Thursday, April 19, 2018 – Tonight the Balasco Theater in Los Angeles was hosting England’s finest, Cradle of Filth. The crowds lined up early for this one. There were two lines and both were quite long. One of the lines had started in the early afternoon, as fans were there early for the meet and greet event. Fans who paid for this pre-show event were able to meet the band, get signatures, and also had the opportunity to take a photo. What a great way for rabid fans to start the evening.
It was time for the brutal assault to commence. The band emerged from the darkness and immediately started their set with “Gilded Cunt.” From there they played an assortment of songs from their back catalog like “Heartbreak and Seance,” “The Death of Love,” “Nymphetamine Fix,” and “From the Cradle to Enslave.” Cradle of Filth gave LA what they were seeking, a nice dose of extreme, dark metal.
Dani Filth and crew were here as part of their Cryptoriana World Tour.
The band is currently on tour in support of their album ‘Cryptoriana – The Seductiveness of Decay’ which was released in September 2017. The tour kicked off in Mexico City on March 27. From there, the tour moved across the border into Texas, making its way to the East Coast and upward into Canada before making its way back to the Midwest. It finishes off on the West Coast in San Francisco on April 22. See full set list from tonight’s show below.
