CRADLE OF FILTH Interview: Dani Filth on New Album, Censorship + Ed Sheeran

Cradle of Filth frontman Dani Filth spoke to us in a new interview about the band’s new album 'The Screaming of the Valkyries', what fans can expect from its sound, themes, and intense visuals.

He opens up about the creative process, working with long-time producer Scott Atkins, and why this album is a dark love letter to the band’s loyal followers. He also discusses the challenges of making provocative music in an age of online restrictions and censorship. Dani also talks further about the Ed Sheeran collaboration, how the track came together, what it sounds like and why he loves the “marriage of extremes” when it comes to musical partnerships.

There's also discussion on bands like Ghost and Sleep Token, the impact of social media, and why he refuses to become just another “content creator”.
