You are all regular listeners of my Journal du Hard (what do you mean no?) so you are bound to have heard your dearest servant making fun of various bands’ press releases describing their new album as the most extreme, most violent, most brutal, most difficult piece in their career. So basically it is always the most in everything. Cradle of Filth’s latest EP, Dark, Darkly Venus Aversa, is one of these, however, the album is in fact good and does contain some intense tracks and aggressive riffs.
A little while ago, Cradle Of Filth left Roadrunner to join Peaceville Records because they preferred to be “a big fish in a small pond” rather than “a small fish in a big pond”. Is this due to lack of ambition or an effective calculation to glorify their work? According to the successful promotion that was made for this album, we sway largely towards the second option. Does this mean that Benzema should do the same by leaving Real Madrid to sign up with Arles-Avignon?
We also went on to mention the issues of stability within the English band’s line-up with the shy and honest guitarist Paul Allender. Issues which turn out not really to be issues since the band has always managed to promptly recover. Either way, Paul admits that the intensity of Cradle’s working rhythm generates pressure which very few are able to endure long term. In conclusion, the interview inevitably ended with a girly mention of make-up between two fashion victims.
Darkly, Darkly Venus Aversa was released on the 1st of November, a tour will be coming soon and according to Paul, Cradle Of Filth are hoping to get through all of the summer festivals. Perhaps the announcement from Hellfest next Friday giving out the names of the second list of acts will confirm this…
