Cradle Of Filth ink deal with Nuclear Blast

British extreme metal band Cradle Of Filth have signed a worldwide deal with Nuclear Blast Records.

The announcement comes ahead of the release of the band’s eleventh studio album. The LP is tentatively slated for release in 2015 and, according to frontman Dani Filth, has a working title of Hammer Of The Witches.

Says Filth of the news: “Nuclear Blast owner Markus Staiger has been trying to snare the band ever since I flew over to see him way back in 1996 as a viable label option, after we left Cacophonous Records. He barely missed out due to the close proximity to the band of Music For Nations, the label that Cradle stayed with until 2001.”

“For the full frontal assault we have planned for the awesome new album, Nuclear Blast are the perfect war stallion to carry us screaming into the heart of the next chapter of Cradle Of Filth’s dark, enigmatic history.”
