Metal Kaoz recently conducted an interview with Cradle Of Filth mastermind Dani Filth, who revealed that the band will visit North America during the second week of January 2016. An excerpt follows:

Q: Have you solidified the touring plans for the US?

A: “It’s been organized and finalized as we speak and it will be a headlining tour. It is going to be during the second week of January but I can’t say more because of all the details. I know for sure that we will do 70000 Tons Of Metal and this is another difficulty fitting into the program.”
