Cradle of Filth to Reissue Eight Albums in July

British extreme metal band Cradle of Filth are digging into the archives, reissuing eight previous releases in July via The End Records. Six of the reissues will hit stores on July 3, with the other two available July 31. Some of the material has not been previously available in North America.

Cradle of Filth are working on a new album, which is slated to be released later this year. The band is in the mixing stage now, with just the female vocals and choirs left to be done.

July 3 reissues:

‘From The Cradle To Enslave’ EP

The 1999 EP includes two original tracks along with covers of ‘Death Comes Ripping’ (Misfits) and ‘Sleepless’ (Anathema).

‘Cruelty And The Beast’

A concept album based on the legend of Hungarian blood countess Elizabeth Bathory. It also includes a special edition five track bonus CD.

‘LoveCraft & Witch Hearts’

This is a two disc compilation album. The first disc is a sampler of Music For Nations album tracks. The second disc includes songs from limited and imported editions, such as covers, remixes and rare b-sides.

‘PanDaemonAeon’ DVD

Originally released in 1999 on VHS, it includes live concert footage from the London Astoria in 1998, a documentary and two versions of Cradle Of Filth’s first promo video for “From the Cradle to Enslave.”

‘Midian’

Originally released in 2000, it was CoF’s fourth studio album, and marked the addition of band members Adrian Erlandsson (At The Gates, Haunted) and Martin Powell (My Dying Bride, Anathema).
