Following the release of its brand new 14th studio album, The Screaming Of The Valkyries, released in March by Napalm Records, extreme metal institution Cradle Of Filth has unveiled a new video for the driving album track, "Demagoguery", providing an eerily disturbing backdrop to the song, which blends dark beauty, blast beats and slaytanic groove as only Cradle Of Filth can combine.
"Demagoguery" music video 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".
The video comes just in time for the band to kick off its UK/European headline tour, featuring support from label mates Nervosa - see below for current tour dates and, for more on The Screaming Of The Valkyries, follow HEREs. Link
