METAL KAOZ recently conducted an interview with DEVILMENT / CRADLE OF FILTH frontman, Dani Filth, who talked about the DEVILMENT debut, the band's touring plans, ans also revealed some of the songtitles of the upcoming CRADLE OF FILTH album that at the moment is 80% complete. An excerpt reads:
Q: Now that you mentioned again the new CRADLE OF FILTH album, what is its status?
A: Like I said, the album is 80% finished and we have a lot of material that sounds brilliant. It has a little bit of everything; very cool twin guitar work, very fast Thrash parts almost like Deathcore and I mean stuff like PAP SMEAR the really fast Speed Metal bands, but it’s very dark and symphonic. Everybody has contributed to this from Lindsay the keyboard player, Martin the drummer - everybody has been working very hard. We have to get most of it done by the time we get to Russia, so we have two and a half weeks and I have to finish the lyrics for a few songs but the songs are pretty much there; we just have to move stuff around and put some strange instrumentation.
Q: Should we be expecting a great difference in the guitars?
A: Not in the scale of things but they are more akin to the guitar work that was on “Dusk... And Her Embrace”, “Cruelty And The Beast” and “Midian”. So, it’s more melodic and if you can imagine a dissection between Death / Thrash / Black Metal /NWOBHM, that’s the comparison: very extreme but very melodic in places and very soundtrack-ish. Like a fast IRON MAIDEN or JUDAS PRIEST.
Q: Do you have a working title?
A: The working title for the album is “Hammer Of The Witches” but it’s just a working one at present. Some of the songtitles are: “Enshrined In Crematoria”, “Misery Code”, “Yours Immortaly”, “Achingly Beautiful”, “Dantiesque”, “Blackest Magic In Practice”, “Deflowering The Maiden Head / Displeasuring The Goddess”.
