The gates of hell have opened once again revealing CRADLE OF FILTH's 13th manifesto, their new record entitled Existence Is Futile , set to be released on October 22 via Nuclear Blast . Pieced together in isolation at Grindstone Studios in Suffolk, with studio guru Scott Atkins ( Devilment / Benediction / Vader ), the band's latest chef-d'oeuvre is a pitch-black, perverse and at times absurdly brutal and extreme masterpiece following a truly nihilistic concept.

Imperious purveyors of a perennially unique strain of dark, dastardly and willfully extreme metal, with deep roots in the worlds of gothic horror and occult curiosity, the band led by Dani Filth has weathered three decades of tumult and trial, earning a formidable reputation as both a singular creative force and one of the most riotously entertaining live bands the metal world has ever produced.
