Cradle Of Filth will make their long-awaited return to North America with a headlining tour this March/April. Opening the tour will be Ukraine metal band, Jinjer.

"Cradle Of Filth are very much looking forward to the US/Canadian leg of the Cryptoriana World Tour," commented vocalist Dani Filth. "Even more so now that we have just finished the extremely successful UK run, and with a huge European run ahead of us the band will be totally up to speed, firing on all cylinders and playing a cool, yet eclectic set from the new album and beyond (the extensive 'Bathory Aria' from Cruelty And The Beast now being a firm fan favorite).

"So get ready for nights of insane gothic horror and vehement perversity come the cusp of April, when Cradle hit the States where it hurts.”

Cradle Of Filth's new record, Cryptoriana - The Seductiveness Of Decay, was recorded at Grindstone Studios, Suffolk, UK by the very honourable Scott Atkins, esq. who has been the resident go-to producer for Cradle Of Filth for several albums. Dani sat in during the mix, serving up flaming mugs of teas, making the studio couch his own and lending his ears when necessary.

Artūrs Bērziņš is the mastermind behind the new record’s artwork, photography and videography - best known for his defiant neo-symbolism raster graphics and oil paintings; postmodern interpretations of classic myths. He has been proclaimed as a “sacred monster of Latvian postmodernism”.
