Dani Filth says about the tour:
“CRADLE OF FILTH is very excited to be co-headlining the Chaos & Carnage tour in North American, starting April 17, 2025 with the mighty Dying Fetus, Fleshgod Apocalypse, Ne Obliviscaris, Undeath, Vomit Forth and Corpse Pile! See all you Filthings at the shows!”
Positioned firmly at the top of the extreme metal genre, CRADLE OF FILTH reign supreme as one of the most revered, formative and notorious names in the scene, and are responsible for breaking ground for many of today’s top metal artists with their trademark mixture of grim blackened heaviness, macabre theatricality and scintillating gothic style.
The rule of Filth began in 1991, followed by the unleashing of 1994’s The Principle Of Evil Made Flesh – humble beginnings that expanded into cinematic classics like Cruelty And The Beast and Midian.
The band’s unyielding international touring schedule has garnered them a massive following both in the cult underground and at the top of the mainstream, defying trends while staying true to their roots. More recent offerings such as 2015’s Hammer Of The Witches and 2017’s Cryptoriana – The Seductiveness Of Decay continued to bolster the unremitting legacy of Filth, until the band, along with the rest of the universe, was abruptly halted by the global pandemic in 2020.
But, as is evident by the staggering response from their devoted legion of followers, that time was put to good use, spurring the emergence of the band’s latest, breathtakingly heavy studio offering, 2021’s Existence Is Futile. The album debuted at #20 on the Billboard 200 with Hard Rock Genre, on the Hard Music Albums charts at #4 in the US and #5 in Canada, #9 on the German Album charts, #3 and #5 on the UK Rock & Metal Albums chart and UK Independent Albums chart respectively, #4 on the Finnish Albums chart and many more.
More recently, the band released their first live album in 20 years, Trouble And Their Double Lives, via new label home Napalm Records. Recorded between 2014 and 2019 at different performances in the USA, Europe, Australia and beyond during their “Cryptoriana World Tour” and dates following, the album serves as a time-capsule of blisteringly intense live energy, and an astounding testament to CRADLE OF FILTH‘s renowned latest era. The album also included two bonus tracks and two entirely brand new studio tracks, “She is a Fire” and “Demon Prince Regent”.
As they prepare for their next full-length release coming soon, CRADLE OF FILTH continually proves that they unequivocally own the dark.
