The Statement:
It is with deep regret I share that for personal reasons I am unable to continue this tour and continue in general with Cradle of Filth. Please respect my privacy and my family’s privacy. I will answer no further questions. Be kind to my successor. I wish her and my now former bandmates well. At least, like Roy Khan said over a decade ago, God was there after all. Yours, Zoe

*** end of statement ***

PiercingMetal Thoughts: While I’m not going to dig deep into the reasons for ZMFS announcing her exit from Cradle Of Filth, I can say that I don’t think the conventional fans out there know how demanding such a life can be. Having not witnessed Cradle of Filth in concert for a few years, I never got to see Zoe on the keyboards and handling backing vocals and having seen videos in the recent months can say that I am a fan. From my side of the fence I wish her the best and am sure that I will be documenting whatever adventures in music that she finds herself up to the next time. What do you folks out there in the readership think about this? Chime in down below in the comments section. See you next time.

So you want more tour announcements do you? Well how about this recently unveiled touring run by the sinister Cradle Of Filth. Dig in to the poster, press release and locations. I’ll come back at the close.

The Press Release:
CRADLE OF FILTH announce North American tour; UK’s legendary extreme metal icons CRADLE OF FILTH will make their long-awaited triumphant return to North America with a headlining tour this March/April. Opening the tour will be Ukraine metal band JINJER.

“CRADLE OF FILTH are very much looking forward to the U.S/ Canadian leg of the Cryptoriana World Tour,” commented vocalist Dani Filth. “Even more so now that we have just finished the extremely successful UK run, and with a huge European run ahead of us the band will be totally up to speed, firing on all cylinders and playing a cool, yet eclectic set from the new album and beyond (the extensive ‘Bathory Aria’ from Cruelty And The Beast now being a firm fan favorite).

“So get ready for nights of insane gothic horror and vehement perversity come the cusp of April, when CRADLE hit the States where it hurts”.

Leave a comment

Not too long ago we helped present the upcoming tour dates for the new Cradle Of Filth tour that was bringing them to our shores once more and finding support from both Butcher Babies and Ne Obliviscaris but sadly the first few dates of the tour have been cancelled based on the always problematic Visa issues which was announced yesterday. Dani Filth’s statement is below the original tour poster that was used in my larger tour posting HERE. Check it out.

Tour - Cradle Of Filth - 2016

“With a massively heavy heart, Cradle of Filth have to announce the cancellation (for now at least) of our first four shows in the U.S, because of a visa issue with the American embassy. We are doing everything in our power to rectify this situation as fast as possible. It is an nightmarish situation for all and we can only apologize for all those fans who have bought tickets. Thank you for your understanding and please be assured we are doing everything we can to be with you as soon as is humanly possible and that should be 31st January in Charlotte, North Carolina. We look forward to seeing you then. For refunds, please contact your point of purchase. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.”

Now here is some news to start off your Metal November, it seems that Cradle Of Filth will be returning to the States in early 2016 to unleash their latest Metal opus on the masses in a take no prisoners tour that features Butcher Babies and Ne Obliviscaris. Check out the poster and the provided press release. Then I will return with some thoughts on it all.

Tour - Cradle Of Filth - 2016

The Press Release:
Barbarous hellhounds CRADLE OF FILTH, will return to North America in 2016 with the “Inquisitional Torture” tour. Joining them will be NE OBLIVISCARIS and BUTCHER BABIES as support.

“CRADLE OF FILTH’s latest album, Hammer of the Witches, was brought to fruition in Britain’s Witch County, in darkest rural Suffolk at the reputedly haunted Grindstone Studios. The album’s title is named after the ‘Malleus Maleficarum,’ a medieval document of guidelines regarding the persecution and torture of witches – but CRADLE OF FILTH’s title version is more retributory: It’s the Hammer of the Witches; the hammer is in the witches’ hands and it’s payback time.
