In a new interview with Australia’s “Heavy Music Magazine,” Dani Filth talked about the progress of their new album/recording session. He said…
“We’ve already done our track with Ed Sheeran, although that’ll be probably coming out on the special edition of the new album, but I can’t really talk much more about that, all legalities and what have you. We should be dropping a new single, actually, around the time of the Australian tour in September 2024, maybe a little bit later.”
You might think Ed Sheeran wouldn’t be a Cradle of Filth fan, but it’s true! He’s collaborating with them on a new song. We’re all really interested in hearing the end result, and I’m certainly not alone in that.
“The album we started last July, and our record company was, like, ‘Why are you taking so long?’ It’s, like, ‘Well, because we’re on tour.’ We started the album and then we literally went off on tour for two months. So, yeah, we’ve been very, very busy.”
He also talked about the musical direction
“It’s a step on from the last record. Same production values, same producer, although we always approach it from a different way, so it does sound a lot different. I can’t go too much into it because no matter what I say, it’s not really gonna justify or do do justice to the tracks on there. It’s very hard to explain. It’s got elements of ‘Dusk, And Her Embrace’ vibe-wise.
Vocally, it’s a bit of everything. It’s an aggressive record. It’s a very catchy record. Yeah, it’s just something that’s gonna really please our fans. We’ve worked very hard on it. And the last record was received really well, ‘Existence Is Futile’. It’s an advancement from that. But it’s not because I’m being told, ‘Keep it calm. You can’t talk about the record yet.’ It’s very difficult to talk about something that’s got so much in it.”
