January 10, 2012, 12 years ago
Vocalist SARAH JEZEBEL DEVA recently announced her one-off return to CRADLE OF FILTH for the band's new orchestral album, Midnight In The Labyrinth. She has checked in with the following update:
"I have to admit, I have learnt a lot from doing this new COF album. I have learnt not everything is as simple as I think it is, that I should forgive/forget more often, that I should never use the word "never" again when it comes to music and regading visiting the past.I am happy I was asked to take part in this project and maybe your heart ruling your head really isn't so bad after all. I have no idea how this album will be mixed but I hope some of you pick up a copy because Midnight In The Labyrinth is extremely well executed, by all involved. The whole experience was a little emotional for me actually but I have walked away a happy old lady."
About Midnight In The Labyrinth, Cradle Of Filth frontman Dani Filth recently explained: "This exciting COF project which features nine classic Cradle tunes reinvented as orchestral compositions. This is no elevator music (or indeed the theme music to Schindler's Lift!), this is a full-on horror film soundtrack in the vein of Danny Elfman, Christopher Young or Jerry Goldsmith. Musical scores to whittle away the evil winter months to… this should see the poisonous light of day in April 2012-ish."
The full running order for this opus nocturne is as follows, though possibly not in this precise order…
'The Forest Whispers My Name'
'The Twisted Nails Of Faith'
'Summer Dying Fast' -a preview of this appearing on the EP
