Cradle of Filth Announce U.S. Tour with Suffocation, Ghost Bath, and Cultus Black

Cradle of Filth, the band’s vocalist Dani Filth, and their business holdings may be involved in a massive lawsuit involving former members and collaborators, but that’s not going to stop them from going on tour. Earlier today, the embattled black/gothic metal band revealed a run of dates throughout the U.S. for next spring dubbed the ‘Majestic In Death Tour’.

Set to be joined by Suffocation, Ghost Bath, and Cultus Black on this run, Cradle of Filth will kick things off with a night in San Antonio, Texas on April 30. The show will rage on across 17 stops on the tour, including shows in Fort Worth, Texas; Daytona Beach, Florida; and Chicago, Illinois, just to name a few. Eventually, the run will come to an end on May 23 in Denver, Colorado.

This news comes roughly two weeks after six ex-members of Cradle of Filth filed a lawsuit against the band. In their complaint, the group say they were treated unfairly, not compensated for their work properly, and short changed them when it came to wages. That process will be ongoing for quite some time now, so we won’t know the outcome for a while.

In the suit, the plaintiffs want the followng: the halting and destroying of all merchandise bearing their likenesses, holding the band liable for conversion of missing or damaged equipment, awarding compensatory and punitive damages for financial losses and emotional distress, and covering all legal fees. They also request a jury trial.

Regardless, the tour will go on. Tickets for the dates listed below will go on sale this Friday, December 12 at 10 a.m. local time.
