Cradle Of Filth - Malignant Perfection (video 2024)
Listen to “Malignant Perfection“ now:
Directed by Vicente Cordero
Creative Director: MM Fabrications
Dani Filth divulges about the track and video:
“Our new single and video, ’Malignant Perfection’, is our horrific homage to All Hallows Eve, as embodied by the female deification of evil. It is a perfect musical accompaniment to the spirit of the witching season; invoking dark, Autumnal splendour and celebrating the time when the thin line between life and death is at its most tenuous and the denizens of the otherworld seek to break the veil into ours.
The video, directed by the imitable Vicente Cordero and featuring the creative masterstrokes of one Missy Munster, is a playground of seductive darkness rife with malicious monsters and cryptid creations, all vying voraciously for the viewer’s eternal soul.
This comes at a perfect juncture for the Halloween period and our ‘By Order Of The Dragon’ UK/European Autumn tour. It also arrives on the back of a sensational collaboration with massive fashion label Vetement and also Blackcraft Clothing, and in the fiery wake of a successful sold-out Australian tour.“
Malignant Perfection Lyrics
Kindred may I introduce
Upon the mortal fools
The evil that has shaken loose
From bondage to now rule
She walks at dusk to tragic serenades
As the river shivers at her passing darkness
Tonight it ends, the sun
Bleeds out across the fields
The last of summer bends, undone
By the seed of winter’s build
She comes with malignant perfection
Mass erection
Temples praise the brazen goddess
On All Hallows Eve
Free the demons from my soul untethered
Prise wide the rifts All Hallows Eve
Be the conduit of dreams forever
Autumn leaves lay tribute, thunder peals
As her voice uncurls in the clifftop beacons
_I break the gates of chaos neath my heels_
Bad shadows dance, stray daylights weaken
As above and so below
The haunted angels sing
A love rekindled for the crows
The flaunted death of everything
She is a scar with a wicker tiara
Inamorata,
Fire-starter, hills ablaze
On All Hallows Eve
Free the demons from my soul, untethered
Accept these gifts my pallid Queen
Be the conduit of screams forever more…
Embrace the uninhibited
In the face of the coming storm
A precipice
On the abyss
Lean o’er to kiss
The things given to rue
Danse macabre
A grand bizarre
Now the veil parts
For fates to slither through
She comes with malignant perfection
Mass erection
Temples praise the brazen goddess
On All Hallows Eve
Free the demons from my soul, untethered
Prise wide the rifts on All Hallows Eve
Be the conduit of dreams forever
On All Hallows Eve
Be the conduit of screams forever more…
