Cradle Of Filth frontman Dani Filth said of the tour, “we are so looking forward to performing at all these extraordinary places on this tour – it will be our first time playing in Turkey, can you believe it?” In the company of two great bands – Wednesday 13 and Sick N’ Beautiful – the anticipation for some riotous performances is running very high across the Baltics, the Balkans and Eastern Europe. So prepare yourselves for a night never to be forgotten, one of maleficent spectacle and debauch! You have been warned! See you early next year fellow Filthlings.”

Notable for their shock rock stage presence, Cradle Of Filth have broken into more mainstream avenues in recent years, receiving attention from some of the scene’s most high profile outlets. With the release of 2021’s Existence Is Futile, the band have even begun to garner success-the likes of which was perhaps unreachable for an extreme metal act in years gone by. The album was also a critical and popular success for the band.

Cradle Of Filth’s inclusion of popular horror themed musician Wednesday 13 is sure to delight long time fans of both Cradle Of Filth and Wednesday 13’s former group Murderdolls which featured ex-Slipknot drummer Joey Jordison. Wednesday 13 has stated he will be playing a selection of hits from the band’s debut album, Beyond The Valley Of The Murderdolls as well as a few selections off of the band’s final album Women And Children Last.

Speaking on the tour, Wednesday 13 said, “We are extremely excited to be hitting the road with our friends in Cradle Of Filth. We will be performing in places in Europe that we’ve never been or haven’t been to in quite some time. We can’t wait to see you all on this tour!”

Wednesday 13 released his album, Horrifier last October-his ninth studio effort since the disbandment of Murderdolls in 2004. Tickets for the tour can be found here. Existence Is Futile by Cradle Of Filth can be purchased here. Horrifier by Wednesday 13 can be purchased here.

Since 1994’s The Principle Of Evil Made Flesh, the gothic group Cradle Of Filth has been remodelling what it means to be an extreme metal band. Their “Crawling King Choas” and “Necromantic Fantasies” stand out in the 14 track setlist, as some of Cradle Of Filth’s most powerful pieces of writing to date. With hints of havoc like that of Godspeed On The Devils Thunder (2008) and Nymphetamine (2004). It would be interesting to think what the cast of BBC’s 1998 documentary about Cradle Of Filth’s “Devilish” influence, Living With The Enemy, would say about this album.

To celebrate the release of this Existence Is Futile, Cradle Of Filth will be playing their new album on a special Halloween show. This All Hallows Eve, the 31st of October, will be dedicated to spanning mayhem across Camden’s Roundhouse. On the day that monsters come out of the shadows, alongside them will this British six-piece.

Dani described the event as: “an iconic venue, an iconic setlist, All Hallow’s Eve in London… six highly-strung extreme metal musicians. What could possibly go wrong?!“. This comes along after a line of shows across America that Cradle Of Filth has been playing on the build-up to their new album cycle, which has been a struggle with COVID- which you can read about here. This show has all the makings of an unforgettable night and is not one to be missed. Be sure to get your ticket here, before the evilest night year sells out.

You can get your bundle of Existence Is Futile on a beautiful picture disc or glow in the dark here, or you can listen to below:

Performing across the states with 3Teeth and Once Human, Lustmord and Tourgasm- which has seen Cradle Of Filth play their 1998 classic Cruelty and the Beast in its entirety, plus a lengthy encore of hits. We wish both bands a speedy recovery. The tour is following through Dallas on the 1st of October to Monterey on the 29th. They were scheduled to play New York City on the 11th alongside their supports, but due to unforeseen circumstances, both bands tested positivity for COVID-19.

The tour is to continue as normal, with no reference to either band dropping out or whether or not replacements will be brought in. After a quiet 2020, Cradle Of Filth must be desperate to hit the stage.

Cradle Of Filth’s new album Existence Is Futile is due to release on the 22nd of October. The Singles “Crawling King Choas” and “Necromantic Fantasies” have shown the world that their 13th studio album is going to be an incredible feat for the band.

Cradle Of Filth will be playing the album for the first time on their special Halloween show, All Hallows Eve. It is set for Sunday the 31st of October in Camden’s Roundhouse. Dani described the event as: “an iconic venue, an iconic setlist, All Hallow’s Eve in London… six highly-strung extreme metal musicians. What could possibly go wrong?!“.

This is set after they come off of their leg of American shows, and we hope that given the news of COVID-19 affecting their supporting acts, the show goes ahead as scheduled. Be sure to get your tickets soon before it sells out. You can get them here.
