Cradle of Filth is currently on tour with Wednesday 13 and Raven Black. The Cryptoriana- The Second Coming of Vice World Tour began its North America leg of the tour March 7th 2019 at House of Blues in Las Vegas, Nevada and is set to finish up April 18th at House of Blues in Dallas, Texas. This tour is also the second leg of their tour which proceeds their 2017 release of Cryptoriana-The Seductiveness of Decay.
Cradle of Filth played Ace of Spades in Sacramento, California on Saturday, March 9th 2019. Raven Black opened the show at 7pm on the dot and instantly had the crowd up and moving. A giant circle pit in the crowd opened up and didn’t stop till their set ended. Front woman, Raven Black puts on a nice theatrical performance in her signature creepy little doll character. And her hypnotic performance will instantly turn you into a fan if you are new to their music. New to the band, Drew Johnston (Recently a Stowaway on ShipRocked, and former Guitar Tech for bands like Sevendust and 30 Seconds to Mars) has joined them on the road as a guitarist and fits in seamlessly.
