Cradle Of Filth Guitarist Quits

Gian Pyres, guitarist for Cradle Of Filth has announced his departure from the band. He is still continuing a musical career with something in a slightly different vein than Cradle Of Filth and one that will allow him more time for his personal life. The split was amicable and the band has wished him luck. They are currently in the studio recording a new album tentatively titled "Damnation And A Day" which is due for a February 2003 release.
