Vocalist SARAH JEZEBEL DEVA will release her new digital EP, entitled Malediction, on May 28th via Listenable Records. She has issued the following update with regards to the UK tour in support of the release:

"Due to 'construction' - which we think is an UTTER SHIT excuse - Andover show at The George (on April 25th) is cancelled. We looked online, gig guides, venue info and our show wasn't even advertised! However, we have all paid for hotels and van hire and lost shitloads but hey, don't matter to them does it. Sorry to anyone planning on coming to see us. We did however manage to find another show somewhere else, about 100miles away. We will announce it soon. So very sorry. Ignore all the magazine advertising of this show, too."

As previously reported, Cradle Of Filth released their latest work, Midnight In The Labyrinth, on Record Store Day - April 21st - in participating countries as a strictly limited edition two-disc set of delectable magic, with disc one containing narrated nightmares courtesy of Dani Filth, plus additional vocals from Sarah Jezebel Deva, whilst disc two contains purely orchestral and symphonic recordings. The cover art can be seen below:

Taking the most requested tracks from the first four official releases, Cradle Of Filth have fulfilled audience desire by creating an album based on their most popular older tracks, but one that is delivered orchestrally to create a rich, haunting sonic landscape in the vein of soundtrack composers such as JERRY GOLDSMITH, DANNY ELFMAN and HANS ZIMMER.

Ten songs make up this 78 minute meisterwerk (including the addition of a thirteen minute exclusive aural séance on CD1), indulging such COF classics as ‘Funeral In Carpathia’, ‘The Twisted Nails Of Faith’ and ‘Summer Dying Fast’, which has already been showcased on last year’s Evermore Darkly EP to a more than rapturous audience response.
