Cradle of Filth: Official Facebook

For nearly two months, there has been speculation that British extreme metal heavyweights Cradle of Filth would be headlining a North American tour with support from The Faceless, Decapitated and The Agonist. Luckily for metal fans, the tour has been officially confirmed by Cradle of Filth, along with a full line of tour dates.
Multidimensional Cradle of Filth vocalist Dani Filth spoke of the then-unofficial tour during our most recent interview with the singer. Stating that dates were being penciled in by Cradle of Filth’s booking agent, Dani Filth was hopeful that the tour would come to fruition, calling the potential bill “a really strong lineup.”
After various news outlets leaking chunks of potential dates for the supposed tour, the dates have finally been set in stone via Cradle of Filth’s Facebook page. The band will be touring to support their 10th studio album, ‘The Manticore and Other Horrors.’
The Faceless released their third full-length effort, ‘Autotheism,’ in 2012, hitting No. 49 on the Billboard Top 200. The Agonist also unleashed new material in 2012 with their third studio album, ‘Prisoners.’ Death metal mainstays Decapitated released their most recent album, ‘Carnival is Forever,’ in 2011, which showcased the debut of vocalist Rafal ‘Rasta’ Piotrowski, bassist Filip ‘Heinrich’ Halucha and drummer Kermis ‘Krimh’ Lechner.
