Extreme metal purveyors CRADLE OF FILTH have reportedly finished the recording process for their new album and follow-up to Cryptoriana – The Seductiveness of Decay (2017).
Speaking to Knotfest.com, vocalist Dani Filth had the following to say about the proceedings:
“We’ve literally just finished recording an album, which we’ve had quite a long time to do, to be honest. We were very fortunate that Martin [‘Marthus’ Škaroupka] came in to do drums just before lockdown, and since then, everyone’s just been chipping in in bits. I’ve had the longest, as I live close to the studio, but it means we’ve been able to revisit songs, amend things, try loads of different ideas. We’ve probably gone over-budget, but we don’t really care about that as it’s going to be the best-sounding record we’ve ever done, and probably the best-written record.
“It’s been quite relaxing oddly being able to take our time with it without that pressure of deadlines, but it does mean with everyone doing things in parts as we were able, we’ve not all been together since the last show, and haven’t been with our new keyboard player as well who contributed to the album but hasn’t yet played a show.”
Speaking on the direction of the new material, Filth offered:
“It’s going somewhere entirely different from the previous records. It’s not going into space yet, but it’s different. I hate describing our albums because I get tongue-tied about them. There is a bit of experimentation in there. It’s heavier, faster, slower in parts. It’s definitely going to have a unique sound to it where we purposefully took that on board, aiming for a more natural live sound that’s more spacious. Like I said, we had that extra time to work on the record given to us this year… before all the leeway was taken back again.”
