Фон
[ редактировать ]Hammer of the Witches — первый альбом Cradle of Filth после альбома Cruelty and the Beast 1998 года , на котором не представлены работы давнего гитариста Пола Аллендера . Работа над альбомом началась в начале 2014 года, когда фронтмен Дэни подчеркнул, что группа планирует не торопиться с этим. [ 2 ] В интервью в 2016 году Линдси Скулкрафт заявила, что она довольна реакцией фанатов и что группа фактически завершила работу над альбомом быстрее, чем они ожидали. [ 3 ]
Cover art
[edit]Vocalist Dani Filth stated: "The artwork for Hammer of the Witches was created by Latvian artist Arthur Berzinsh and is a lavish walk-through of the lyricism, drawing on rich renaissance themes and displaying them in beautiful-yet-unsettling scenarios. Half of the detailed pieces are totally original for the release, others are Berzinsh classics cunningly tailored to the themes of the album, which are themes rife with heady witchcraft, be it persecution, retribution or unfettered spiritual liberation. The female form is rampant throughout the artwork, unashamedly displayed in its classical rendition of beauty... and horror."[4]
Release
[edit]The first single and video for the track "Right Wing of the Garden Triptych" was released on 14 May 2015.[4][5][6] Hammer of the Witches was released on 10 July.

Hammer of the Witches has received a favourable response from critics, who appreciated its change in direction. It has also received a more positive fan response than previous releases in recent years such as The Manticore and Other Horrors and Darkly, Darkly, Venus Aversa, with many praising it as the band's best album since Cruelty and the Beast (1998).[15] The Guardian called it "both a joyous nod towards past glories and a significant creative rebirth" and wrote "these are the most vital and incisive songs Dani Filth has conjured from the dark ether in a long time".[10] AllMusic wrote "on their 11th studio album, this unholy horde, forever wrapped in corpse paint, leather, and spikes, look back more than they do forward. And that proves a good thing [...] Hammer of the Witches doesn't reach the heights of Dusk of Her Embrace [sic], but it does offer proof that there is plenty of fire and creativity left in Cradle of Filth."[8]
