Halloween season, haunting with eerie keys, vampiric atmosphere, intricate riffs, and revered frontman Dani Filth’s iconic soaring vocals. The track is accompanied by a deliciously dark new official music video, which promises to be only the first of several upcoming visual delights brought to you by Cradle of Filth as they creep closer to the release of their 14th full-length album and Napalm Records studio debut.
Dani Filth divulges about the track and video:
"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."

Like an extended "From the Cradle to Enslave" or "Saffron's Curse" style song. Much less energy than their last few releases, but more atmosphere.
|
| |
Song rules.
|
| |
Be jamming this new single in the club with a bottle full of bub
|
| |
Keep expecting the next single to be the Cradle of Sheeran collab which is meant to be on the new album
|

>denizens of the otherworld seek to break the veil into ours.
Ha, right, like they want anything to do with us.
|
| |
Every time I see this band pop up all I can think of is Richmond from the IT Crowd and his recommendation of Coffin Fodder when talking to the grieving widow haha.
|
| |
i did not like this at all, hopefully a one off tune and not indicative of their direction
|

cradle of slipknot
|
| |
Saffron’s Curse vibes.
|
| |
Band hasn't missed a step since Hammer. It's no "She's a Fire" but that song is like top three cradle for me if I'm being honest.

|

I’ll wait for the radio edit. I’m sure they can get it down to 3:05.
|
| |
She is a Fire is an incredible song and I’m not even a CoF fan.

'I still remember the first time I heard the filth...' AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH
|

Started off boring then becomes very good. "less energy more atmosphere" [2], but there's plenty of energy in the peaks. I like it.
|
| |
She is a Fire rips hard but top 3 Cradle song? No way.
|
| |
Yeah I like it but it's a little tamer than their latest few records. We'll see where the album goes!
|
| |
Looking forward to their christmas song.
|
| |
Hard Rock Hallelujah with extra steps.
|
| |
Only that small blast beat segment saves it from the mall playlist.
|

> but top 3 Cradle song? No way.
Yeah I doubt many people would agree, but as a confined experience it is certainly top three for me. I don't think of just one song from DAHB for example, I have to spin the whole thing, so individually they don't rank as high.
It would come down to Desire in Violent Overture / Deflowering the Maidenhead / Wester Vespertine / Her Ghost in the Fog / She is a Fire duking it out I think.
|
| |
This is a very cute song.
|
| |
Kinda boring tbh
|
| |
A bit, but you have to remember it's for children.
|
| |
> Dani Filth’s iconic soaring vocals
Wut? He’s no John Denver.
|
| |
That is the correct description of his vocals.
|
| |
I have the opportunity to see them tonight.
But I lack the monies to pay for the ticket lol
|
| |
"Only that small blast beat segment saves it from the mall playlist." lol
|
| |
Honestly, this just sounds like them reverting back to the Nymph era with some blast beats thrown in. Def not loving it.
|
| |
Nymph era is super slept on.
|
| |
Yep it rules.
|
| |
Indeed it rules.
|
| |
"Like an extended "From the Cradle to Enslave" or "Saffron's Curse" style song. Much less energy than their last few releases, but more atmosphere". Oh someone's already said this
|
| |
In the top 3 Cradle song debate i say
Queen of Winter Throned no.1
Thirteen Autumns and a Widow
Cruelty Brought Thee Orchids.
and a fourth - Ebony Dressed for Sunset
