Witch county metallers Cradle Of Filth have released a lyric video for their new track ‘Achingly beautiful’ which is taken from their forthcoming album ‘Cryptoriana – The Seductiveness Of Decay’.
“Influenced by the stories of E.F Benson, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, H.Rider Haggard, Oscar Wilde, Arthur Machen and Algernon Blackwood to shame but a few, this song concerns itself with a spectral guest at a great masked ball who, (deeply embedded in his cruel libertine nature, attends merely for merciless, seductive sport), but instead discovers the woman of his dreams and both bewitching the other, finds in her his dark, immortal equal.” Comments Dani Filth.
“I love this song as it has a very old school Cradle vibe for me, both lyrically and musically, and reeking hideously of the Vampiric, the dropdown section in the middle is pure ‘A Gothic Romance’.”
‘Cryptoriana – The Seductiveness Of Decay’ is set for release on 22nd september and available to pre-order now via Nuclear blast.
