Initially, unless I was sorely mistaken, didn’t Cradle of Filth say the title of their new record would be All Hallows Eve? That’s what I was told, and given the late October release date I didn’t think to question the validity of that claim. Still, regardless of whether that was ever the album’s title or merely reckless speculation the band announced today that the official working title is to be Darkly Darkly Venus Aversa. The record is described by the band in a press release as:
“a full-blown concept album, 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."
Darkly Darkly Venus Aversa is scheduled to drop on October 22 through the band's own AbraCadavar Records (a division of Peaceville).

Here's an edit for you: it would appear Nick Barker, the old drummer for CoF, has been with the band since 2009. They haven't released anything since 2004 though and I haven't seen them touring or anything. Strange.
Well, I gave them a listen and, they're not for me. I'm not into the riffs, and I'd better compare this guy to the vocalist of Ancient. Thanks for recommending them at any rate.
I know I have heard a song of their's, album artwork was stormy with a dark figure in the middle maybe? Really vaguely remember. Thanks though, I'll give them a listen.
Also I have been busting my bones trying to get down Dani's high-pitched scream, I'll manage a perfect one here and there but in most cases it's weak, I haven't got control over it quite yet.
I gotcha. I had both titles in mind as well, not knowing what to expect. But neither band has really ever disspointed me, they've left me with sort of neutral yet tepid feelings at worst.
