CRADLE OF FILTH To Alternate Sets On North American Tour

September 17, 2007

CRADLE OF FILTH bassist Dave Pybus has issued the following update:

"So, here we are, on the eve of the second U.S. tour for 'Thornography'! Just back from Sunday morning rehearsals (no church for us) with a slight headache due to last nights drinking session with keyboardist Rosie. This time it's a little bit different to a straight ahead CRADLE OF FILTH headlining tour. Viva La Bands is obviously Bam Margera's crazy idea, but we like Bam, so we expect only the best in chaos to come. Good mix of bands as well. The addition of VIKING SKULL made me smile as I met them a few years back. It will be fun to meet them again, this time for some serious drinking sessions.

"Just wanted to mention something about the tour set list. Got a pretty cool mix of old and new tracks. Like two songs off every CRADLE album. The set won't be as long as we'd like it (like two hours, yeah) so we've decided to alternate sets to keep us on our toes. Added the new song 'Foetus...' which is the track we chose for the second video from 'Thornography'. You should be able to see that soon. 'Temptation' has been dropped from the set this time. Added 'Twisted Nail Of Faith', 'Principle Of Evil Made Flesh', 'Tortured Soul Asylum', among others. Going for some pretty cool songs that we've played in the past. It's a hard decision sometimes to get a fair mix but we feel happy with what we went with.

"OK, I'd better get on with packing. NFL season started and I'm looking forward to seeing a lot more games on TV than is possible in the UK. Find me in a local bar near the venue on Sundays, crying into my beer as my team (the Redskins) get their asses kicked."

CRADLE OF FILTH vocalist Dani Filth recently recorded vocals for the theme song to Dario Argento's latest horror/suspense opus "Mother of Tears: The Third Mother". The song, entitled "(She's) The Mother of Tears" was composed by Claudio Simonetti. Simonetti, a veritable legend among horror film scores, is also noted for penning music to such classics as "Dawn of the Dead", "Suspiria", "Phenomena" and several episodes of the popular series "Masters of Horror".

CRADLE OF FILTH is headlining Bam Margera's Viva La Bands 2007 North American Tour, presented by Rockstar Energy Drink. The band is touring alongside some of Bam Margera's other favorite acts, including GWAR, CKY and up-and-comers VAINS OF JENNA.
