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

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

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!

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

  2. Brutal Jay says:

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

  3. WookieBastage says:

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

  4. Eric says:

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

  5. Jesse Menard says:

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

  6. timmah says:

    meh

  7. Aaron says:

    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?

  8. Eric says:

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

  9. Phil says:

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

  10. Ivan says:

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

  11. dr j says:

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

  12. big_metal_al says:

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

  13. 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”.

  14. 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

  15. jason says:

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

  16. hibernum says:

    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?

  17. Cade says:

    Worst band on earth…who listens to this shit…

  18. Nocturne says:

    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.

  19. Kye says:

    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.

  20. canea says:

    hop in place, edward scissorhands.

  21. hate-crew says:

    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 :

  22. 36Thoughtless says:

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

  23. Justin says:

    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.

  24. axe says:

    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.

  25. Anti-hero says:

    This video is the best!Cradle of filth forever!

  26. lolwut says:

    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

  27. groverXIII says:

    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.

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

  29. CYN1C says:

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

  30. tim says:

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

  31. HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA
    HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHH
    AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA
    HHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA
    HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH
    AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH
    AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA
    HHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA
    HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA
    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAH
    AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    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?

  32. beardy says:

    not black metal

  33. Erzulie says:

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

  34. J-Flay says:

    Video was as mediocre as this comment.

  35. isadora says:

    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.

  36. -BrainDead-UKDM says:

    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.

  37. EB says:

    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.

  38. Eric says:

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

  39. DrEvo82 says:

    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.

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