Cradle Of Filth has completed work on their 14th studio album. The currently untitled effort, expected to hit store shelves in the first quarter of 2025, serves as the follow-up to Existence Is Futile, which was released in 2021.

Earlier today, vocalist Dani Filth issued the following message via social media:

"The new Cradle album is finally mixed, mastered and has winged its way to the record company already! Cause for celebration? I ruddy well think so as it’s been quite a journey and the finished article is a meticulous, magnificent, maleficent monster! And I can say that without any resonance of sounding a bighead, as it’s perfectly true. So prepare for the first video and single from the new - as yet untitled album - storming forth in early Autumn!

In the meantime, the shows at KST Basta in Belgrade, Serbia and LA Cham in Cham, Germany are both edging into LOW TICKET territory. As for our Australian Invasion in September, Sydney and Brisbane at The Metro and The Triffid respectively are both well into a LOW TICKET warning, with Brisbane currently at 50 tickets or less available. Don’t delay! Get Filthy today!"

Nothing kicks off the spooky season like a hellacious Cradle Of Filth live extravaganza and the band have just unveiled eleven such auspicious UK & Ireland occasions, including a spine-chilling evening at London's O2 Forum Kentish Town on Halloween itself. Joining the purveyors of pandemonium for UK & Irish shenanigans will be Butcher Babies and High Parasite.
