British black metallers CRADLE OF FILTH will be playing a warm up show for Wacken at The Junction in Cambridge, UK on August 2nd. For tickets visit

this location.

New studio footage featuring Cradle Of Filth's Martin 'Marthus' Skaroupka laying down the drum tracks to the band's forthcoming studio album can be viewed below:

According to a recent update from singer Dani Filth, "the album is fast, innovative, melodic, brutal and utterly uncompromising, very cinematic. Itself is not a concept album this time around (you think you're sighing with relief!), but a bestiary of songs all revolving around a chimerical theme. Titles thus far include the following… 'Siding With The Titans', 'The Abhorrent', 'Illicitus', 'Frost On Her Pillow', 'For Your Vulgar Delectation', 'Death, The Great Adventure', 'Manticore', 'The Unveiling Of O', 'Pallid Reflection' and 'Huge Onyx Wings Behind Despair', with a due date of All Hallow's Eve for release."

In April, Cradle Of Filth released Midnight In The Labyrinth, 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.

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.
