After revealing the title of their new album, Cradle of Filth has now confirmed its release date.
The Screaming Of the Valkyries — the follow-up to 2021’s Existence Is Futile — will arrive March 21 and is available for preorder now. Options include a limited-edition vinyl filled with what’s described as “liquid blood” and a coffin-shaped box set that includes a CD, pencil, bookmark, notebook and flag.
The first taste of the new record, a song called “To Live Deliciously,” is out Wednesday. Frontman Dani Filth says in a statement, “The song is about the celebration of life. Of indulging in everything unfettered from the conformities of religion, fashion or state. Free from guilt or constraint. As nature intended.”
“It could be read as a hedonistic life code. And a positive one if not done at the expense or the suffering of others,” he adds. “To delight in simply ‘being.’ Being alive and free in the here and now.”
As previously reported, the long-awaited collaboration between CoF and Ed Sheeran is not included on the record. In an interview with Metal Hammer, Dani said, “We don’t want it to overshadow the record. But we are going to bring it out. Originally, everybody wanted us to bring it out to glorious fanfare but Ed’s management weren’t keen on that.”
Here’s the track listing for The Screaming Of the Valkyries:
“To Live Deliciously”
“Demagoguery”
“The Trinity Of Shadows”
“Non Omnis Moriar”
“White Hellebore”
“You Are My Nautilus”
