The clip was directed by Sam Scott-Hunter and the song is taken from the groups latest tome of horror and romance, Hammer of the Witches.
Comments the director:
"There’s dark madness in this video. 'Blackest Magick In Practice' is a deeply tragic tale of lost love. It’s the grief stricken insanity of trying to bring back that loved one from the dead; desperately trying to hold onto that person who’s gone, even if that leads down a dark and gruesome path. I don’t want to give it all away, but I will say that the hardest part of the production was getting hold of a human ear.
"I wanted to convey the power of the band too, in amongst the romance, madness and magick. Behind the imagery of the lyrics is a great and powerful metal band of amazing musicians, and I hope people can feel the intensity of the band when they watch this. It is intense viewing. There should be a bit of madness in the video, because there’s madness in this song."

[@WPM8116]

I think Dani finally has a team of musicians that work well together.

[@halfaouin6311]

+Wynand Marais And i'ts been almost 15 years, but finally. ajajaj

[@WPM8116]

Yeah i stopped listening to cof after midian came out. Nothing after that sufficed for me. This is close...

[@raaka-rane328]

Cant believe so many stopped caring about them after Midian like I did too. It just turned to shit. Something fresh after 15 years.

[@muffinflavouredcake]

+Wynand Marais I dunno guys, the first 3 albums and Nymphetamine has always done it for me, but I'll agree that this is their best work in some time!

[@familiaandradeherederodelr2320]

+Wynand Marais finally?dani is the only original member from cradle even paul the guitarist left cause they kept getting rid of all the original members they got rid of rosie and sarah too they are no longer cradle of filth they are "the dani filth project"

[@NathanHarrisStudio]

Dani's lyrics are so fucking beautiful. I feel he is so underrated with his narratives ;-;

[@guillaumepoirier5450]

Cradle would'nt exist without Dani. not many people know this.but he is holding it all together since bitter suites to sucubbi

[@omarquintanilla696]

He has such a poetic and meaningful touch to his music!!!

[@AlexFrikilandia]

Deep dark poetry style Influenced By Edgar A.Poe

[@soullessSiIence]

@@tomvandenburgh sexuality is literally the core of CoF's music. I'm assuming you're too ignorant to even understand literature in its basic form.

[@menace31285]

He’s hand down one of the best lyricist

[@ScarryChili]

Am I the only one who gets really relaxed when listening to this?

[@xxzetarasilencexx3031]

Nah

[@ShiShawPocketSand]

Depends on the song. This one's pretty relaxing but others get me hyped and I can't stop moving during them.

[@Bilkachu]

i go to sleep listening to " I Thank god for the suffering " something about it what relaxes me. tbh a lit of COF relaxes me

[@CuddleSeason]

Paysage d'Hiver is the most relaxing band you'll ever encounter :).

[@DirEnGay]

+ScarryChili Well I'll be honest, I haven't really listened to Cradle of Filth since around the Midian era. I won't get into a debate or explain my reasons why, but I know the sound of music I like and the early stuff was really good, this album is quite similar and definitely a step in the right direction for me. Anyway, this particular song seems more like poetry than just straight up heavy riffs, so I can see why it relaxes you.

[@gerardonieves9493]

I am 45 and have been a Metalhead for 39 years. Discovered CoF in the 90’s and Still am a huge fan of them. Cruelty and the Beast is still my favorite but this song is my favorite CoF song. Absolutely magnificent. This new lineup sure brings it.

[@ricardomartinez2614]

Yeah yeah! Cruelty and the Beast is a awesome album

[@AJBell-dh6ry]

That main riff gets stuck in my head for days. Love it.

[@alphawehrmacht8550]

same here man

[@GojiraMaggot666]

the riff is from another song called Death Of Love, same band

[@Herewegoagain-em2wf]

​@@GojiraMaggot666it's not the same riff.

[@GojiraMaggot666]

@@Herewegoagain-em2wf my bad, but it really sound like that one part from Death Of Love

[@Herewegoagain-em2wf]

@@GojiraMaggot666 yeah it's kinda similar. Both good though

[@ThanatosSD]

With the album "Hammer of the Witches" they started what I like to call "The Trinity Of Filth". The last three albums of COF are brutal and fucking brilliant,they still can make such beautiful ballads that goes hard like this masterpiece.

[@miguelafonso8746]

Totally agree!! ❤

[@raynel.m5457]

Cradle of filth lyrics are so wonderful. They're poetic, they're intelligent, they're a masterpiece, they're absolutely beautiful and morbid. I absolutely love COF and I'll always be a fan! Their music got me thru hard times. Thank you COF for performing beautiful metal with amazing symbolism! ❤

[@Greaves619]

After all this time, still no music is more beautiful than this. Everything about this song hits in all the right places. This song is perfection.

[@d1nonlynatmyrthong]

[@alexfray7297]

it's actually 1996 when you listening it

[@shoya_dori]

Me too 😊

[@andimfx]

Yeah they’re back

[@radhwangothic]

I've said it before and I'm saying it again: Lindsey is the best female vocal the band has ever had during the multiple lineup changes! She has an awesome vocal range with a dark vibe.

[@timositz9255]

+Radhwan Jubair sarah was better. but is still love lindsey as female vocal too

[@radhwangothic]

+Timo Petrick I like Sarah, she was amazing but keep in mind that Lindsey Schoolcraft was a solo symphonic artist and she has pretty awesome songs and album. COF wasn't her debut career. check her solo songs like "Fading Star" and "December Rain" and see how great she is.

[@VampyrTepes]

+Radhwan Jubair You guys have forgotten Caroline? She had an incredible union between power and lyricism, like no other inside Cradle according to me.

[@thamachoswedishpotat]

+Radhwan Jubair I agree. What people seem t forget is that both Sarah and Caroline had a reputation for sucking major ass live. Lindsey has actually done some very solid live performances.

[@VampyrTepes]

+Isaak Keidser Flygare That's your opinion, not mine and you can't compare Sarah and Caroline. Sarah did some awful performances live on stage, but Caroline had always been constant and professional.

[@bicapank]

That bass and drums tho. Blackest magic in practice, indeed. 🖤

[@BTOLIAM]

Hammer of the Witches the Best record of 2015. This song live is 1000% more epic thanks to lindsay... I wish they mixed her vocals here as the same way she sings live

[@Nightswipe1]

+b m I wish the way she sings on the twisted nails of faith live (check that song in 1 : 26, that part is barely noticable, live she really put that part up) was in the original version... Or hopefully in the remake of the album in 2018(?)

[@ivettesd2824]

You're right! I saw them a few days ago and Lindsay were awesome!

Ooooh this is my new jam. My god I've missed this band so much. Used to listen to them 24/7 years ago in school.

[@goodchibadchi]

An incredibly talented group of musicians playing extreme music! After all these years, this still shreds!

[@lunar_light]

And I thought I couldn't possibly be more in love with this song... O sweet naïveté!

[@enrique5977]

I will never get tired of saying how good this album really is. I hope COF gets the respect it deserves after this.

[@insioni]

even though they might not be my absolute favourite band, it pleases to see they haven't given up even after so many years

[@felworg]

This song is one of the best of the album! Worth the money i spent on it!!!

[@Ronnie11789]

This has been one of their best track for god knows how long.

[@DavidJones-he6ou]

I enjoyed the refined and tasteful artistic style. Good choice of colors, good use of fake blood. I really liked the way the guitar, bass and drums work together. Dani 's voice is like a fine red wine. Better with age. Everything's tight.

[@DavidJones-he6ou]

Even my grandma liked it.

[@DavidJones-he6ou]

good background vocals as well

[@Rilyn666]

as much as i hate to say this, i'm kinda glad Paul left the band, i noticed as time went one his riff's became more and more uninspired, i'm well aware of the great music he made while playing with the band, but that's just how i feel.

[@Blaskyrkh]

+Rilyn666 I totally agree with you. He is a great guitarist but as you said, he just burnt out.

I love all of Cradle of Filth. They never stop to amaze me.

[@AtomaJava]

Once a CoF fan always a CoF fan. Love all their music. Been listening to them since i was a kid now 25. So a good 13 years. Them and nightwish are the reasons that got me into metal. Keep jamming, hope to see you in minnesota in 2016!

[@funeralpyre616]

This has to be the best song so far! Imo. Can't wait to learn this song. Definitely reminds me of some old Cradle! Fuck yes! On repeat! Cradle of Fucking Filth!

[@diegodiniz-zw9fn]

Magnific production where each element be sonic or visual was thoroughly thought to work well together.Yet,here none is coming randomly way everything must fulfill its bloody and tragically climax.

Their best album since Midian.

[@MidianRenovatio]

+pariskotsaros So true!

[@FuneralFeastArt]

+Svarog _dbk Nymphetamine was terrible

[@raaka-rane328]

This album is closest to golden era CoF in 15 years. Thats a fact.

[@Fawnarix]

+pariskotsaros Thank you for saying this! I've been getting into COF and I've always seen Midian and Hammer of the Witches to be their superior albums.

[@Smithysmithin]

+pariskotsaros I like Nymphetamine and Godspeed.

[@MarcosGarcia-ft4ki]

Thi song is so amazing... I love the way the melodies and aggressiveness entwine, all things that this song has...

[@DominoEffect572]

I love their commitment to their art.

[@creedence111]

Dani you are a fucking genius...I don't give a fuck what anyone has to say about any album from the past or present - you continue to push the boundaries with each and every song. There is no better composer, lyricist, singer on the fucking planet. Even now I listen to classic songs from Midian, Cruelty, et al, and I marvel at how amazing the vocals were as well as the lyrics and of course, the GUITARS. Please keep writing...for the love of Satan, please keep writing.

[@sybiladdams5536]

This is probably the most wonderfully crafted songs by C.O.F! Never am I disappointed, Dani inspires all beautifully dark, and deep poets everywhere! I especially love his new sound in Devilment. Although some may think they sound the same as Cradle, its much different! Of course Dani has a lot of influence in their songs, they are definitely a different sound. Its actually really refreshing to hear a new band with a different style, I cannot wait till they come to New York!!

[@Rawnfella]

"I will never be alright, never be alright; never see the light(!), that shone in the heart of heaveeeennnn!!!" Thanks for the masterpiece, Cradle. \m/

[@rodolforsilva]

I'm absolutely in love with this music video , amazing song , everything's perfect.

[@fedelestraniere5787]

Cradle Of Filth back to origins....finally

[@familiaandradeherederodelr2320]

+fedele straniere i dont like the "dani filth project" but i will admit this song sounded a bit like their old band cradle of filth this band is not cradle of filth its just dani and a bunch of new band members... they dont even have paul as a guitarist but sure enough they will run to paul to have him paint a album cover for them... or a new shirt design ect what a way to use paul.... no wonder he made his own project like sarah and rosie smfh... Fuck dani.... its not cradle its "the dani filth project" its greed and the lyrics are nothing new under the sun...lets be honest im not a hater im just a fan who knows they can do better and have done better it offends me how he is the only original band member left and they still call the band cradle of filth even slipknot made stone sour when slipknot originally broke up now slipknot just does it for money cradle wont even admit they are still together for money reasons... pretty fucked up if u ask me it could also explain why they dont bother coming to america much anymore but i wont lie they are coming to america this up coming tour but still they dont tour in america enough. they kinda just show up in a couple big cities everyone has to travel to and then leave back to Europe so its kinda annoying how they dont even REALLY tour america and yet americans get offended by the fact im offeneded... they obviously hate touring in america they only seem to tour certain cities when they tour.... thats all im saying and even then the tickets are limited so its not cool how they just expect everyone to pack into one or two showings.... they have a big fan base in america more then they realize and its annoying how they dont acknowledge it. that is all im saying. they are offically sellouts because they dont acknowledge their fans but that happend when rosie was around during Nymphetamine. so whatever....

[@dukenukem5709]

+Omnipotent Onslaught Cradles best albums have been the ones where Paul wasn't in the band.

[@familiaandradeherederodelr2320]

Duke Nukem you obviously dont know good guitar smfh

[@dukenukem5709]

+Omnipotent Onslaught No seriously, Principle and Midian were the only two good albums that featured Paul. Part of the reason that the newest album is receiving such praise is because they returned to the "dueling guitar riffs" that was featured in their older albums. He's not a bad guitar player, just Cradle sounds better without him.

[@familiaandradeherederodelr2320]

Duke Nukem i dont agree i actually thought that was cradles golden era.... when i heard black goddess rises it made me jizz blood. i think sarah and paul did a good job for the cover from bitter suites as well... but thats just my opinion i think some of cradles darkest material was when allender was jaming with the rest of the band

[@johnscottyward4588]

FANTASTIC stuff from COF! GREAT video as well!

[@jounipeltoniemi7443]

So, my story with this song is that I build a monoblack demon deck, got it done yesterday, in MtG Commender and decided to call it: "Blackest Magick". After that I searched Google that if someone has named a deck after that and I found this song instead. Now this song is in my top 10 all-times and the deck is now called: " Blackest Magick in Practice" because the deck flows like this song. It is beautiful, almost so as this song.

[@ErikMagnusDraven]

I liked all the songs, i think it's perfect, I can never listen to one song, I have to listen the entire album every time!! 4. I love the new Cradle, I liked all the albums after Godspeed (took me 3 years to like Manticore hehe), I think the quality is very good. Congratulations COF, you are an important part in my life, I get smarter and amazed every time i listen to your perfect and intelligent lyrics. Thank you.

Twould seem that cradle hath returned to former glory. And u love the new style. The lyrics are so beautifully crafted. As in Dani's genius. "I will never be alright, I will never be alright, never see the light that shone in the heart of heaven" also the reference in an earlier stanza made to Baudelaire. Lovely. Reminds me of my lost loved one. R. I. P. My angel - Viktor de Marisco

[@dantorres653]

[@AllChemystery]

Hammer of the Witches is probably the best concept album since godspeed. i have been waiting for this for a while now. i wonder what is next for them. if they keep going on this path it is obvious that they still have plenty to offer.

[@azedk418]

Its isn't a concept album. The title just came up as a random title, but people seemed to like it. so they kept it. And though Dani felt inspireret by the malleus maleficarum (hammer of witches), it isn't really a concept record. There are different stories. But there is a medieval atmosphere for sure..
