Cradle Of Filth is back with a new song called "She Is A Fire" and their first new live album in 21 years titled Trouble And Their Double Lives (the last being Live Bait For The Dead in 2002). The live album was recorded at performances between 2014 and 2019 and was produced, mixed and mastered by Scott Atkins at Grindstone Studios. Trouble And Their Double Lives also features "She Is A Fire" as well as a second new track named "Demon Prince Regent."
"This track and the other original track on this album, 'Demon Prince Regent', were both written after the recording of Existence Is Futile and present a perfect, but not necessarily related, bridge between our Nuclear Blast days and the forthcoming album on Napalm Records," said Cradle Of Filth frontman Dani Filth.
"It was always intended to be a double album, so we just thought, 'fuck it! Let's cram some original material on there as well! The absolute worst of both worlds!' The song itself is about the epitome of burning passion; the dark inspiration of love and the creature that has ignited it."
On the live record, Filth offered: "I would say a live record was long overdue, judging by the 20-odd year gap between this and our previous offering! It also serves as a great accompaniment to the forthcoming co-headlining 'Double Trouble Live' tour(s) with DevilDriver, and strangely enough is also a notable gap-filler whilst we prepare our debut album for Napalm Records, due for mass excretion in 2024."
Pre-orders for Trouble And Their Double Lives are available here. The album runs as follows.
- "She is a Fire" (New Studio Track)
- "Heaven Torn Asunder"
- "Blackest Magick in Practice"
