Cradle of Filth Prepares to unleash 'Midian' on Halloween 


9-26-00 11:30 AM PST Press Release
Evil.  Terrifying.  Ghastly.  These are all words that much of humanity may use to describe Suffolk, England's Cradle Of Filth.  Peel away the Gothic Horror image and you will see that they are more than just a frightening image, that dark essence seeps through their music as well, which culminates in a vibrant yet horrifying package ushering in a new era in extreme Shock Rock.

Cradle Of Filth, a name that has become notorious in recent years, both as a harbinger of corruption and a detriment to society.  One can recall the name mentioned numerous times in the political debates in attempt to have 1999's Milwaukee Metalfest cancelled (which ultimately failed).  Who can forget the controversy spawned a couple years back when a Florida teen was arrested for merely wearing on of the band's trademark debaucherous, explicitly imaged t-shirts?  Even their video for "From The Cradle To Enslaved" was swiftly banned from daytime MTV. The massive company's decision only served to further prove the truly deserved reputation Cradle have built up over the years, of being the most controversial band in the world. 

The future is all that COF have left to conquer, for the past 10 years have spawned the new metal princes. There has been nothing but success for the new sorcerers of Suffolk, which brings us to now!

October 31st, Halloween...what more suitable a day for Cradle of Filth to make their grand return to America with the release of 'Midian', the band's most ambitious release to date.  KOCH Records, the only label daring enough to release this monster of an album to the American masses, is spearheading 
the marketing campaign that will surely solidify the band's unique imagery and sound to musical immortality.  Produced by John Fryer (renowned for his work with Nine Inch Nails), featuring an extraordinarily talented & versatile lineup and a guest narrative by Doug Bradley ('Pinhead' of the Hellraiser films), 'Midian' is guaranteed to become an appropriate soundtrack to any late-night romp through the cemetery.  Cradle Of Filth IS that "thing that goes bump in the night!"
