CRADLE OF FILTH - Malignant Perfection (Official Video) | Napalm Records

Listen to “Malignant Perfection“ now: Directed by Vicente Cordero Creative Director: MM Fabrications Dani Filth divulges about the track and video: “Our new single and video, ’Malignant Perfection’, is our horrific homage to All Hallows Eve, as embodied by the female deification of evil. It is a perfect musical accompaniment to the spirit of the witching season; invoking dark, Autumnal splendour and celebrating the time when the thin line between life and death is at its most tenuous and the denizens of the otherworld seek to break the veil into ours. The video, directed by the imitable Vicente Cordero and featuring the creative masterstrokes of one Missy Munster, is a playground of seductive darkness rife with malicious monsters and cryptid creations, all vying voraciously for the viewer’s eternal soul. This comes at a perfect juncture for the Halloween period and our ‘By Order Of The Dragon’ UK/European Autumn tour. It also arrives on the back of a sensational collaboration with massive fashion label Vetement and also Blackcraft Clothing, and in the fiery wake of a successful sold-out Australian tour.“ Malignant Perfection Lyrics Kindred may I introduce Upon the mortal fools The evil that has shaken loose From bondage to now rule She walks at dusk to tragic serenades As the river shivers at her passing darkness Tonight it ends, the sun Bleeds out across the fields The last of summer bends, undone By the seed of winter’s build She comes with malignant perfection Mass erection Temples praise the brazen goddess On All Hallows Eve Free the demons from my soul untethered Prise wide the rifts All Hallows Eve Be the conduit of dreams forever Autumn leaves lay tribute, thunder peals As her voice uncurls in the clifftop beacons _I break the gates of chaos neath my heels_ Bad shadows dance, stray daylights weaken As above and so below The haunted angels sing A love rekindled for the crows The flaunted death of everything She is a scar with a wicker tiara Inamorata, Fire-starter, hills ablaze On All Hallows Eve Free the demons from my soul, untethered Accept these gifts my pallid Queen Be the conduit of screams forever more… Embrace the uninhibited In the face of the coming storm A precipice On the abyss Lean o’er to kiss The things given to rue Danse macabre A grand bizarre Now the veil parts For fates to slither through She comes with malignant perfection Mass erection Temples praise the brazen goddess On All Hallows Eve Free the demons from my soul, untethered Prise wide the rifts on All Hallows Eve Be the conduit of dreams forever On All Hallows Eve Be the conduit of screams forever more… CRADLE OF FILTH “By Order Of The Dragon” UK tour dates: - Bristol / 02 Academy - Bournemouth / 02 Academy - Birmingham / 02 Institute - London / 02 Forum Kentish Town - Swansea / Patti Pavilion - Manchester / Damnation Festival - Nottingham / Rock City - Belfast / Limelight - Dublin / Academy - Glasgow / SWG3 - Newcastle / NX CRADLE OF FILTH “By Order Of The Dragon” EU tour dates: GER - Cologne / Kantine GER - Hamburg / 02 Markthalle DNK - Aarhus / Voxhall SWE - Stockholm / Fryshuset Klubbe SWE - Gothenburg / Brewhouse CZE - Prague / Lucerna Music Bar SVN - Ljubljana / Kino Siska ITA - Milan / Live Club ESP - Barcelona / Salamandra ESP - Madrid / BUT PRT - Lisbon / LAV Lisboa ao vivo ESP - Bilbao / Santana 27 FRA - Lyon / La Rayonne CH - Pratteln / Z7 FRA - Vaureal / Le Forum LUX - Luxembourg / Rockhal GER - Karlsruhe / Substage GER - Berlin / SO36 NLD - Amsterdam / Melkweg BEL - Leige / OM NLD - Tilburg / 013
