Cradle of Filth

It was a small venue which made it exciting , closer to the band , but in general its been the best gig so far I've watched with cradle of filth, was very hot inside , the security done a brilliant job , can't fault anything 100/100 , hope cradle come back there again , when I left my ears were ringing till about 10am the next day Cradle of filth you put on such a show out of this world

A Night of Dark Majesty: Cradle of Filth Live at Café De Zwerver, Leure Last Saturday evening, the usually quiet village of Leure, nestled in the municipality of Middelkerke, was shaken to its core by the infernal spectacle of Cradle of Filth. The legendary British extreme metal band transformed Café De Zwerver into a cathedral of darkness, delivering a performance that will surely linger in the memories of everyone lucky enough to witness it. From the moment Dani Filth emerged through the haze of crimson stage lights and billowing smoke, clad in his trademark gothic regalia, the crowd erupted in a collective roar that threatened to bring the low ceiling down. With chilling shrieks and theatrical gestures, he commanded the stage like a malevolent ringmaster, drawing the audience deeper into Cradle of Filth’s twisted universe. The setlist was a carefully curated journey through the band’s vast discography. Classics like "Her Ghost in the Fog" and "Nymphetamine" ignited frenzied headbanging, while newer material showcased their enduring creative fire. Each song was rendered with precision and ferocity, the twin guitar assault slicing through the dense atmosphere as Martin ‘Marthus’ Škaroupka’s relentless drumming rattled the walls. Despite the intimate setting, the production was nothing short of spectacular. Every note of the orchestral backing tracks perfectly balanced with the punishing riffs. Between songs, Dani engaged the crowd with his sardonic humor and wicked grin, proving once again that behind the nightmarish theatrics lies a performer who genuinely relishes the connection with his audience. The Belgian fans responded in kind, chanting, cheering, and raising devil horns high into the air. As the encore drew to a close with a blistering rendition of "From the Cradle to Enslave," the applause was deafening. Even after the band had left the stage, it took several minutes for the crowd to disperse—no one seemed quite ready to let go of the spell Cradle of Filth had cast. This was more than a concert. It was a ritual celebration of darkness and artistry, proof that after all these years, Cradle of Filth still reign supreme as one of metal’s most captivating forces.

I'm sure the concert was great. I didn't get to go, not due to my own actions. Some asshole decided to drive irrationally, get himself killed in a car accident, and I was unable to attend. Now I am out $120. I wish I could meet the dead man's family and tell them how much it fucked up all the peoples day on the freeway including mine.

It was an amazing night , especially the supporting bands , it's the first time I've seen the butcher babies and wow what an experience they were brilliant ,then cradle of filth came on and they blew the roof off Can't wait till the next gig they do

Been 5 years. since last concert here in Sydney and what a show. New guitarist Donny Burbage and Zoe Marie Federoff on keys. were excellent and fitted in nicely. The band has certainly upped their game since last tour with a great performance.

All of the bands performed amazingly and sound quality was excellent! Giving a four because there was no notice that the show got pushed back an hour and we were standing outside for 90 extra mins for VIP, and no one came out to explain what was going on.

The venue and VIP balcony was not as great as it seemed. They oversell the balcony and you end up watching the show through the legs of people enjoying it no problems. 5 stars for the bands and the performances. Only removing one star due to the venue and the awful system they have there.

Great show Cradle of filth blew a tire on the way to Calgary ended up getting to the venue less than an hour before there set so they didn't quite get the whole stage set up but after scrambling and setting up super fast they put on a great show. Wednesday 13 and Raven Black were perfect combination of opening acts

I've been a 20+ year fan of Cradle of Filth and I've had the opportunity to see them live several times over the years but this last concert topped them all! This band has gotten me through some of the biggest challenges in my life and when I truly needed them most the pulled through and gave me an experience that will last for ages to come. I also had the opportunity for Vip Meet and Greet and that was another mind-blowing experience in itself. The venue was great and one I look forward to visiting again!

They weren't the headliners so they played some classic tunes. It was a great performance with alot of energy. They clearly show that they can put on a straight foward show as good as equally as theatrical production.

It was great, and this is coming from someone who is more fond of later CoF. Dani and company put on a phenomenal show and I am grateful that they started these streams considering the prolonged in concert lockdown. Can’t wait to see them live again to thank them in person.

I've been an avid listener of Cradle of Filth for over 20 years. I've seen them live, one time back in 2018 when they toured the US and came to Philly with Jinjer in Tow. This wasn't a live, in person concert, but this was by far the next best thing! It was an outstanding performance that did not disappoint! I've listened and watched the performance twice and it hasn't even been 24hours later! The Vip meet and greet tomorrow is the 2nd most exciting part! Can't wait for the next performance!

I was super stoked because my friend had an extra ticket and I haven’t see COF since they played the 2nd stage at Ozzfest.. They are so wicked! I loved the energy and vibe. The venue was also very nice by throwing down the a killer light show and the band ONCE HUMAN really surprised me and turned me into a new fan, I’ve never seen them live and was so delighted by their stage performance and presentation, the lead singer is a female Phenomena \m/

A pesar de los problema de Dani con su micro el cuál hizo volar un par de veces para destrozarlo, a pesar del sol incesante y el calor hicieron un show muy oscuro! Grandes! Lástima que se rajaran y no fueran a firmar.

Despite the sunlight and the overwhelming heat, their best gig in Barcelona ever. And I have attended them all since the early nineties... Btw their live sound engineers should take notice on how should CoF sound live. Congratulations to the band.

Awesome gig with the full "cruelty" performance. This line up is at the top of performance on old and new songs...hope they will put again performer girls in cages like in the late '90 shows

I've never enjoyed a concert more than I did this one! The VIP meet and greet far surpassed my expectations, Uncured is Awesome and is a force to be reckoned with. Jinger kick ass! Cradle of Filth didn't disappoint and just blew me away and proved why they are my favorite band! I will definitely make this trip again!

The show was excellent and so we're the opening bands. The meet and greet was a letdown. It was not as intimate as it used to be. the band use to hang out with the v.i.p. ticket holders. now it was treated like an ozzfest event. I was ushered in a line for the autograph and then into another line for a photo op. and then ushered out. I also made the mistake of buying merchandise early and then I was informed that exit and reentry was not allowed, so I had to hold on to my autographed stuff and four purchased shirts throughout the whole show. In the Houston show we were allowed to put our stuff in our vehicles before the show started as long as we held on to our passes. the band also chilled and talked to the fans. I love cradle of filth and will continue to support but the v.i.p. treatment to this event was lacking.
