Limited edition of 700 copies on glow-in-the-dark double vinyl.

Background information about 'Existence Is Futile'

Cradle of Filth returns with their thirteenth studio offering, delivering another masterclass in symphonic extreme metal that showcases why they remain one of Britain's most enduring and theatrical metal exports. "Existence Is Futile" finds Dani Filth and company crafting their most cohesive statement in years, blending their signature orchestral bombast with razor-sharp songwriting that cuts through the gothic theatrics. The album explores themes of human futility and existential dread with the band's characteristic literary flair, while the production allows every orchestral flourish and blast beat to breathe in perfect harmony.

What sets this release apart is how effortlessly the band balances their more accessible tendencies with their extreme metal roots. The orchestrations feel more integrated than ever, serving the songs rather than overwhelming them, while Dani's vocal performance ranges from his trademark shrieks to surprisingly melodic passages that add new dimensions to their sound. The rhythm section provides a rock-solid foundation that allows the more experimental elements to soar, creating an album that feels both familiar and refreshingly evolved.

For fans of: Dimmu Borgir, Emperor, Behemoth and Carach Angren
