Cradle Of Filth frontman Dni Filth has posted the following studio report:

"Dear unrepentant children of the night,

Greeting once again from the verdant bowers of Ambergate, Derbyshire and the recording studio we call home sweet home and Sneapy Hollow.

Dani here once again to fill you in on everything filthy from the production of our new album, which, as it stands, still remains untitled! There are obviously a huge amount of possible candidates floating about, from the mildly ridiculous to the obviously mediocre, our favourites being The Lesser Known Adventures Of Gilles De Rais And The Squid People, Go-Go Gothic Binoculars, and Finger Tits amongst others, not one fully encapsulating the brutal musical scale of this record quite yet. Still, there a couple of weeks left to go, so who knows what will befall our ever-tentacular creation?

Everything else recording-wise has been finished bar vocals for two songs that will undoubtedly see the light of day far after the album's release (possibly on film soundtracks which always seem to require non-album tracks). This also includes the addition of all-female choir sections and an additional Swedish male opera singer, as well as my daughter Luna contributing poetical lines to the song 'Darkness Incarnate'.

The mix is well on its way toward completion, we'll finish one by the end of this week and then retire our separate ways for a well-deserved week at home, the premise being to return a week later to re-evaluate and complete it fully (with the intermittent narrative being not-so-lightly sprinkled on the top - well, it is 'Candyman' voicing it after all).

Several journalists have also paid us visits, one, a good friend of ours ended up singing yokel Karaoke on a night out after drinking too much Pedigree, Gin and Guinness. Still, he had a great time and (at least before we all started singing 'Delilah' with our trousers down) said journalist loved the album, half-finished mix or not. Which is nice.

Now comes the time of video conceptualising and rehearsals, artwork assembly and heavy press schedules in Europe and America, working our arses off to bring the braying beast to life. Phew! No rest for the wicked I say.

So without further ado, I bid you farewell until the album is finished. Next time we will converse will be a week from now."

All the best, your fiend,
Dani Filth

Eh, the goofiness is one of the reasons I like CoF, most black metal bands take themselves way too seriously.

I hate what Dani did to this band. I never thought of them as black metal but I liked them up until Nymphetamine. Thornography was horrible.

I'm going to assume that you put the V in f*** so it wouldn't censor rather than trying to be kvlt because no one remotely into that special scene of metal would like Cradle.

This band used to be good, even catchy for an "extreme" metal act. But their live shows are nothing but stage antics and not even the good kind that can get a band like Gwar a full house.

Thankfuly enough that sh** head is NOT related to me Red, that boy is NOT a true Arcuhleta. We are much more musicly enclined than that. He is a disgrdce to the Archuleta name in so many ways!

I am better now that my grandfathers wake is done and was trippy and succesful. I think the nature of his death was/is hard to deal with, but now I can foucus on my own greif.

How might you be?

Well my daughter was born last week prematurely so we have to spend a good deal of time at the hospital to take care of her. She should be fine but there are some complications related to her premature birth. She should stay there for a month or a month and a half and then we will bring her home. Can't wait...

Cruor, by trippy I mean that a wake is vastly different from a memorial or funeral. Someone is dead and people should be crying and moping about, but instead people were laughing about my grandpas life and the fun/funny things he did. It was my first wake too. So it was a new experiance for me.

She was a very good 34 weeks so it's not nearly as bad as your niece. But she has a problem with her bowels (inflammation) , and sometimes a very slow heart rate (again a normal thing for preemies). So she can't eat right now, except from iv but she still feels the hunger and that pains me. And yeah I am a metal dad....rock on !!!

From what I understand those issues take care of themselfs over time. My niece had bad problems with her bowels. Just be super vigalant to her eye sight. As an aunt to a premie I can feel your pain, but know she will be o.k. It may not seem like it now, but my niece is now 4 years old and a very happy and healthy kid. Just hold those new tiny hands and be calm. It helps her out more than you know or expect it would.

Talking to her helps too. It helps distract her from the hunger pains.

yeah we do spend a lot of time doing that, and it does help. but it's funny to see the nurses referring to our daughter as a heavy weight compare to some others. she is 4 pounds and so small but some of those babies are like 2 pounds so she does seem like a sumo wrestler compare to them...I just came back from the hospital and she's got character, I mean she's got mine so when she doesn't like it, you know it...that's good because she has the fight in her.

I wonder if she will have alot to say when she gets to talking age? My niece has a ton to say! My goodness, she talks her brother into a stupior! *lol* I think the most schocking thing in the world was to see her wear her Dads wedding ring as an arm band with plenty of room to spare! Premies are soldiers most cirtanly.

That could actually be funny if she talks a lot, that means that I won't have to talk too much and i like the idea because the older I get, the less I feel the need to talk.

I think the possible album titles are brilliant and yes my favorite is Go-go gothic binoculars.
Anyone who thinks Cradle of Filth (it is a pity when people abreviate the bands name "COF" because they are too lazy to use the sacred name) is "decaying" is clearly not a true fan to the band or just never gets tired of the old "blood and guts" of black metal. It is important to evolve and a little morbid sense of humor does not hurt anyone.
CLEARLY some people did not read the please note section below (by people I mean idiots). WE DON'T GIVE A F*CK ABOUT YOUR PERSONAL LIFE. Have you heard of MSN? Use it!

Filthrose obviously got into COF late in the game, and obviously has absolutely no knowledge of what Black Metal is. Black Metal is not written and directed based on making money in an American market. Thats just one piece of evidence, there are several more. Not to mention they just plain do not play black metal anymore. Daniel Davey will be the first to tell you that.
