Blackbraid have joined Cradle Of Filth’s upcoming North American tour, stepping in for Moonspell after the Portuguese gothic metal outfit was forced to withdraw due to visa issues.
Moonspell confirmed that their visas could not be processed in time for the trek, which will now feature Blackbraid alongside Worm and Black Satellite as support for Cradle Of Filth.
“With broken hearts, we must announce that Moonspell will have to sit out this tour, as our visas cannot be processed in time. We know many of you were looking forward to seeing us, and we share your disappointment. The band and our agent are already working hard to bring us back to North America in 2027.”
The band also encouraged fans to continue supporting the tour, specifically welcoming Blackbraid as their replacement while praising the other acts and Cradle Of Filth.
“Please go and support this incredible tour! The mighty Blackbraid are stepping in, alongside with the amazing Worm and the fantastic Black Satellite remaining on the bill alongside our brothers in Cradle Of Filth, whom we salute! We wish them all an unforgettable run!”
Cradle Of Filth have dubbed the trek the “Majestic In Death II” tour, which will also serve as part of the band’s celebration of the 30th anniversary of their sophomore album, ‘Dusk… And Her Embrace’. The group has previously indicated that the anniversary run will feature additional songs from the landmark 1996 release in their live set.
The tour gets underway September 29 in San Diego, California, and will continue across North America through October 28.
