CRADLE OF FILTH Frontman Answers More Fan-Submitted Questions (Video)

December 16, 2010

Following the release of the band's new album "Darkly, Darkly, Venus Aversa", CRADLE OF FILTH is currently on tour in South America playing dates in Colombia, Venezuela, Chile, Argentina and Brazil. Before they set off, vocalist Dani "Filth" Davey was filmed answering some of the questions that were sent in by fans to Peaceville. The answers were split into two parts and can be viewed below.

In other news, CRADLE OF FILTH guitarist Paul Allender will take part in another live web chat at 8 p.m. (U.K. time) on December 23 after the band returns from the tour. The chat will stream on the Peaceville Records' Livestream channel and fans will be able to submit questions using their Facebook and Twitter accounts.

This is the second in a series of chats that Paul will be participating in. The first, which took place last month, lasted for almost two hours and topics of conversation included everything from the band's plans, the album's recording process and the guitar he uses to his favourite movies, other bands he admires and his tattoos.

CRADLE OF FILTH was scheduled to return to the studio earlier this month to resume work on its next project, an orchestral album titled "Midnight In The Labyrinth", which, according to Davey, will "reinvent" tracks from the band's first four albums and include "full soundtrack-quality stuff... with choirs, strings and some narration." Filth wrote in his online update, "All songs will be fully orchestrated akin to a horror movie soundtrack (think Danny Elfman, John Williams, Christopher Young, etc.) and are comprised solely of tracks from our first four releases" — 1996 EP "Vempire Or Dark Faerytales In Phallustein", 1994's "The Principle Of Evil Made Flesh", 1996's "Dusk... And Her Embrace" and 1998's "Cruelty And The Beast" — "'Funeral In Carpathia' being my favorite conversion thus far."

CRADLE OF FILTH will embark on its first North American tour since 2009, a headlining run dubbed "FEARnet and Decibel Presents: Creatures From The Black Abyss Tour", in February 2011. Support on the trek will come from NACHTMYSTIUM, TURISAS and DANIEL LIONEYE.

"Darkly, Darkly, Venus Aversa" sold 5,800 copies in its first week of release to debut at position No. 99 on The Billboard 200 chart. The band's previous CD, "Godspeed On The Devil's Thunder", opened with a little over 11,000 copies back in November 2008 to debut at position No. 48 on The Billboard 200 chart. This was slightly less than the first-week tally registered by 2006's "Thornography", which shifted nearly 13,000 copies the first week out to enter The Billboard chart at No. 66, and "Nymphetamine", which premiered with almost 14,000 copies back in October 2004.
