Cradle of Filth, one of the most iconic names in extreme metal, has once again sent shockwaves through the metal community with the announcement of their highly anticipated 2025 world tour. Led by the enigmatic Dani Filth, the band promises a journey unlike anything fans have ever experienced before, as they embark on a tour that will span multiple continents, taking their signature blend of gothic, black, and symphonic metal to a new level of theatricality and intensity.
The announcement, made via the band’s social media channels, was accompanied by a cryptic teaser video that immediately ignited excitement and speculation. In true Cradle of Filth fashion, the video hinted at dark, spine-chilling themes, with haunting visuals of decaying gothic architecture, cryptic symbols, and eerie soundscapes. The title of the tour, “Winds of Damnation,” suggests that Cradle of Filth will dive even deeper into the realms of occultism, horror, and mythology, themes the band is known for mastering throughout their career.
Fans are particularly eager to hear how Cradle of Filth’s new material will sound live. The band’s latest album, “Vampyric Rites,” released in 2024, has been hailed as one of their most ambitious works to date, blending brutal intensity with lush symphonic elements and some of Dani Filth’s most poetic and sinister lyrics. It’s expected that much of this album will feature prominently on the tour setlist, along with classic fan-favorites like “Her Ghost in the Fog” and “Nymphetamine.”
The tour will kick off in early 2025, beginning in Europe with stops in major cities such as London, Paris, and Berlin, before heading to North America, South America, Asia, and Australia. Each stop is rumored to include elaborate stage designs, pyrotechnics, and a theatrical experience that pays homage to the band’s gothic aesthetic.
As anticipation builds, fans around the world are eagerly awaiting ticket sales, which are expected to sell out quickly. Cradle of Filth’s 2025 tour promises to be a must-see event for metalheads and anyone craving a truly immersive, dark musical experience.
