Cradle Of Filth are currently working on a new album. They have checked in with the following update:

"Cradle Of Filth have begun recording the fruits of their labours over these last few months, entering Grindstone Studios in Suffolk at the beginning of last week to record drum tracks for a spanking new album. Drummer Martin 'Marthus' Skaroupka spent the week pummelling his kit until it was dead during the day, and at night spent his evenings at a remote luxury converted barn pad, resting and preparing for the next day's nine solid hours drumming.

Subsequently, all the drum tracks are now laid down for the album and it's bonus tracks (which are sounding amazing); next up it's the turn of guitarist Marek 'Ashok' Smerda to not only record some of the most vehement, ornate, tragic, melodic and furious songs Cradle have ever shitten, but to also spend his nights listening out for the notorious Suffolk werewolf roaming the countryside.

Marthus has also posted a five minute-long studio report for your (vulgar) delectation. This can be viewed online here..."

Cradle Of Filth latest opus nocturne has the working title of Hammer Of The Witches and is scheduled for release via Nuclear Blast Records on June 26th, 2015.

After having worked with the band for several years in the United States already, Nuclear Blast Records can officially announce the worldwide signing of Great Britain's most visionary, sickening and disturbing outfit... the legendary Cradle Of Filth.

Iconic vocalist Dani Filth had this to say on the eminent subject: "Nuclear Blast owner Markus Staiger has been trying to snare the band ever since I flew over to see him way back in 1996 as a viable label option, after we left Cacophonous records. He barely missed out due to the close proximity to the band of Music For Nations, the label that Cradle stayed with until 2001. Now, not only do Nuclear Blast have offices all over the world, but the one in London is actually dead opposite to the old MFN building! Which is weird!

For the full frontal assault we have planned for the awesome new album, Nuclear Blast are the perfect war stallion to carry us screaming into the heart of the next chapter of COF's dark, enigmatic history. Next year is going to be a massive year for the band and the black flags start flying here, with the announcement of our unholy union with Nuclear Blast who have already done great things with my Witch County band, Devilment."
