Fearnet.com recently caught up with CRADLE OF FILTH frontman Dani Filth to discuss the band's forthcoming albums. An excerpt is available below:

Q: Last I heard, you were about three or four tracks into the new album. How far along has it come at this point?

Dani: "Now it's progressed to five, with six in the pipeline. We're taking a little bit more time on this one, and I'm going about a different way of demoing. I'm sort of going though very different versions of singing it, without any words. It's very odd, but this way I've been able to find something a little bit more liquid, and more natural... "lycanthropic" would be a good word for it. It's not a concept album this time, so it doesn't need to be looked at as such a huge puzzle, but all the same it is hard to pigeonhole."

Q: Is it liberating to be freed from the whole story arc of a concept album?

Dani: "Yes it is... at the moment it's all very apocalypse-based, full of strange monsters and behemoths, things like that, and there's also a vampiric kind of slant to some of the tracks as well... but from album to album we like to twist and turn a bit, be a bit more serpentine and surprise people with what's coming next, so they can't predict what it's going be like. But then again, we don't want to make people think we're gonna go off on some big departure, like the 'hair days' of CELTIC FROST or anything (laughs). Nobody wants that."
