Cradle Of Filth fans are invited to join guitarist Richard Shaw for a live Q&A session on Thursday, August 17th  at 8:00pm BST on the band's official Facebook page.

Cradle Of Filth will release their new album, Cryptoriana - The Seductiveness Of Decay, on September 22nd via Nuclear Blast Records. A lyric video for the album track, “You Will Know The Lion By His Claw”, is available for streaming below. The album is now available for pre-order here.

Cryptoriana - The Seductiveness Of Decay was recorded at Grindstone Studios, Suffolk, UK by the very honourable Scott Atkins, esq. who has been the resident go-to producer for Cradle Of Filth for several albums. Dani sat in during the mix, serving up flaming mugs of teas, making the studio couch his own and lending his ears when necessary.

The new album’s cover artwork by Artūrs Bērziņš can be seen below. Bērziņš is the mastermind behind the new record’s artwork, photography and videography – best known for his defiant neo-symbolism raster graphics and oil paintings; postmodern interpretations of classic myths. He has been proclaimed as a “sacred monster of Latvian postmodernism”.
