Suffolk extreme metal act Cradle Of Filth have announced that they will be hitting the road in Europe in early 2024. The band will be bringing along horror rocker Wednesday 13 as support who has confirmed he will be performing a Murderdolls set.
Cradle Of Filth, purveyors of gothic inspired black/symphonic metal, will be travelling through Europe beginning in February of 2024 on the Necromantic Fantasies Tour. Active for over 20 years, it may come as a surprise to many that the band have yet to grace certain stages throughout the continent, including Turkey, where the band will be performing for the first time.
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.
