Cradle Of Filth To Release Album �Darkly, Darkly, Venus Aversa� 1st November

Rock3 — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 21:44:15 GMT

Cradle of Filth giving away FREE NEW TRACK DOWNLOAD from Peaceville presents Cradle of Filth..
One of the most infamous and notorious names in metal, Cradle Of Filth continue to shock, excite, disgust and inspire in equal measures.

�Darkly, Darkly, Venus Aversa� the latest chapter of the band�s dark history is to be released through Peaceville Records on the band�s own AbraCadaver imprint on November 1st 2010 but fans can get a preview of the album at the new �Darkly, Darkly, Venus Aversa� mini-site which has just been launched at Peaceville presents Cradle of Filth .

The site will feature info 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�, downloads and more. The site will be updated on a weekly basis with video blogs, fan competitions, promo videos, an Iphone app, new downloads and more. From September 22nd we shall also be adding previews of a different track from the album every Wednesday.

�Darkly, Darkly, Venus Aversa� is the band�s ninth studio album and in the word�s of Cradle�s infamous 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.�

Grammy nominated Cradle Of Filth have been pioneers of extreme music since their debut in 1994 and have continued to evolve with each of their subsequent releases. Unafraid of ruffling a few feathers, the band have continually refused to bow to convention or to conform to prevalent trends and fads. Yet despite this uncompromising stance the band are still the most successful British heavy metal band since Iron Maiden, with legions of fans around the globe.

Never shy of embracing the epic, Cradle have constantly sought to push the boundaries of their art. Whether through elaborately theatrical stage shows (incorporating giant lumbering puppets, fire-breathing dancers, freaks and stilt-walkers from the notorious Circus Of Horrors), provocative merchandise (including the now legendary �Jesus Is A C***� t-shirt), breathtaking artwork or the weighty subject matter of their albums (their previous one was a concept album telling the story of a French Lord who fought alongside Joan Of Arc, before embarking on a horrific killing spree), this is a band who have refused to be confined by the labels that have been placed on them.

The band (comprising of Dani Filth-vocals, Paul Allender and James McIlroy-guitars, David Pybus-bass, Martin Skaroupka-drums and Ashley Ellyllon-Keys) recorded �Darkly, Darkly, Venus Aversa�, the follow up to 2008�s �Godspeed on the Devil's Thunder�, at Monkey Puzzle studios near Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk.

Cradle Of Filth remain stalwarts to the satanic horror ethos by again composing a fully blown concept album, this time based on Adam's first wife, the lascivious Demoness Lilith; throwing Medieval nuns, Knights Templars, Greek mythology and lashings of sex, occult lore and violent bloodshed into the smelting pot, to create a darkly erotic nightmare set to their unique scope of supreme vampyric metal.

And with an as-near-as-dammit release date of All Hallow�s Eve 2010, Cradle Of Filth are snarling at the leash to get out to all of their fans across the world. �We can�t wait to play this **** live,� admits Dani. �Long live the �Filth!�

Less then jake & zebrahead to tour uk november

Rock3 — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 21:23:03 GMT

You'd think that almost two full years of near-nonstop touring they would deserve a long break,

but that is not the case for our favourite ska/punk/pop pioneers LESS THAN JAKE who are continuing their trek across the Atlantic and into the UK with punk-rap legends Zebrahead. �We were used to being in the UK and Europe three times a year like clockwork but we took some time away for some new projects,� says LTJ drummer Vinnie Fiorello. �Now we are coming back and can't wait to be back doing a full tour.�

This tour with Zebrahead is special as the bands have been friends for over a decade. �We've known the Zebrahead guys since 1997� says Vinnie �and being able to share a tour with them again makes the journey full circle�.

The affinity between bands is reciprocal, as Zebrahead�s bassist Ben Osmundson adds, �Zebrahead is beyond stoked to be bringing the Peace, Love and Beer back to the UK with our favorite band the almighty Less Than Jake!�.

We Are the Union will also be joining the trek along with some new UK talent who have been hand picked by the band themselves to support. Vinnie says � Some of my favourite young UK bands are joining us on the tour � we are really excited to have them on board�

Tickets for the UK dates are available at ArtistTicket.com. Fans who choose to purchase their tickets in this manner will receive a special bonus: six live tracks from Less Than Jake�s upcoming new DVD anthology release, including �A Still Life Franchise� (from In with the Out Crowd), �All My Best Friends Are Metal Heads� (Hello, Rockview), �Dopeman� (Losing Streak), �Liquor Store� (Pezcore), �Look What Happened� (Borders and Bounderies) and �Plastic Cup Politics� (Anthem).

Hotly celebrated as a return to form, Less Than Jake's seventh album GNV FLA has received plaudits from the media and fans alike, generating praise from newspapers such as Buffalo News who remarked,

"Less Than Jake have only gotten better and better at creating a sound all their own"

and Denver Post who gushed,

"Less Than Jake are just, well, awesome."

AMP Magazine said, "[GNV FLA] is damn sure a great album," while AbsolutePunk proclaims, "Less Than Jake aren't going anywhere except in steady rotation in your iPod, and GNV FLA proves that unequivocally."

Rock AND Broadway ?!?

rockitmarty — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 19:01:51 GMT

Came across Carney whilst doing some clicking around on last.fm and I'm really digging their new single Love Me Chase Me (Free Download!). It's got some nice Beatles/Hendrix/Zeppelin influences mixed in there and it's definitely worth a listen. If I'm awake early enough, I'll probably catch them being featured on Good Morning America this Friday (9/10).

By the way, here's a little fun fact for the day - Reeve Carney (the lead singer) is the dude that plays Peter Parker on Broadway's take on Spiderman!! Amazing!
