Barbarous hellhounds Cradle Of Filth are set to release their forthcoming album “Hammer of the Witches” on July 10th, 2015 via Nuclear Blast Records. In anticipation of the release, we asked the band's verbose mouthpiece of Hell to tell us a bit more about the album artwork - watch as Dani Filth explains all below.
The artwork was created by Arthur Berzinsh who is best known for his defiant neo-symbolism raster graphics and oil paintings, postmodern interpretations of classic myths and refined hooliganism in the playground of contemporary art. He has been proclaimed as a “sacred monster of Latvian postmodernism”. And rightly so, his visually expressive and mannerly works tend to trigger emotions which can make thoughts fidget and wriggle, unable to find a comfortable position among the impressions gathered. His creative work is characterized by a varied range of voluptuous erotica, intensified imagery, dream-like scenes and decorativeness weighed down by visual metaphors and contrasts teetering on the edge of symbolism.
