Did you know about this? Apparently Dani Filth has been busier than we thought in his Cradle of Filth downtime, and makes a big announcement regarding a new band he has formed called Devilment.
The band members are Dani Filth on vocals, accompanied by Daniel Finch (guitar and samples) Colin Parks (rhythm guitar/lead guitar), Nick Johnson (bass guitar), Aaron Boast (drums), Lauren Francis (keyboards and vocals). Not a superstar line-up but obviously Mr. Filth has found some new minions to fulfil his side project ambitions.
The band announced that they have signed to Nuclear Blast, and will be releasing their debut album ‘The Great and Secret Show‘ in the autumn. If that’s not enough news for you they have also released a lyric video for their new single ‘Mother Kali‘ to give you a taste of what Dani away from the Filth sounds like. We can safely say – it’s not bad…not bad at all!
Dani had this to say upon the day’s news of officially announcing Devilment:
“I am thrilled to be a part of the Nuclear Blast family with my other band, the Witch County fiends Devilment. Our debut album The Great And Secret Show is a horror-metal fuelled slay ride of maleficent proportions and deserves some deep infernal love from a label that has dominated the metal market for aeons. And we have found that unconditional love at Nuclear Blast. All of us in the band are really looking forward to the forthcoming months, as the proverbial war machine kicks into gear and the album surfaces like some sub-aquatic monster hellbent on smashing stuff. Until then keep a cyclopean eye out for regular social media updates, videos and the announcement of live shows to further whet your appetite…”
Speaking to the press as he has always done. Also taking some time to talk about the album cover he said:
“The album cover depicts an intended escape by one of Jack The Ripper’s victims, (followed as she is down a moonlit Victorian alley) into another enchanted realm. Some might read it as an imagined release from the horrible pain to follow, but the artist Drake Mefestta and I thought it served to show the lure of the mystical, amid a sea of debauch. The artwork that follows in the booklet is a stunning articulate walk-through of that enchanted realm. The album is entitled The Great And Secret Show and concerns itself with the occult pulse behind the world, a land of imagination that can be slipped into at will. Like a generator buzzing behind everything. The truth behind the Wizards curtain. A phantasmagorical nightscape. A wonderland. A midnight playground. The fertile land of the dead.”
