Buckle up, Europe! CRADLE OF FILTH, the undisputed kings of horror-infused extreme metal, are embarking on a monstrous tour this autumn, ravaging stages across the UK, Ireland, and mainland Europe
The depraved delights kick off on October 27th, with BUTCHER BABIES and HIGH PARASITE joining CRADLE OF FILTH for a UK and Ireland rampage that culminates on November 8th. Prepare for a bloodcurdling Halloween celebration, as the dark carnival descends upon London’s O2 Forum Kentish Town on October 31st.
The continental conquest begins on November 13th, with BUTCHER BABIES passing the torch of mayhem to Mental Cruelty as CRADLE OF FILTH unleashes their sonic savagery across mainland Europe. The tour wraps up on December 7th, leaving a trail of satisfied headbangers and echoes of unholy anthems in its wake.
Mark your calendars and sharpen your horns! Tickets go on sale this Thursday, May 2nd, at 10am UK time and 11am Central European Summer Time. Don’t miss your chance to witness these metal legends in action.
CRADLE OF FILTH is also fueling the fire with news of their 14th studio album, the successor to 2021’s “Existence Is Futile,” currently brewing in the studio. With a monstrous tour and new music on the horizon, prepare for an autumn of pure, unadulterated metal mayhem.
Keyboardist and co-vocalist Zoe Marie Federoff posted on social media that the forthcoming album will be quite like the band’s 1996 album “Dusk And Her Embrace” and 2000 album “Midian“.
“Tired AF, but feeling solid after day one in the studio for the new Cradle Of Filth album,” she wrote.
“I completely agree with Dani [Filth, lead singer]’s take on this being a very Dusk/Midian vibe this go around.
“These new songs are so fresh, exciting, dynamic and immersive – I can’t say any more except prepare to be blown clean away by a straight up set of bangers.
“Bloody hell, as they say on this side of the pond.”
Dani Filth has also said that CRADLE OF FILTH’s 14th album will feature the band’s collaboration with pop singer Ed Sheeran.
“One of the surprises, obviously, but it’s not so much a surprise is that we’ve got a song that we have Ed Sheeran guesting on. It’s gonna be on the album,” Filth told journalist Pełna Kulturka.
“And people have heard it and loved it. But it is what you imagine: it’s Cradle Of Filth and it’s Ed Sheeran. It sounds like Ed Sheeran, it sounds like Cradle Of Filth. There’s a blast beat in it.”
Filth added that the next CRADLE OF FILTH album won’t be out this year, but that the first single from it should be released “about September, October time”.
