My Body Is A Temple Ancient And Crumbling Shirt
Filth also loves the oft-shared photo from England’s Bloodstock festival that surfaced a couple of years ago. “It’s got two kids sitting down on the field with a stage in the background, and one of ’em is wearing the ‘Jesus’ shirt. And there’s Jesus – somebody’s actually turned up as Jesus – standing there looking pissed off at him! It’s perfect.” He laughs.Though Cradle of Filth has been enormously successful within their extreme metal niche – Hammer of the Witches, their 11th studio album, will be released this July – one could argue that their “Jesus” shirt has made a much bigger mark on the mainstream consciousness than their music. It’s a point that Filth amiably concedes“Well, that may be true, yeah,” he laughs. “That’s something that should piss me off – but I suppose it’s like Christopher Lee, who played Dracula, and who just died. He fought quite a lot the whole ideology of Dracula. He didn’t want to be typecast; he wanted to be remembered as more than just another Dracula. But unfortunately, he was so good at it that it followed him to his deathbed. So I suppose it’s a similar scenario, really, you know what I mean?”

Not that he thinks his band’s legacy and staying power has been entirely based upon being pushing people’s buttons. “Don’t get me wrong,” he says, “We’re not a ‘shock rock’ band that does that sort of thing all the time; if anything, we’ve had as much hardship from people for being too Goth-ily poetic. There are some times where we get out of bed on the wrong side of the proverbial grave and piss people off – but that’s just the way it goes, isn’t it, when you’re a bit of an extreme character, or a bit of an extreme band? I think if we kept doing that sort of thing, it would become very contrived.”Other Cradle of Filth T-shirts have skirted the bounds of taste, however. So why does Filth think the “Jesus” shirt has been so controversial (and so successful), as opposed to other Cradle T-shirt slogans like, say, “Fuck Your God”?“Well, [cunt] is still the granddaddy of swear words, isn’t it?” he muses. “It’s like one further than throwing out a ‘fuck’. But mostly, I think it’s the subject matter. It’s a very anarchic statement – not Satanic, anarchic. It wasn’t really aimed at Jesus in particular; it was more the fact that it was rebellious and going against something. It could have been anyone, really: Elvis, or Hitler. .
