Cradle Of Filth Unveil Artwork For Hammer Of The Witches
Cradle Of Filth have unveiled the cover art for their upcoming eleventh studio album Hammer Of The Witches, due out in July via Nuclear Blast. Frontman Dani Filth said:
“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.”
