Cradle Of Filth Recording Sidetracked By Child Ballet Dancers

(TeamRock Radio) Cradle Of Filth's Dani Filth admits the recording sessions for their 1995 album Dusk... And Her Embrace were regularly "brought to ground" because they shared the studio with child ballet dancers and Boy Scouts.

The album will be reissued next month to mark its 20th anniversary using the band's original tapes - which weren't used at the time due to a legal battle with Cradle Of Filth's label, Cacophonous Records.

Filth says of Birmingham's Zellar Studio: "It was owned by the guys in Magnum. It was actually half-studio, half-rendezvous for the Boy Scouts every Wednesday afternoon.

"There were also ballet lessons on Monday afternoons, so we had to stop making music. It was quite ironic really - the fact that this huge, epic black metal record was brought to ground by little girls in ballet shoes and their mums."

In the promo, the vocalist also recalls getting "horrendously drunk" with Venom frontman Cronos who was brought in as a guest on Haunted Shores Of Babylon. Read about the and watch the video here.
