UK-based black metal heathens CRADLE OF FILTH have checked in with the following update:
“Monday, January 5th bears irrevocable witness to CRADLE OF FILTH’s guitarist Richard Shaw entering Grindstone Studios in deepest darkest Suffolk, England, to add his carnivorous licks to the forthcoming Cradle album; code name Hammer Of The Witches.
So far Martin ‘Marthus’ Skaroupka and Marek ‘Ashok’ Smerda have delivered their all to the dark cacophonous brew, now Richard’s time has come to shine like a well-polished retaliatory nuclear strike button.
The album is sounding amazing thus far, and should sound even fuller by the end of next week, when Richard finishes his guitar parts and vacates the luxurious werewolf-assailed country barn pad to make way for bassist Daniel Firth to rally forth from bonny Scotland.
Album excretion date: June 26th via Nuclear Blast Records.”
