Cradle Of Filth get hands dirty with new album and book, The Gospel of Filth.
Think about this (Wikipedia) statement: "According to Metal Hammer magazine, [Cradle Of Filth] are the most successful British metal band since Iron Maiden." Sounds funny, right? Okay, now really think about it. Not so much funny as it is true, right?
Far too early in the morning in Montreal, I'm speaking with Cradle Of Filth founder Dani Filth, the only member who's been with the band from its inception in the early 1990s until today. We're discussing Cradle's 2009, which will, for a time, revolve around touring new album “Godspeed on the Devil's Thunder”.
"I hope it'll be a good one, but I never like tempting fate," he says wisely. Then again, this is the same guy whose band merch, in the late '90s, included the infamous "I love Satan" shirts Cradle Of Filth members wore to the Vatican, so maybe he's just not tempting it today. Godspeed, the band's eighth LP, is a concept album based on the life and times of Gilles de Rais, onetime brother-in-arms to Joan of Arc and all around bad motherfucker often discussed as the first serial killer.” Says Dani: "It's chronological, not like satellites orbiting a theme. It's a story from start to finish and, because of the nature of the beast, the music on the new album is a little bit more symphonic, and bit more raucous and untamed."
Also, on the heels of film version of The Dirt, Cradle's 2009 also includes a book.
"[It's] at the publisher's at the moment," Dani says. "[It's] called The Gospel of Filth. It's not necessarily based about the band - it uses the band as a springboard to discuss other topics like Gothicism and romanticism and the occult."
