Cradle of Filth’s ‘Inquisitional Torture’ Tour

Cradle of Filth hasn’t forgotten about its Filthlings on the other side of the pond. The British metal band is headed back to North America in January for its first full-fledged tour since 2011.

Dani Filth & Co. have a new album to show off. Released in July, Hammer of the Witches is the group’s 11th studio album and first to feature guitarists Marek ‘Ashok’ Šmerda and Richard Shaw, as well as keyboardist/vocalist Lindsay Schoolcraft.

All Music Review gives the album 4.5 stars, writing that the release offers “proof that there is plenty of fire and creativity left in Cradle of Filth.”
