Cradle of Filth Unleash Sinister New Single “White Hellebore” and Music Video
Dark metal legends Cradle of Filth have dropped their intense third single, “White Hellebore,” along with a captivating new music video. This track, featured on their upcoming album “The Screaming of the Valkyries”, is set to be released on March 21, 2025, via Napalm Records. Don’t miss out—pre-order now!
Cradle of Filth fans in North America will soon get a chance to experience the band’s electrifying live performances as they hit the road.
Building on the success of their recent single “To Live Deliciously,” Cradle of Filth continues to satisfy their audience’s cravings for eerie and enthralling metal sounds. “White Hellebore,” directed by Shaun Hodson, dives deep into dark themes and musical complexity.
Dani Filth, the creative mastermind behind the band, describes “White Hellebore” and its video: “The wintertime flower of the title reminds us scintillatingly of our own mortality, flourishing in seasons of dying light and cold, frozen earth. Blossoming in the shadows, this Hellebore’s flowers draw us deeply into the stygian darkness with her. In context of this song, the White Hellebore of the title is an alluring woman not too distant in danger from the predatory black widow, fostering both hope and despair. A poison and an elixir, she is stunning to behold but ever deadly to taste. This video — reeking of Lovecraftian gothic horror — presents the White Hellebore as a movie starlet who survives the grave through her dalliances with dark occult forces, a necromantic mystic tryst that an overzealous morgue attendant encounters with terrifying results, complimenting the song’s unholy matrimony of melody and mayhem.”

Following 2021’s “Existence Is Futile”, which reached #20 on the Billboard 200 for the Hard Rock Genre, Cradle of Filth are back with a masterful new creation. “The Screaming of the Valkyries” showcases Dani Filth’s unmistakable scream, alongside incredible twin guitar attacks, symphonic elements, and dynamic rhythms performed by Martin “Marthus” Skaroupka on drums, Daniel Firth on bass, Marek “Ashok” Smerda and Donny Burbage on guitars, and Zoe Federoff on keys and vocals.
