Having just released their second album on Roadrunner and their seventh in their career. Cradle Of Filth are still receiving rave reviews: í¢ä‰åñWhilst being highly technical and polished Thornography is evil in its rawest form. Without doubt one of the strongest metal releases of the year.í¢ä‰åŒ RoomThirteen Click Here for the full review í¢ä‰åñí¢ä‰åŒ_ ‘Thornography’ continues the band’s dark mission into rhythmic territory, it’s also true that this remains one of their heaviest albums thus far and to ignore it based on the fact that CoF are no longer the sort of band that only attract stalwart black metal fans would be to deny yourself of a very good record.í¢ä‰åŒ RockSomething Click Here for the full review í¢ä‰åñí¢ä‰åŒ_Another step towards becoming one of Britain’s true great metal bandsí¢ä‰åŒ_.

With the release of the new Slipknot DVD just weeks away, Shawn ‘Clown’ Crahan has a message for fans. Shawn Crahan told Gary Graff of Billboard.com that he put a lot of work into the band’s upcoming video release, ” Voliminal: Inside the Nine “. But, he says, please don’t call it a DVD. “I don’t really like that term I’m calling it more of a movie than I am a DVD,” explains Crahan, who conceived and directed the two-disc set. “You’re talking three-and-a-half years in the making. There were over 300 videotapes at 60 minutes apiece to analyze, and I watched every single one of them. There’s, like, 325 edits in the thing, and each one of them are precisely put in for an exact reason. “So at the end of that, I didn’t turn in a DVD, y’know? I turned in a movie, period. A film.” ” Voliminal ” includes one disc of live footage, music videos and interviews with each of SLIPKNOT ‘s nine members. But the centerpiece is the 90-minute film on the first disc, a stream-of-consciousness style presentation that takes viewers on stage, backstage, in the dressing room, on the tour bus and anywhere else that was part of SLIPKNOT ‘s experience while making and touring in support of 2004’s platinum ” Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses) “. “My band tours for months and months and months on end,” Crahan says, “and you’d think we’re crazy to put up with the sh*t we have to put up with to get on stage for an hour-and-a-half. So that’s what the movie had to feel like it had to be one conscious thought … to just grab reality, grab the truth of it. Read more at Billboard
