Cradle of Filth: The Screaming of the Valkyries will be released in April

Prepare yourselves, children of the night, because Cradle of Filth is back to drag you into the abyss.

This April, the metal titans will unleash The Screaming of the Valkyries, an album that promises to be as ferocious, dramatic, and unapologetically sinister as their legacy demands. Dani Filth and his unholy cohorts are sharpening their claws, ready to carve out yet another chapter in their dark history.

What do we know so far? Not much has been unveiled about the exact themes, but with a title like The Screaming of the Valkyries, you can bet your leather-bound soul that it will dive headfirst into Norse mythology, weaving it with Cradle’s signature blend of poetic blasphemy and Victorian horror.

Early whispers suggest a return to their orchestral roots, with massive symphonic arrangements that will undoubtedly collide with feral riffs and Dani’s banshee-like wails. Expect nothing less than a sonic storm of beauty and brutality.

If the rumors are true, the album’s production will once again elevate Cradle’s haunting atmosphere, following the polished yet visceral sound of Existence Is Futile. Whether you’re here for the blackened chaos, the theatrical flourishes, or Dani’s knack for weaving macabre stories, The Screaming of the Valkyries will undoubtedly deliver.

Mark your calendars for April and start practicing your corpse paint skills. This isn’t just another album drop—it’s a full-blown blackened celebration.

In the meantime, revisit the classics (Dusk… and Her Embrace, Midian, anyone?) and keep your ears open for a single that will likely drop soon. Cradle of Filth is ready to remind the world why they’re still at the pinnacle of extreme metal.
