Cradle of Filth Unveils Eerie New Track "Malignant Perfection" Ahead of UK and European Tour
Cradle of Filth has unveiled their latest track "Malignant Perfection," released on October 22, 2024. The song serves as a "horrific homage to All Hallows Eve," celebrating the spirit of the witching season and invoking "dark, Autumnal splendour." Thematically, "Malignant Perfection" explores the tenuous line between life and death, featuring lyrics and visuals that delve into evil, the female deification of evil, and the breaking of the veil between the living and the dead.
While specific production details are not available, the music video for "Malignant Perfection" was directed by Vicente Cordero, with creative direction by MM Fabrications and contributions from Missy Munster.
The track's release coincides with Cradle of Filth's upcoming "By Order Of The Dragon" tour, which spans both the UK and Europe. The UK leg of the tour begins on October 27, 2024, in Bristol and concludes on November 8, 2024, in Newcastle, with notable stops in London, Manchester, and Glasgow. The European tour follows, starting on November 11, 2024, in Cologne, Germany, and wrapping up on December 8, 2024, in Tilburg, Netherlands, covering various cities across the continent.
Cradle of Filth, known for their extreme metal sound and theatrical performances, have recently completed a successful sold-out Australian tour. The band has also been active in the fashion world, collaborating with labels such as Vetement and Blackcraft Clothing. The release of "Malignant Perfection" and the accompanying tour demonstrate the band's ongoing creative output and live performance schedule.
