CRADLE OF FILTH Announces 2009 Winter U.S. Tour

New York, NY: England's black metal maestros Cradle of Filth will make their much anticipated return to U.S. soil this winter for their first headline tour since the Viva La Bands tour in fall 2007. The band will be spreading their black metal seed, supporting Godspeed on the Devil's Thunder, their latest opus for Roadrunner Records. Satyricon will serve as main support, while Greek metallers Septic Flesh will open the show. The tour runs for six weeks.

Cradle of Filth are standard bearers in the black metal scene. With Godspeed on the Devil's Thunder, which hits stores on October 28, the band spins a dark and twisted fairy tale about disgraced and disturbed French nobleman Gilles de Rais. The album is the thunderously fast and brutal soundtrack set to historical events and Cradle of Filth will be sure to delight the black metallites by playing selections from the new album during the tour.
