After a very tumultuous year filled with legal wrangling and allegations between current and former members, British goth metal extremists Cradle Of Filth are shoring up songs for their 15th studio album. A interview recently conducted by HEAVY found frontman Dani Filth discussing what they’ve come up with for it so far.
Speaking on building off of the evolution of their 2025 release, “The Screaming Of The Valykries“, Filth shared [transcribed by theprp.com]:
“The next record — which obviously we’re writing at the moment — almost finished writing, we’re gonna be in the studio in about three weeks. Uh, again [it] takes that to the next level. We’ve had a fantastic few years. Post-lockdown, obviously, there’s been a lot of catching up to do. This is why we’ve been touring a lot. Why we’ve been very creative. I think we’re definitely walking into the right direction. The fans seem to like it and you know that’s all that matters.”
When asked if the group are aiming to have a more old school feel with this new record, or if they are planning to further expand their craft, Filth replied:
“We’re moving the goalposts in all kinds of directions. It’s very hard to to stipulate exactly what we’re doing, and really to be honest, it’s too early to be talking about our new album. We haven’t even decided… We’ve got a huge amount of tracks and we haven’t even decided which ones are going on the record as yet. That’s up to me and a producer next week. He’s going to come and visit my house and we’re going to cipher through everything and decide what’s a keeper and what isn’t, what might need development. So, yeah again, very early to talk about it.”
