Description

Time: 8pm

In October 2008, Cradle of Filth unleashed their 8th album, Godspeed on the Devils Thunder (through Roadrunner). The album is a dark, chilling account of the hellish life of Gilles De Rais, a 15th century French nobleman turned murderer and Satanist. It is presented with the grandiose atmospheric sound, Danis Filths unmistakably versatile vocals and passion and sharpness that defined their most classic albums.

Godspeed on the Devil Down Under

Australian Tour 2009

Awaken from thy nightmarish faerytale and prepare for the violation of thy soul as the Lords of all the metal-goth-vampire disciples, the inimitable Cradle of Filth, descend upon Australian soil in 2009. Just Say Rock Productions, in bloodied unison with Roadrunner Records Australia, proudly presents the Australian leg of Cradle of Filths, Godspeed on the Devils Thunder tour in May 2009.

Conspicuously missing from our shores since 2000s Midian tour, the highly successful extreme metal innovators from Suffolk, England will deliver their full theatrical rock show to Australian audiences who have been kept waiting in the depths of murky darkness for ages.

Formed in 1991, Cradle of Filth rose to the top and transcended beyond their genre, to a class of their own, via groundbreaking albums and promo clips, and a film, Cradle of Fear . 1996s epic Dusk and Her Embrace marked their initiation of concept albums, while 1998s Cruelty and the Beast fully realised the idea. The album bathed in a richness of sound and narratives based on the life of Elizabeth Bathory, the Blood Countess.

And of course, controversy was always trailing not too far behind their black coat-tails. The now infamous and highly sought after Jesus is a C**t t-shirt had fans worldwide (even hitting home, in Brisbane ) fined and arrested for wearing it in public, and has been banned in New Zealand . Meanwhile, the bands appearance at the Vatican, wearing I Love Satan shirts, didnt go down well with the holy citys fraternity.

In October 2008, Cradle of Filth unleashed their 8 th album, Godspeed on the Devils Thunder (through Roadrunner). The album is a dark, chilling account of the hellish life of Gilles De Rais, a 15 th century French nobleman turned murderer and Satanist. It is presented with the grandiose atmospheric sound, Danis Filths unmistakably versatile vocals and passion and sharpness that defined their most classic albums.

Cradle of Filths lavish musical arrangements and uncompromising persona are equally matched by a thrilling and dramatic live show. This is one date with the devil that you dont want to miss. Youll be damned if you do and if you dont.

Cradle Of Filth's bio and tour dates
Cradle Of Filth
Cradle of Filth are a heavy metal band formed in Suffolk, England in 1991. They have been embraced and disowned with equal fervour by various metal communities, and their particular subgenre has provoked a great deal of discussion. The band's sound evolved from black metal to a cleaner and more "produced" amalgam of gothic metal, symphonic black metal and other extreme metal styles, while their lyrical themes and imagery are heavily influenced by gothic literature, poetry, mythology and horror films. The band have successfully broken free of their original niche by courting mainstream publicity (often to the chagrin of its early ...
