Earlier today, Cradle Of Filth revealed that guitarist Richard Shaw and keyboardist Anabelle Iratni have both left the band. Their replacements were also announced, namely Donny Burbage and Zoe Marie Federoff.
Zoe has introduced herself to the legions of Filth fans around the world, with the following statement via social media:
"It is with immense pleasure that I announce the Grammy-nominated dark forces of Cradle Of Filth have asked me to join them on their dark and fantastical adventures, and I’ve agreed to provide them with my vocals and keys. It’s a great honor to work with some of the people who inspired my own musical path in the first place and I couldn’t be more excited. I’d like to thank my bandmates in Catalyst Crime for encouraging me to go for this position, Vixen, Andy, and most especially the greatest keyboardist I know, Jonah Weingarten, for helping me prepare for the role.
Catalyst Crime isn’t going to disappear, you’ll be hearing plenty from us soon about the next album and future plans, but in the meantime you can catch me on tour in the US and Canada with Cradle Of Filth for the next six weeks and throughout the summer festival season as well - check their site for dates and events!
If you are new to my page, welcome. I am honored to help deliver your favorite CoF songs and I look forwards to meeting you!"
Cradle Of Filth frontman Dani Filth reminds everyone that, "The band are continuing as indefatigably as ever, with a slew of Summer festival dates happening after the tour with Danzig in the US and Canada, plus further Autumn announcements to follow swiftly after. We also have another exciting announcement to share, but all in due course!
Regardless of what befalls us, we stay FILTHY!
For those of you not in the know, Cradle Of Filth are pleased to announce headlining dates whilst on their off days from the Danzig tour. VIP add ons are available for select dates."
