Following its latest opus, The Screaming Of The Valkyries (Napalm Records) and an extended summer festival run, Cradle Of Filth has announced another European headline tour.
Starting on 17 November in Switzerland and concluding on 7 December in Belgium, the British extreme metal pioneers are out to present their sinister blend of dark beauty, blast beats and Dani Filth's unmistakable screams to fans once again.
"Further to our successful Summoned In Summer tour run, Cradle Of Filth are heading back out to Europe with Suffocation as special guests this November, with two more bands to be announced shortly. We are very excited to be playing these shows, especially with the American death metal legends onboard our Winter slayride! I have been a fan of Suffocation ever since I bought their debut Effigy Of The Forgotten in a small CD store in Ipswich all the way back in 1991, so I'm very pleased with this musical coupling. It's an eclectic hellish mix - soon joined by a further two supports - that we're here slathering at the bit for... So come and suffocate in Filth this November and revel in a proper European nightmare before Christmas! Bestial wishes, Dani" Link
