More details about the contents of the special fan edition of CRADLE OF FILTH's new album Darkly, Darkly, Venus Aversa have been unveiled.

Vocalist Dani Filth put the finishing touches to the LP sized 64 page hard-back book a few days ago and as he said in his blog this week, it’s ‘looking really stunning’. In addition to hi-quality artwork and photos, the book will also contain a short story based around the album written by Dani.

Here is a sneak preview of some of the pages from the book, which will also house the 2CDs and DVD included in the set.

And here’s a look at some of the photographic prints which will be 8” x 6” and will be tied together by a belly band and packed in a special, sealed envelope.

This special fans’ edition is only available via the link below and will be limited; once they sell out they will never be re-pressed. Dani has already stated, this is will be, ‘the best Cradle Of Filth release that we have ever created, the ultimate version of our ultimate album. For you, our loyal mortal appreciators.’

As this fans’ edition is strictly limited we are obliged to restrict purchases to one box per order to avoid unlucky fans being ripped off by unscrupulous traders (on eBay etc).

The fans’ edition comes packaged in a deluxe hard box containing:

· 2CDs – the album plus a disc of bonus tracks and demos (including 'Adest Rosa Secreta Eros', an exclusive track that will not be available on any other edition of the album)

· DVD – the promo video for 'Forgive Me Father (I Have Sinned)' plus a documentary on the making of the video

· A 64 page hard-back book containing band photos, musings and artwork

· An exclusive t-shirt available only in this box

· A stunning limited edition lenticular 3D image of the album cover art, ready for framing

· Five photographic prints

· An official certificate of authenticity from the band

The set costs £49.95 (+ P&P;).

The band are still putting the final touches to the designs for all of the box’s contents so these will be revealed as soon as we have them.

Darkly, Darkly, Venus Aversa will be released in The UK and Europe on November 1st via Peaceville and in North America on November 9th via Nuclear Blast.
