The new batch will be marked with a white sticker to show that they are the finished product.

To get the full unexpurgated version you will need to buy the DVD. STOP PRESS: New DVD Details Due to a fault in the manufacturing process of both the DVD and the VHS, all copies of 'Heavy, Left-Handed and Candid' are to be recalled, as there is a problem with the Audio and the sound is sub-standard. (However if a few copies should slip through the net, we would suggest that you do not buy these, but wait for the revised version instead, where the sound will be correct and there is also an extra 9 minutes of documentary footage of the band!) The DVD and VHS are being re-manufactured now and will be in the shops very shortly. To enable you to identify the correct version it will have a sticker on the cover (which will be shown here in the next couple of days).

We will post the dates for the auditions in the next couple of weeks. And no CoF will not be on the Black X-Mas Tour with Ozzy because CoF will be in the studio busy on the new album for next year. It was great to be asked though and shows how people in America are now taking the band seriously. July 29, Twisted Forever Release The Tribute album for Twisted Sister is ready for release August 14th.If some of you still remember we told you about Cradle of Filth in the studio recording a cover of "The Fire Still Burns" for this upcoming tribute album last year.Now the date is ready and if you want to pre-order your copy now then you can do so by clicking here. The 16 tracks for this multi-faceted mammoth of a tribute (featuring songs spanning Twisted Sister’s entire career) consist of (in no particular order) : Cradle Of Filth - “The Fire Still Burns” Lit - “I Wanna Rock” Joan Jett - “We’re Not Gonna Take It” Motörhead - “Shoot ‘Em Down” Nashville Pussy - “The Kids Are Back” Nine Days - “The Price” Chuck D - “Wake Up The Sleeping Giant” Anthrax - “Destroyer” Overkill - “Under The Blade” Vision Of Disorder - “Don’t Let Me Down” The Step Kings - “Burn In Hell” Fu Manchu - “Ride To Live (Live To Ride)” Sebastian Bach - “You Can’t Stop Rock ‘N Roll” Hammerfall - “We’re Gonna Make It” Sevendust - “I Am (I’m Me)” Twisted Sister - “Sin City” Twisted Links: www.twistedsister.com www.kochentertainment.com www.shootinggallery.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- July 19, Robin Leaves Cradle of Filth It is announced that Robin has left Cradle of Filth for personal reasons.He feels that he has other things in his life that he wants to pursue and he cannot commit enough time to the band as needed. There are no hard feelings between the band or Robin, as stated he left the band for his reasons.It is very amicable and he will help out if we should need him to. We will be actively looking for a new bass player once the U.S. tour is over. The bassist you have witnessed on the U.S. tour is a session bassist, Dave an ex-Anathema member. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- July 18, New York CoF Signing Cradle of Filth will be at the Sam Goody's located at 6th and 8th,NY. This will be before the performance at the Hammerstine Ballroom on the 19th The band will be signing autographs at the Sam Goody's store from 6pm All fans attending you must ONLY bring ONE item per person to be signed. The band can only sign one item per fan due to having perform in the same day. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- July 6 , BSTS USA Release(Reason it is not enhanced) The USA version of the BSTS CD should also have been enhanced like the Europe version.The Manager and the band were under the impression that it was and in fact it only came to light that it was not, with emails from yourself and a few others!Spitfire knew that it was not going to be enhanced weeks ago so we have no idea why they have not changed their website accordingly. They have now been asked to do so now. Apparently the reason for the non-inclusion by Spitfire is down to a production problem. The band's manager has been now told it would have been impossible to keep the release date(July 3)if they had included the Enhanced material. However, no one from the record companies has come to their manager or the band at any point in time to volunteer this information. Regarding magazine advertising, the Ads would have been placed before the hold up, so unfortunately it would not have been possible to change these. Both the manager and the band are very angry that fans have been misled in any way. All we can do is apologise for other people at this point. The band's manager is speaking to Spitfire to see whether it is possible to have the enhanced section added to a later run of CDs. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- July 2 , Quart Festival in Norway Cancelled! Gian has strained a muscle in his shoulder at the Video shoot the other day. He managed to do the Athens gig, after seeing an Osteopath, he told him that he must now rest it, or otherwise it will not heal. Paul was hit by someone throwing a bottle, full on the back of his hand, at the festival in Athens over the weekend. His hand is swollen and bruised, must again be rested. Everything should be fine by the time the American tour starts, so do not worry. June 21 , Bogus French Festival! A so called festival has been said to take place this Summer in France on the 20,21, & 22 of July.The festival claims to have Cradle of Filth and Anathema doing the festival.The band are definitely not doing this festival and nor are Anathema. We know nothing about it. Do not under any circumstances buy tickets for this, as it is not happening. And in fact the police will be contacting the guy behind this as he is attempting to gain money under false pretences. Of course Cradle of Filth cannot be doing it as they are on North American tour at that point. Click Below to see the Flyer they have put out for the false festival: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- June 16 , Release Parties, MP3 Sample, & BSTS with 10 tracks There is a launch party at a rockclub in Ludwigsburg, Germany on Sunday, 17th of June.

November 18,updated Nov. 27 Notice For Distressed Israel Fans We have discovered that the 800 Israeli fans who bought tickets for the Tel Aviv show have not been refunded their money! The promoter,an employee of the Israeli record company which invested some of his own money in the gig,failed to insure the show.This meant that when the show was cancelled due to ill health, he was unable to claim the money back from his Insurance company, which would be the normal situation with a promoter.So he has so far not refunded the ticket prices to the people who had bought tickets.The manager and the band are very distressed by this and were unaware until today of this.They are looking at the possibility of re-scheduling the show for some time next year, but have no definite confirmed plans so far.We are looking into trying to get the fans who have so far lost their money,something as a token of our apologies. Update: All Israeli fans should have been refunded their money by now.Word is from the promoter that all ticket holders were givin their money back accordingly from the cancelled show. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- November 7, Questions And Answers...Plus ScreenSaver!

Dani had flu and then he got Laryngitis and the doctor said he was unable to sing for a week or it could do permanent damage. So very unfortunately we had to cancel the show in Israel. We hope to be able to re-schedule it for Spring next year, as we cannot fit it in this year, before the European tour, as the band are playing Greece and doing European press trips. We hate to disappoint the fans and hope that you understand and will stand by us. October 31, Midian Is Released And Video In Production!
