Cradle Of Filth, Butcher Babies, Ne Obliviscaris – House Of Blues – March 3, 2016
Cradle Of Filth the UK’s most visionary and hellish outfit have unveiled the serene and alluring, yet harrowing cover artwork for their upcoming 11th studio album and opus nocturne entitled, Hammer of The Witches. Fiendish main man and vocalist Dani Filth explained the provocative artwork: “The artwork for Hammer of The Witches was created by Latvian Artist Arthur Berzinsh and is a lavish walk-through of the lyricism, drawing on rich Renaissance themes and displaying them in beautiful yet unsettling scenarios. Half of the detailed pieces are totally original for the release, others are Berzinsh classics cunningly tailored to the themes of the album, which are themes rife with heady witchcraft, be it persecution, retribution or unfettered spiritual liberation. The female form is rampant throughout the artwork, unashamedly displayed in its classical rendition of beauty… and horror.”
Butcher Babies is an American metal band from Los Angeles, California. Frontwomen Heidi Shepherd and Carla Harvey, guitarist Henry Flury (Amen), bassist Jason Klein and drummer Chris Warner (Scars of Tomorrow) make up the band. Their style has been described as post-hardcore and thrash metal. The band has cited artists and bands such as Pantera, Guns N’ Roses, Marilyn Manson, Slayer and Slipknot as their influences. However, the band Plasmatics had the biggest influence on the band. In an interview, they stated “We are big fans of Wendy O. Williams. We took the name from the Plasmatics Song “Butcher Baby“. Wendy was a bad ass… she didn’t give a fuck what anyone thought… we share that spirit”
