Cradle of Filth post video blog

Britain's most notorious extreme metal act, Cradle Of Filth, has posted a new video blog discussing their forthcoming album, Darkly, Darkly, Venus Aversa, on the album's mini-site at: www.peaceville.com/cradleoffilth or view below. Tune in today to see Dani and the rest of the band discuss the recording process of the upcoming release, the meaning behind the title, the album artwork, and more.

In addition to the new video blog, the mini-site features exclusive information about the album, a gallery featuring new band pics and elements from the album artwork, a link to download a MP3 of the track, "Lilith Immaculate", and more. The site is being updated on a weekly basis with new video blogs, fan competitions, promo videos, an iPhone app, new downloads and more. The band will also add a preview of a different track from the album every Wednesday starting September 22nd.
One of the most infamous names in metal, Cradle Of Filth, continue to shock, excite, disgust and inspire in equal measures. Darkly, Darkly, Venus Aversa is the band's ninth studio album, and in the words of Cradle's iconic frontman, Dani Filth, is "without doubt the fastest and most brutal album we've created to date. As an acquaintance of the band so aptly noted, this is like 'Iron Maiden on crack in a graveyard of angels!'"
"This album is Cradle at our most sinister and darkened fairytale," continues Dani. "A gothic horror themed slay-ride of fervour and perversion; yet amidst the orchestral melodrama and lush, cinematic production, there sits stalwart a ravening beast of furious riffing, flesh ripping vocals and monstrous, unstoppable percussion."
Darkly, Darkly, Venus Aversa was recorded at Monkey Puzzle Studios near Bury St. Edmunds in Suffolk, England. It is the follow-up to 2008's Godspeed On The Devil's Thunder.
