Cradle Of Filth have set up a huge online competition with various partners in Europe and the UK in order to find suitable support bands for their upcoming Inquisitional Tourture in October/November.

The band are searching for bands for every territory to support them in their respective country. If you feel your band has what it takes to open for Dani Filth & his crew of hellhounds, surf to this location and fill out the form to take part.

Commented Dani Filth: "This is a really cool idea that has worked for us previously touring in Australia, wherein NE OBLIVISCARIS won a slot, and now they're special guests to the entire tour and playing festivals all round the globe. It is also reminiscent of the chance we were given by others to play in our early days as a band, so it's an honour to pass the opportunity onto fresh talent. Plus we get to check out a huge bunch of up and coming music, as do the magazines sponsoring this, so all-in-all its a win/win situation. That is of course unless you lose! Still, worth the punt methinks, these shows are going to be adrenaline-fuelled rushes of pure raucous Metal insanity, for sure!"

Cradle Of Filth have announced their Inquisitional Torture tour dates for October / November 2015. Dani Filth checked in with the following update:

"Cradle Of Filth are extremely pleased to be hitting the European road in support of our latest album, Hammer Of The Witches, even more so now that British dates have been indelibly grafted onto the beginning! The band is sounding better than ever and are exhilarated to be starting our world tour here in England, at Rottingham Knock City nonetheless, the proverbial hub of heavy metal! We have an amazing setlist prepared already and everyone, including our infamous Crewdle Of Filth, are chomping at the bit to get out there and start levelling cities with our unique brand of raucous, Hellish music and stage production. So, long live the 'Filth and see you out there on the open field of battle!"
