Cradle Of Filth frontman Dani Filth is featured in a new interview with Sweden's Rock Sverige. He discusses the band's new album, Hammer Of The Witches, and look back on Cradle's long career. An excerpt is available below.

Q: How do you look at the first Cradle of Filth album today? Are there things you'd like to change?

Dani: "That sort of thing happens even now, when you´re listening back to new albums for the 1000th time and you go 'You know what, I should´ve done this...' even though you´re in the studio for hours making sure it´s perfect. But then you think that it´s there for a reason. I´m particularly proud of our first album (The Principle Of Evil Made Flesh) and it sounds quite barbaric when you listen to it. When that album came out, it was actually noted for its great production. It sounds dated now obviously, but I´m particularly proud of that one. It´s like a milestone in your career and to other people as well and things I hated about it, people actually loved. Each to their own, I guess."

"Cradle Of Filth are extremely pleased to be hitting the European road in support of our latest album, Hammer Of The Witches, even more so now that British dates have been indelibly grafted onto the beginning! The band is sounding better than ever and are exhilarated to be starting our world tour here in England, at Rottingham Knock City nonetheless, the proverbial hub of heavy metal!

We have an amazing setlist prepared already and everyone, including our infamous Crewdle Of Filth, are chomping at the bit to get out there and start levelling cities with our unique brand of raucous, Hellish music and stage production.

Cradle Of Filth have revealed the censored cover art for Hammer Of The Witches. The image below will be an insert over the actual cover on store shelves. It will be present in stores in North America as well as Europe.

Hammer Of The Witches will be released on Jewelcase CD, Limited Edition Digipak, Mail Order Edition and 2LP vinyl formats. This highly anticipated and caliginous creation was brought to fruition in Britain’s Witch County, in darkest rural Suffolk at the reputedly haunted Grindstone Studios.

Cradle Of Filth recently premiered the first track from Hammer Of The Witches, entitled “Right Wing Of The Garden Triptych”. According to a brief update from the band, the next single off the album will be "Deflowering The Maidenhead, Displeasuring The Goddess", due to be released in a few weeks.

The official video for “Right Wing Of The Garden Triptych” was filmed in an old jet-engine testing hangar at a former military base and was directed by Sam Scott-Hunter (Devilment, Slipknot, The 69 Eyes), who also took the band's promotional photos. As well as featuring Dani and his troop of reprobates, model and Kinbaku enthusiast Gestalta also makes an appearance. Watch how the idea came about and what the band had to say about the video below:

The official video for new track “Right Wing Of The Garden Triptych” can be found below. As well as featuring Dani and his troop of reprobates, model and Kinbaku enthusiast Gestalta also makes an appearance.

Frontman Dani Filth commented on the making of the video: "The video for 'Right Wing Of The Garden Triptych' was an immense thrill to film as it was undertaken in a jet-engine testing hangar at a former US Military base close to my home town of Ipswich, followed by an equally surreal afternoon spent under the aerobatic flightpath of the Imperial War Museum. Directed by Sam Scott-Hunter, the video is a realised phantasmagoria of horror and hell-bound heartistry, fully encapsulating the beautality of the first single from Hammer Of The Witches, and if my flagrant play-on-words doesn't pique your interest, then the fact that it features a renowned rope bondage queen and the band in full swing just possibly might."
