CRADLE OF FILTH shares video for 'Demagoguery'
12-03-2025
British extreme metallers CRADLE OF FILTH have released the official music video for the song “Demagoguery”. The track is featured on the band’s 14th studio album, “The Screaming Of The Valkyries“, which arrived on March 21 via Napalm Records.
Watch “Demagoguery” below.
“Demagoguery” director Shaun Hodson says about the video’s concept: “Subject Eleven, a marionette puppet, is controlled by the media, government and television, her every move dictated by their unseen strings. As a charismatic world leader rises, cloaked in promises of peace, the truth behind her manipulation becomes clear: she is part of a dark orchestration guiding the world toward the rise of the Antichrist.”
Watch the previously released “White Hellebore”,“To Live Deliciously” and “Malignant Perfection” below.
On “The Screaming Of The Valkyries”, Dani‘s recognizable scream and equally identifiable growl stand mightily alongside twin guitar attacks, symphonic flourishes and explosive rhythm section, implemented by drummer Martin “Marthus” Skaroupka, bassist Daniel Firth, guitarists Marek “Ashok” Smerda and Donny Burbage and keyboardist/vocalist Zoe Federoff.
Produced, recorded, mixed and mastered by Scott Atkins at Grindstone Studios in Suffolk, England, The Screaming of the Valkyries beckons the brave into a new era of CRADLE OF FILTH misadventure, celebrating massive melancholic melody, blackened thrash, and apocalyptic existential dread with a grinning smattering of unbridled revelry. The Screaming of the Valkyries is a bloody dark love letter to the longtime legion of CRADLE OF FILTH faithful and a stunning entryway for fresh lambs to the sonic slaughter.
