More new Cradle Of Filth music has just arrived online. The British metal vets are following up last month’s “To Live Deliciously” with a new single by the name of “White Hellebore“. Shaun Hodson took on the task of directing this latest clip, while vocalist Dani Filth offered up the following explanation of the song and its visual accompaniment:
“The wintertime flower of the title reminds us scintillatingly of our own mortality, flourishing in seasons of dying light and cold, frozen earth.
Blossoming in the shadows, this Hellebore’s flowers draw us deeply into the stygian darkness with her.
In context of this song, the White Hellebore of the title is an alluring woman not too distant in danger from the predatory black widow, fostering both hope and despair; A poison and an elixir, she is stunning to behold but ever deadly to taste.
This video -reeking of Lovecraftian gothic horror- presents the White Hellebore as a movie starlet who survives the grave through her dalliances with dark occult forces, a necromantic mystic tryst that an overzealous morgue attendant encounters with terrifying results, complimenting the song’s unholy matrimony of melody and mayhem.”
Next Friday, March 21st, will see the release of the band’s fourteenth studio album “The Screaming Of The Valkyries“.
