Cradle Of Filth Reveal Demo Re-Issue

Cradle Of Filth are re-releasing their infamous 1993 demo Total Fucking Darkness - and they’re doing it in style.

Remastered on lush vinyl with art by BBC Radio 1 presenter and Hammer contributor Daniel P Carter and released on May 5, the opus will also feature a splattering of previously unreleased tracks from as long as 20 years back.

There will, of course be a CD version for the untr00, and 666 copies in coloured vinyl for the particularly tr00.
