Cradle Of Filth one of the greatest and most influential British metal bands of all time are pleased to announce a run of UK tour dates this October in celebration of latest endeavour and opus nocturne entitled ‘Hammer Of The Witches’ – out on 10th July.
Fiendish main man and vocalist Dani Filth had to say regarding the announcement;
“CRADLE Of FILTH are extremely pleased to be hitting the European road in support of our latest album, 'Hammer Of The Witches', even more so now that British dates have been indelibly grafted onto the beginning! The band is sounding better than ever and are exhilarated to be starting our world tour here in England, at Rottingham Knock City nonetheless, the proverbial hub of heavy metal! We have an amazing setlist prepared already and everyone, including our infamous Crewdle Of Filth, are chomping at the bit to get out there and start levelling cities with our unique brand of raucous, Hellish music and stage production. So, long live the 'Filth and see you out there on the open field of battle! Wielding the Witch hammers, Your fiend, Dani”
‘Hammer Of The Witches’ stands out as a milestone in Cradle’s lengthy history. It continues their grand tradition of infusing every album with a unique atmosphere and conceptual elements that embolden the songs' dramatic execution. It is classic Cradle from start to finish. And with typically mischievous aplomb, the album's title gleefully flips the historical script, turning the tables on the gruesome witch hunts of 16th and 17th century Europe and exacting some hard-earned vengeance on behalf of all of those who suffered persecution at the hands of religious zealots during that turbulent period in history. Having been three years since the release of their previous album, this has been the longest gap in the band's murky history. And the wait is nearing completion.
Tour Dates are as follows;
16th October – Nottingham, Rock City 17th October – Bristol, Motion 18th October – Norwich, Waterfront, UEA 20th October – Wolverhampton, Wulfrun Hall 21st October – Glasgow, Garage 22nd October – Manchester, Academy 2 23rd October – London, Koko
‘Hammer Of The Witches’ is due for global release on 10th July via Nuclear Blast.
