Goetia was planned to be the first album release by British extreme metal band Cradle of Filth on UK metal label Tombstone Records. Due to insufficient funding however, the studio tapes were wiped and the album went unreleased.
Very little is known about this recording. Dani Filth and then-band members speak very little of the tracks and concept of Goetia, though it is briefly mentioned in a retrospective of the band, written by Damien Gregori featured in the CD booklet of Lovecraft & Witch Hearts.
Cradle of Filth's previous demo releases helped them land their first contract with a low-budget record label, Tombstone Records. It is unclear just how long the recording process was, but what is known is that the tapes were completed. However by this point Tombstone's studio producers could not finance the finalized session recordings, so the tapes had to be wiped. A year later the band's following demo release, Total Fucking Darkness (which is widely speculated as a promo release of Goetia), gained the band a contract with extreme-metal label, Cacophonous Records.
A part from the Lovecraft & Witch Hearts booklet reads - "It is a little known fact that Cradle of Filth initially recorded a never-released album entitled Goetia for the orphic and terminally under-funded UK metal label Tombstone, the sessions taking place at Springvale Studios on the outskirts of Ipswich, a facility which later became a rehearsal haunt for the band over the years. Regrettably, this archive obscurity will never see the light of day. Unpaid bills resulted in the master takes being wiped to make way for the next hopeful client-cum-contender, and the band have subsequently spoken little about these early songs and concepts."
