2 min read

Erin & Ryan Hawthorne, collectively known as Witch Of The Vale, are proud to announce a thrilling audio/video collaboration with the director of horror film Baphomet, Matthew Harris. The film, which stars iconic vocalist Dani Filth of the massively successful metal band Cradle Of Filth and is being distributed by Cleopatra Entertainment, is set to be released today on VOD as well as Blu-ray. Much of the film’s dark ambience and eerie mood comes from the film’s soundtrack, which features several gothic and darkwave pieces, including a superb track from Witch Of The Vale’s debut album Commemorate released on Cleopatra Records last year, the haunting “The Way This Will End.” To celebrate the release of the film, Cleopatra Records & Cleopatra Entertainment have produced a gorgeous music video for the track that highlights some of the film’s more sublime and heart-wrenching sequences.

Baphomet tells the tale of an American family (the Richardsons) celebrating their daughter’s pregnancy, but things begin to go awry when Satanic cult leader, Henrik Brandr unexpectedly visits their ranch. Henrik offers to pay the family a large sum for ownership of their land, claiming it is sacred to his congregation. Jacob Richardson, the father, rejects the offer due to the sentimental value of his ranch. Henrik, displeased, begins to put curses on the Richardsons, trying to force them off of their own land – even if it means murdering them. After suffering unexplainable tragedies created by the curses, the Richardsons seek help from Marybeth, a white witch high priestess. They soon discover a terrible secret about their house, revealing why their land is so sacred to the cult. They realize that they must protect their house from the cult at all costs, and a violent battle between good and evil ensues.

The film stars Colin Ward (MANK, CRIMINAL MINDS), Giovanni Lombardo Radice (THE OMEN, CITY OF THE LIVING DEAD, CANNIBAL FEROX), Nick Principe (LAID TO REST, CHROMESKULL), Harris (GERMAN ANGST, FOR WE ARE MANY) and CRADLE OF FILTH frontman Dani Filth as Lon Carlson, an occultist and expert on witchcraft.
