Cradle Of Filth<\/a> frontman Dani Filth has reflected on his band\u2019s now-famous tour with fellow black metal<\/a> hellraisers Emperor<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The two bands\u2019 1993 UK run has evolved into a big part of black metal history, given how successful both of them went on to be. However, talking exclusively to Metal Hammer, Filth reveals that the concerts they played were far from glamorous, not to mention very sparsely attended.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s amazing how many people come up to me and say, \u2018Hey, I was at the Bradford gig!\u2019,\u201d says Filth, \u201cand I\u2019m thinking, \u2018You and everybody else!\u2019 There was, like, 60 people there.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continues: \u201cBelieve it or not, in Edinburgh, we played to four people. There were more people in the bands than there were in the audience, and I think one was a dog. Very bad news.\u201d<\/p>\n

The fabled run was Emperor\u2019s first time in the UK, one year before they released debut album In The Nightside Eclipse, which won critical acclaim and gave the band an international following. Cradle also went on to release their debut album, The Principle Of Evil Made Flesh, in 1994.<\/p>\n

Cradle put out their 14th studio album, The Screaming of The Valkyries, via Napalm Records in March. Metal Hammer reviewer Chris Chantler gave it four stars out of five<\/a> and wrote: \u201cWith twiddly Maiden<\/a>-esque harmonies, 80s German thrash<\/a> riffs, horror soundtrack bombast and sexy goth allure, it\u2019s peak Cradle crystallised.\u201d<\/p>\n

The band recently toured the European festival circuit to promote the release, and Filth got engaged to his girlfriend Sofiya onstage during their set at Download in June.<\/p>\n
