Godspeed On The Devil Down Under!

New York, NY. (Top40 Charts/ Roadrunner Records) - Awaken from thy nightmarish faerytale and prepare for the violation of thy soul as the Lords of all the metal-goth-vampire disciples, the inimitable Cradle of Filth, descend upon Australian soil in 2009. Just Say Rock Productions, in bloodied unison with Roadrunner Records Australia, proudly presents Cradle of Filth's, Godspeed on the Devil Down Under tour in May 2009.

Conspicuously missing since 2000's Midian tour, the metal innovators from Suffolk, England will deliver their full theatrical show to Australian audiences who have been kept waiting in the depths of murky darkness for 'ages'.

And of course, controversy was always trailing not too far behind. The now infamous and highly sought after "Jesus is a C**t" t-shirt had fans worldwide (even hitting home, in Brisbane) fined and arrested for wearing it in public.

In October 2008, Cradle of Filth unleashed their 8th album, Godspeed on the Devil's Thunder (through Roadrunner). The album is a dark, chilling account of the hellish life of Gilles De Rais, a 15th century French nobleman turned murderer and Satanist.

Cradle of Filth's lavish musical arrangements and uncompromising persona are equally matched by a thrilling and dramatic live show. This is one date with the devil that you don't want to miss. You'll be damned if you do...and if you don't.
