}} ''Darkly, Darkly, Venus Aversa'' is the ninth studio album by English extreme metal band Cradle of Filth. It was released on 1 November 2010 by Peaceville Records and is a concept album centred on the demon Lilith. Earlier the album was erroneously referred to as ''All Hallows Eve'', probably because the announced release date was close to Hallowe'en. It is Cradle of Filth's's only album to feature keyboardist Ashley Ellyllon, and is also the band's final album with Dave Pybus as their bass player. ==Concept and musical style== ''Darkly, Darkly, Venus Aversa'' is a concept album in the same vein as its predecessor ''Godspeed on the Devil's Thunder'', this time centering on the demon Lilith, the first wife of the biblical Adam. Dani Filth revealed to ''Metal Hammer'' in September 2010 that it would be a "feminine" companion piece to ''Godspeed'', "which was a very masculine album, obviously due to its protagonist, Gilles De Rais." Unlike previous historically-based concept albums ''Godspeed on the Devil's Thunder'' and ''Cruelty and the Beast'', ''Darkly, Darkly'' tells an original story. "It's about the resurgence of Lilith into modern society as a deity," Filth said. "There's a bit of Victoriana in there. Essentially, at heart, it's a nice gothic horror story."〔 Reference to Greek mythology and the Knights Templar is also made, in what was referred to by the label as "a dark tapestry of horror, madness and twisted sex". At an early stage of the album's development in August 2009, Filth hinted that the album's sound was "creepily melodic, like Mercyful Fate or a dark Iron Maiden". The ''Metal Hammer'' interview also likened it to King Diamond.〔 The core album is the band's first to not feature any instrumental tracks. The special edition bonus track "Adest Rosa Secreta Eros" ''is'' arguably an instrumental, but features extensive narrative excerpts taken from Aleister Crowley's ''The Book of the Law''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Darkly, Darkly, Venus Aversa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
