GOD SPEED OF DEVIL'S THUNDER



Godspeed on the Devil's Thunder is the eighth studio album by English extreme metal band Cradle of Filth. It is a concept album, based on the true-life fall of grace of the infamous 15th century French serial killer, sexual deviant and Satanist Gilles De Rais, and is planned for release on October 28, 2008 by Roadrunner Records. A special edition of Godspeed on the Devil's Thunder is said to contain bonus material, as well. The album is being produced by Sabbat guitarist Andy Sneap, who previously worked with Cradle of Filth while mixing the band's 2006 album, Thornography.

The band's official message boards recently revealed parts of an interview with guitarist Paul Allender, conducted by MédiaMatinQuébec: "We already have four new songs ready and I have to say that they are... much faster than the songs on Thornography. [They] sound like old Cradle of Filth... A mixture of Midian and Dusk. . ." The interview goes on to state that the album is planned for fall 2008 and will be followed by a European and American tour. Headbanger's Blog recently talked with vocalist Dani Filth about the sound of the band's forthcoming album. The album is a concept record about a legendary serial killer from the 15th century, Gilles de Rais, a French nobleman who fought alongside Joan of Arc and accumulated great wealth before becoming a Satanist, sexual deviant and murderer. Filth also spoke about the song he wrote for Dario Argento's new horror film The Mother of Tears, the horror-themed video he wants to do for the new record, and the long-awaited history book he wrote with Gavin Baddeley, The Gospel of Filth: A Black Metal Bible, which he hopes will be out by Halloween — around the time Godspeed on the Devil's Thunder is planned for release.

Filth has also described the album as, "our most extreme, dramatic and deeply disturbing album to date. The legend of Gilles de Rais has been given fresh, vampyrical life in this conceptual meisterwerk, swathed in pitch-black magic and a viciousness unsurpassed in the annals of Cradle history. Screw what our detractors say, everyone who has heard this album has bruised their jaws on the pentagram-bejewelled floor."

Cradle of Filth tour in Europe with Gorgoroth, Moonspell, Septic Flesh and Asrai in December 2008 to support the album. The band will also headline a tour with Satyricon at the beginning of 2009.
