This enchanting duet project features Polish-born (and Berklee grad) Marek Dykta engaging in some intimate guitar dialogues with his friend and mentor John Abercrombie.

UK extreme metallers Cradle of Filth are set to release their new masterwork 'The Manticore & other Horrors' this Hallowe'en on Peaceville Records.The title of this, Cradle Of Filth's tenth studio full-length, can be likened to a bestiary, a collection of stories on Monsters; personal demons, Chimeras, literary fiends and world-enslaving entities to blame but a few, Manticore being the ravening title track.
