Cradle Of Filth have entered the studio to begin recording their next album, with an expected release in June through the band’s new label Nuclear Blast. Recording is taking place at Grindstone Studios in Suffolk with producer Scott Adkins. At this stage in the process drummer Martin ‘Marthus’ Skaroupka has completed drum tracking, guitars are next. The band offered the following statement on their progress:

The ten track new album (under the working title of ‘Hammer Of The Witches’) promises to be a real return to the classic Cradle of yore, with some surprising fists, twists and turns along the way.

Next up to the grindstone is new guitarist Ashok, who will be entering deepest, darkest Suffolk at the end of next week to lay down some of the most furious, intricate, melodic, flesh-ripping guitar riffs to ever grace a CRADLE OF FILTH album with their electric presence.

More as things develop, or take a turn for the worst!
