Cradle Of Filth's latest opus 'GODSPEED ON THE DEVILS THUNDER' is a dark fairytale of a concept album centering on Gilles de Rais, the French nobleman who carved out his place in history as a brother-in-arms of Joan of Arc, as well as a prolific, sick and twisted serial killer who began his life as a devout, pious man before devolving into full-fledged evil. This, their 8th studio album, marks the 10th Anniversary of their first concept album ‘Cruelty and the Beast’, which was based upon the life of Elizabeth Bathory.
