DANI FILTH Looks Back At Infamous CRADLE OF FILTH T-Shirt – “I Would Be Uncomfortable Wearing It Now”
July 12, 2023, a year ago
Guesting on Jesse Leach’s Stoke The Fire podcast, the Killswitch Engage frontman spoke to Dani Filth about Cradle Of Filth’s infamous “Jesus Is A Cunt” t-shirt.
Filth spoke about the idea behind the shirt saying: "The thing about that shirt was that it was, actually, an anarchic statement, if anything, when we did it. It was just like, 'who could you poke with a stick more than anybody else, and it have an overarching effect?'"
The COF frontman went on to say, "As nasty as it is, I must admit, I would be uncomfortable wearing it now."
Earlier this year, extreme metal icons Cradle Of Filth and groove metal pioneers DevilDriver embarked on a killer co-headline tour, purveying their musical onslaught to thousands of fans across the country.
This October, the dark duo will return for the tour's second leg, dubbed "Double Trouble Live II". The tour will begin in Los Angeles, CA on October 4, visiting a slew of cities across the US before ending back in Riverside, CA on October 29.
Cradle Of Filth have checked in with the following update:
"Filthlings, we have VIP upgrades available for the second leg of our Double Trouble Live tour with DevilDriver! If you want to meet the band, get your things signed and some new merch, get an upgrade here. Please note that the upgrade does not include a ticket to the concert which must be purchased separately."
Tour support will come from Ill Niño, Black Satellite and Savage Existence.
