E-TEAM 10/31

This Upcoming Weekends Featured Task is for Cradle of Filth and Killswitch Engage

CRADLE OF FILTH, HALLOWEEN TASK:

So as you all know, this past Tuesday, October 28th, Cradle of Filth's new album "Godspeed on the Devil's Thunder" started destroying shelves near you. Coincidentally (or not) the album release was just in time for All Hallow's Eve so we need you to do what you do best and promote the hell out of this, using Halloween discussions/sites as a tool!

Create a buzz/hype using lines such as: "Hosting or attending a Halloween party? Bring this CD along with you to add to the horrific adventures of the night."

Please edit the description below using your own terminology.

About this album: The album is conceptual and is based on the well-documented, true-life fall from grace of a shadowy historical figure named Gilles de Rais, a wealthy French nobleman who was one of Joan of Arc's brothers-in-arms. He was best known, however, as a prolific serial killer who mixed prayers with his nightly murders as well as an aspiring alchemist. He was accused of a panoply of crimes, among them heresy, demonology and kidnapping. There's even an extreme fringe sect of historians who question de Rais' true status, with some convinced he was framed.

Please also link to the album on Roadrunner's site here.

Dimmu Borgir*Moonspell*Satyricon*Moonspell*Therion*Chthonic*Eternal Tears of Sorrow*Immortal*Naglfar*Dark Funeral*Children of Bodom*Nightwish*Within Temptation*Epica*Carpathian Forest*Amorphis*Behemoth*Old Man's Child
