CRADLE OF FILTH's new video for the song 'The Death Of Love', taken from the band's latest album Godspeed On The Devil's Thunder, premiered on Metal Hammer Magazine's official website on July 31st. It is available below.

As previously reported, on Sunday, August 3rd, at 9:45 PM on BBC Radio 3, Cradle Of Filth frontman Dani Filth will be talking about Lord Tennyson, Queen Victoria's Poet Laureate. Read below for further details.

"Poet and writer Ruth Padel goes in search of the real Alfred, Lord Tennyson, a poet who for many people today is an iconic image of the Victorian era. We know him as Queen Victorian's Poet Laureate, an imposing figure with a beard and cape and the author of long poems often based on myths and legends. But this image hides other facets of Tennyson and obscures the fact that many creative artists today are drawing on his work.

Championing him as a poet for our times as well as his own, Ruth talks to figures as diverse as poet and former Laureate Andrew Motion, novelists Andrew O' Hagan and Adam Foulds, poet Jo Shapcott, rock musician Dani Filth, and academics Robert Douglas-Fairhurst and Angela Leighton. She hears how the figure of Tennyson has been an inspiration to them.

Ruth also investigates the real Alfred behind the image of grandeur. She finds out about his preoccupation with what he called the 'black blood' of his family, whose members were prone to breakdowns, alcoholism and madness. And she hears how these concerns led to Tennyson's ability to articulate neurosis and loss in his work even though, as Poet Laureate, he became an Establishment figure."

The Definitive Guide to the Realms of Darkness and Devilry...

The Gospel of Filth is the boldest, most comprehensive and authoritative guide to the realms of darkness and devilry ever published. Taking in every significant milestone and major landmark, this lavishly illustrated volume will prove to be the definitive guide to the dark side for decades to come. From ancient formulae for conjuring the goddesses of hell, to the latest research on the psychopathology of serial murder, no tombstone remains unturned in this wide-ranging and witty dissection of the uncanny and unholy, of the esoteric and erotic. Music forms The Gospel's entry point, but every medium, from movies and literature, to comics and computer games is considered, while the authorities consulted range from Oxford academics to metal musicians as well known for their criminal records as musical ones.
