In a new interview with Kerrang, Dani Filth shared the ‘stupidest’ thing he said on stage.
“We did a big metal festival in Greece once, and I mentioned England had beaten Greece in the World Cup or the Euros,” the frontman said. “I didn’t realise how f*cking sore they were.”
He added, “Honestly, the amount of water bottles that came onstage was perpetual. Apparently, though, a record number of people were taken to hospital from that show, from dehydration. So I felt like we had a little bit of recompense there…”
Last year, Cradle of Filth started working on their fourteenth studio album. It was mixed and mastered in July 2024 and is set to be released in March 2025.
“The new single will come out at the beginning of October prior to our European tour… So, yeah, new single prior to the album that’s coming out — I’m going to say end of February, but I’d be lying. ‘Cause I’ve got no idea. But it’s around that time,” Filth said of the new album in July.
He had also shared an update in May, explaining, “We’ve already done our [collaborative] track with Ed Sheeran, although that’ll be probably coming out on the special edition of the new album, but I can’t really talk much more about that, all legalities and what have you.”
The vocalist continued, “We should be dropping a new single, actually, around the time of the Australian tour [in September 2024], maybe a little bit later… [The single] should be [out] probably about the same time, with the album being dropped around March next year.”
Last month, Cradle of Filth released a new single named ‘Malignant Perfection.’ The song is their first new music since the 2021 album ‘Existence Is Futile.’ It came just before the start of their European tour.
The band is scheduled to perform in Manchester on November 2. After a few shows in the UK, they will head towards Germany for their Köln show on November 11.
