EXCLUSIVE VIDEO PREMIERE: CRADLE OF FILTH, “THE DEATH OF LOVE”

Friday, July 31st, 2009 at 11:00am by

MetalSucks is proud to present the exclusive premiere of “The Death of Love,” the epic new video from Cradle of Filth! It’s got war, blood, beautiful women, and a lesson in medieval French history. What else would you expect from symphonic black metal’s most infamous band?

The track comes off of COF’s latest, Godspeed On the Devil’s Thunder, which is out now on Roadrunner Records. We hope you dig the video as much as we do!

[This exclusive has now ended.]

    video doesn’t work like a lot of stuff on this site. FAIL

    • Fink

      Seems to the video works for everyone but you… so remind me, who failed?

        Well, sometimes (at least on my computer) the “exclusive” videos that MetalSucks posts don’t show up… But I just refresh the page and it works fine.

      Good video. Song doesn’t really go anywhere though, same riff over and over…

      Better than most black metal though, thats for sure.

      • Canvas Of Flesh

        This is black metal?

        • 20 eyes

          Its D&D Metal

    The video worked for me. And, I really liked it. Incorporates the story of the album very well.

  • WookieBastage

    I can appreciate the instrumentals; I just don’t like his voice.

    • Monique Kills Warrior

      He is who makes Cradle what Cradle really is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let’s not forget the Deva…….

    Check out the video of us (throne of malediction) doing a cover of this song!!! A tribute to the mighty Cradle!!!!

    I liked the new album, but they could have picked a different song to make a video for.

    • sandler

      Totally agree…. Bad song and bad video…. I am absolutely disappointed…. I expected something more interesting

      • levi reed

        fuck that shit great song and great video

  • timmah

    meh

  • Aaron

    I love this band, but they keep making it hard on me. Does the record company think that by picking a more acceptable ‘Filth song they are actually going to gain fans? Let people see what the band does best: blackened gothy thrash. Also, isn’t corpse paint suposed to be scary? Not comical? Hmmm?

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Jesse-Menard/502061034 Jesse Menard

      I know what you mean. They have so much more better material to put a video to – even watching this video you could tell they were bored playing it.

  • http://www.myspace.com/throneofmalediction Eric

    Watch our version, we are not bored playing it hahahaha We also sped it up a bit….See it here…

  • Phil

    Wow, that’s bad. I wouldn’t be surprised to see this song on pop charts soon.

  • Ivan

    the video is fucking awesome for me
    and the song is one of my favorites off godspeed

  • dr j

    This shit made me laugh. How can anyone like this.

    • EzorDer

      HA HA HA! Right. I fucking hate seeing the video. Their music is pretty kick ass but the way they present themselves…it’s not all there…and neither are they.

  • http://www.smnnews.com big_metal_al

    Hell yes! Love it, and love the album! Girl kinda looks like Pheobe from Friends, lol.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Robert-Livingston/25310975 Robert Livingston

    For the longest time, I ignored CoF thinking they were far too cheesy. I gave Godspeed… a spin, and now I find myself listening to the past catalogue. The video, however, like most of their videos I’ve checked out, is just “meh”. Not bad, just “meh”.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Amanda-Rae-Leitch/698196371 Amanda-Rae Leitch

    its not as good as some of there other videos….
    looks like it only took them one take lol
    i still LoVe them though!!!!!!!
    fucking great live in sydney

  • jason

    High production value for this video doesn’t make CoF any less gay.

    • Itheus

      pwned! LOLZ

  • http://www.hibernum.net hibernum

    This song is not bad. But it also isn’t good. It is an almost song. Some good guitar riffs and such in there, but like so many things it got lost along the way.

    P.S., can nobody make a good video anymore?

  • Cade

    Worst band on earth…who listens to this shit…

    • http://prophetsofdoom.wordpress.com hate-crew

      +1 to you.

  • Nocturne

    I love the song, but I have to admit that video sucks. I understand having to edit certain parts of the song to make it fit, but cutting out some of the more dynamic pieces isn’t the best direction to go, in my opinion. It left the video musically monotonous and visually boring (nothing really happens in the video, much different than how I imagined when just listening to the song). Anyway, I’ve still got “Honey & Sulfur”, I love that video.

  • Kye

    One of my least favorite songs on the new CD, but quite obviously a single from the beginning so I’m not surprised. Regardless, it’s not a bad video, but they’ve had better.

  • canea

    hop in place, edward scissorhands.

  • http://prophetsofdoom.wordpress.com hate-crew

    Dani Filth is ruining metal. not just black metal either…he has somehow found a way to put a sour taste on ALL metal. fuck that douche bag.

    just look at this jackass :

  • 36Thoughtless

    Man, this is bad, almost as bad as the Rammstein/t.a.t.u. collaboration I heard, or maybe worse.

  • Justin

    Hey looks its that slut ashlee who sold out and left abigail williams for this band.

    On another note, this guy has some of the worst vocals ive ever heard. There not even tolerable.

  • axe

    boring and unoriginal. CoF is so 1998. they have always been a dumbed down goth band with hot chicks in their videos. abigail williams is vastly superior to this polished turd.

    • Gah

      Don’t squeeze Goths into this. We have nothing to do with douchebags.

      • axe

        yeah, that’s why i said dumbed down. dumbed down to mallcore level.

        • Gah

          Even ‘dumbed’ down goth rock/metal bands don’t sound this bad.

  • Anti-hero

    This video is the best!Cradle of filth forever!

  • lolwut

    music like most of there stuff is great till Mr. filth opens his fucking mouth i wish he’d get a fucking tumor on his vocal chords then he can stay BUT they would be come instrumental and still be fantastic

  • groverXIII

    I’ve tried to like Cradle Of Filth in the past… they’ve got the watered-down, symphonic black metal thing going, and that tends to be more along the lines of what i prefer. However, Dani Filth’s vocals are horrendous, especially the higher-pitched howls that he does, and renders them entirely unlistenable as far as I’m concerned.

  • http://www.grigore.org Francis Dennot

    I like it, I am sure that many people thnk like me, I´m listening once twice and many tmes again again.

  • CYN1C

    Yeah, it’s alright. Nowhere near anything off Cruelty or Midian but still way better than anything off of Thornography.

  • tim

    Meh, never liked CoF. This video did nothing to help that.

    THAT’S WITHOUT A DOUBT THE WACKEST SHIT I’VE EVER SEEN!

    AND I’VE SEEN A LOT OF WACK SHIT IN MY DAYS AS AN EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGIST.

    ACTUALLY TO BE PERFECTLY HONEST I MAY HAVE TO RE-THINK MY STANCE ON EVOLUTION AFTER WATCHING THOSE MORONIC HALF-WITS BUMMING AROUND.

    WHAT A BUNCH OF GAYBOYS.

    P.S. WHEN DID THIS WEB SITE START COVERING POP MUSIC?

    • Gah

      This gues under broken sarcasm.
      AND CAPS ABUSE.

    • http://www.thedevilsdemons.com vincent p

      Yikes. Criminally unfunny.

      • http://richarddawkins.net/ RICHARD DAWKINS

        YOU THINK ‘METALOCALYPSE’ IS FUNNY, ‘VINCENT’.

  • beardy

    not black metal

    • Monique Kills Warrior

      And what makes i so?

      • Monique Kills Warrior

        I meant to say it……

  • Erzulie

    Atually it works )
    Very beautiful and light clip) CoF still rocks!)) <3

  • J-Flay

    Video was as mediocre as this comment.

  • isadora

    It’s a cool video, but..it’s not the best we know they CAN do. This is not the best stuff from COF. I love them, I love the old and the new stuff, but…something is not working very well these days. Dani and the rest of the guys look tired and totally uninspired in the video. I think they’re in some serious need of a break and a career reconsideration.

  • -BrainDead-UKDM

    WTF is this?!
    what happened to the grit of videos such as babylon AD and born in a burial gown?
    looks like they thought “ahh fuck it, lets just make a compilation of cradle to enslave, ghost in the fog and nyphetamine”
    people who cant see the video… you aint missing much…
    once again another band ruined by roadrunner.

  • EB

    Awesome song and awesome video and deep inside you all know it. So stop being big losers and enjoy the music or go listen to something less “commercial” like the soud of flushing your toilet.

  • Eric

    Garbage. C’mon… it’s 2009 and bands still singing about swords, demons and battles? Oh and the face paint… lame and boring.

  • DrEvo82

    I like COF and I liked the video but I do think that it could have been a lot better. Unless you know the history, and yes it is actual history, behind the story, the video doesn’t make much sense. Do a little research and you will understand what they were going for. Although they could have done a much better job with it. Also, this type of music in general does not appeal to most people. They need to bring back Rosie though, she will be missed. She definitely gets my vote for hottest keyboard player.

  • Monique Kills Warrior

    I can’t believe Dani cut his beautiful hair. I LOVE C.O.F

  • http://mog.com/blog_posts/1418016/mogbar manoj kumar

    fuckin awesome video by filth……

  • lacee

    This video is ridiculous! Or just a ridiculous make our medieval video like dimmu borgir did. Well, Dimmu is much better.
