Long dead poet John Keats may have described autumn as a “season of mists and mellow fruitfulness” but for extreme metal legends CRADLE OF FILTH – led by iconic frontman Dani Filth – it’s a season of mischief and mayhem. 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 Hallowe’en itself. Joining the purveyors of pandemonium for UK & Irish shenanigans will be Butcher Babies and High Parasite. Do you dare get tickets for the By Order Of The Dragon tour?
