CRADLE OF FILTH record "Halloween II" for "Underworld II" soundtrack.

Before CRADLE OF FILTH started "enslaving" their days away recording their next album, Britain's # 1 horror band recorded a cover of SAMHAIN's "Halloween II." The track will not be included on their next album, but will be released on the "Underworld II" soundtrack.

CRADLE OF FILTH's 7th studio album will, however, contain two covers. Those covers are U.K. techno-pop trio HEAVEN'S 17 "Temptation" and "Stay" by SHAKESPEAR'S SISTER.

Vocalists, Dani Filth said the album will end up containing about 10 tracks, including "Libertina Grim," "Lovesick for Mina," "The Byronic Man" and "Cemetery and Sundown."

"This record heightens our rhythm, and there are lots of cool off-beats. It's just as meandering as much of our stuff, but there are also some really catchy tracks there," Filth said. "I've introduced more sing-y type parts. It's a bigger, better-sounding Cradle of Filth, and more direct and to the point," added the devil-driven band leader.
