CRADLE OF FILTH the UK’s most visionary and hellish outfit have unveiled the serene and alluring, yet harrowing cover artwork for their upcoming 11th studio album and opus nocturne entitled 'Hammer Of The Witches'. Fiendish main man and vocalist Dani Filth explained the provocative artwork: “The artwork for 'Hammer Of The Witches' was created by Latvian Artist Arthur Berzinsh and is a lavish walk-through of the lyricism, drawing on rich Renaissance themes and displaying them in beautiful yet unsettling scenarios.

The female form is rampant throughout the artwork, unashamedly displayed in its classical rendition of beauty... and horror.”
