Cradle Of Filth - Manticore & Other Horrors (Uk) [CD]

One of the most infamous and notorious names in metal, Cradle of Filth continue to shock, excite, disgust and inspire in equal measure. Recorded in eight weeks at both Springvale and Grindstone studios (where it was also mixed by Scott Atkins), Suffolk, the album is testament to the longevity of The 'Filth, as not only does it reek of Cradle's (feared or revered) brand of delicious metal vamperotica, but this thoroughly modern album places the band firmly in fresh killing fields anew. Described by Cradle's infamous singer: "This is our tenth commandment in metal. We have diversified and kept alive the spirit of this band and breathed it into something that I can proudly say, slays like an absolute motherf*ker. The Manticore is coming... Long live the filth!" 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. This mid-price CD edition of 'Darkly, Darkly, Venus Aversa' is presented in jewel case packaging complete with an 8-page booklet.
