Cradle Of Filth announce the departure of guitarist Richard Shaw and Keyboardist Anabelle Iratni from the band’s ranks. Due to other commitments Richard is passing his spot to newcomer Donny Burbage, who will be fulfilling guitar duties throughout the forthcoming US tour with Danzig. Anabelle’s successor is going to be the very talented singer/keyboardist Zoe Marie Federoff.
Dani Filth had this to say on the recent departures:
“Unfortunately it just is what it is. If someone feels that their tenure with the band has ended, then who am I to argue with that?
“We have to respect that people have personal commitments and/or sometimes find the career choice of being in a band like Cradle a tad overshelming.
“That being said, 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!”
