Cradle of Filth have released a lyric video for their new song, You Will Know The Lion By His Claw.
The track is cut from 'Cryptoriana - The Seductiveness Of Decay', the follow up to 2015's 'Hammer of the Witches', which is due out on September 22 via Nuclear Blast.
Speaking about it, vocalist Dani Filth said:
"This track is one of my favourite songs from the new 'Cryptoriana' album - aside from ‘Achingly Beautiful’, ‘Death And The Maiden’ and the title track- due to its very unique flavour and its vehement brutality. The culminative strike is especially very 'Dusk… and Her Embrace' era Black Metal…
Inspired by the works of H. Rider Haggard, a Victorian author who schooled in my home town of Ipswich, this song uses the railroad annexation of the Transvaal in Africa during the 19th century to paint a vision of the greedy machinations of man coming up against a furious, displaced natural foe, thus posing an allegory for the downtrodden, revolting.
I also have the latin of this expression tattooed on my arm (due to being the usual supercilious Leo!).
The quote was made famous having been said in 1697 by Johann Bernoulli about Isaac Newton's anonymously submitted solution to Bernoulli's challenge regarding the Brachistochrone curve.
So… Enjoy. Indulge. Desire. Darken."
The extreme metallers will follow up the record's release with a UK and Ireland tour.
