Actress Who Narrated CRADLE OF FILTH's 'Cruelty' Album Dies
November 24, 2010According to Sky Movies HD, actress Ingrid Pitt — who narrated CRADLE OF FILTH's "Cruelty And The Beast" album, although her narration was done strictly in-character as the Countess she portrayed in Countess Dracula — has died. The 73-year-old Polish-born star — who survived incarceration in a Nazi concentration camp as well as an appearance as a judge on TV's "New Faces" — passed away in a south London hospital.
"Darkly, Darkly, Venus Aversa", the new album from CRADLE OF FILTH, sold 5,800 copies in its first week of release to debut at position No. 99 on The Billboard 200 chart. The band's previous CD, "Godspeed On The Devil's Thunder", opened with a little over 11,000 copies back in November 2008 to debut at position No. 48 on The Billboard 200 chart. This was slightly less than the first-week tally registered by 2006's "Thornography", which shifted nearly 13,000 copies the first week out to enter The Billboard chart at No. 66, and "Nymphetamine", which premiered with almost 14,000 copies back in October 2004.
