Devilment have released a lyric video for their new track Full Dark, No Stars.

The band, fronted by Cradle Of Filth vocalist Dani Filth, have released the song from their forthcoming album II: Mephisto Waltzes, due out on November 18. The promo follows their video for Hitchcock Blonde.

Filth said of the follow-up to Devilment’s 2014 debut album The Great And Secret Show: “Everybody in Devilment is very excited about the prospect of releasing our latest album, The Mephisto Waltzes, which we have worked extremely hard on.

“The album is definitely a step-up from our debut, featuring a more mature, dissonant presence coupled with a darker edge, yet at the same time utilising our better musical assets to deliver a unique metal hybrid. I don’t even know what to classify it.”

The record was produced by Filth’s longtime collaborator, Scott Atkins at Suffolk’s Grindstone Studios in the UK.

Filth had also described the album’s sound as, “A bit like fucked-up Manson meets Rob Zombie. It’s really heavy with pop sensibilities and really strange parts. I wouldn’t go and say it’s commercial as such. It sounds a lot more muso.”

Devilment will embark on a UK tour next month to promote the record.
