Ed Sheeran and Cradle of Filth have completed a collaborative track that combines both artists' distinctive styles, though its release date remains uncertain. The song was recorded approximately two years ago but has been held back due to various scheduling conflicts.

Dani Filth, Cradle of Filth's frontman, describes the track as "a bit about self-affirmation" and confirms it won't appear on their upcoming album, "The Screaming of the Valkyries," to avoid overshadowing the record. The song has been fully mixed and completed but remains unreleased due to coordination challenges with Ed Sheeran's management team.

The collaboration uniquely blends both artists' signature sounds, featuring Sheeran's acoustic guitar work alongside Cradle of Filth's characteristic heavy metal elements, including blast beats and Dani's screaming vocals. Filth describes it as "fucking fantastic" and maintains that it strikes a perfect balance between both artists' styles without compromising either's musical identity.

While the track is fully produced and ready for release, both parties are still determining the optimal timing and method for its debut. The song has been heard by only a select few individuals, with even Dani's mother yet to listen to it.

The band's new album, "The Screaming of the Valkyries," is scheduled for release in April, but fans will need to wait longer for this unique cross-genre collaboration to surface.
