"Heavy metal is about escapism. Cradle Of Filth is about escapism. I think sometimes people read too much into what we want to do and what we are as a band. When you go to watch a movie, you go there to disappear from life a little while. Hopefully that's what our records are doing as well."

Video interviews with guitar player Paul Allender and vocalist Dani Filth of the British heavy metal group Cradle Of Filth. FaceCulture spoke to Allender about martial arts, discipline, artwork, struggling with songs, collective writing, playing other styles, the song Forgive Me Father (I Have Sinned), Dani's vocals, stage show plans, and more, and to Filth about Slayer, shock impact, the demon Lilith, concept records, research, different eras, fairy tales, feminism, the new album Darkly, Darkly, Venus Aversa, escapism, guilt, and more.
