Cradle of Filth & Blackbraid ticket give away

Cradle of Filth and Blackbraid are coming to the Baltimore Soundstage this Monday, October 19th, with support from Worm and Black Satellite! That’s one hell of a line up which makes DCHM excited to give away a pair of tickets to one of you lucky readers. You can enter by either leaving a comment telling me your favorite song by any band playing this show on my Instagram post here OR you can leave a comment on this post as usual, making sure to include an email address so I can contact you if you win. If you want to double your chances of winning you can even enter in both places. Then this Friday, October 16th at 8pm the contest will close and a winner will be selected from all valid entries using Random.org! If the selected winner hasn’t written me back within 24 hours then another winner will be selected. If you can’t wait to see if you win or the contest is already over when you read this, then you can purchase tickets here.

On this tour Cradle of Filth will be playing several songs from their classic 1996 album Dusk and Her Embrace as well as other selected tracks from their entire catalog. Blackbraid will bring their moving Native American black metal as direct support, a late addition to the tour after Moonspell fell victim to visa issues. Worm plays a style of symphonic black metal with touches of doom metal and a heavy dose of medieval fantasy imagery. Opening act Black Satellite is an gothy rock band from New York City that will get things started right. Now check out the videos of all of these bands below and tell me your favorite song by any band on the bill!

Cradle of Filth – Her Ghost in the Fog

Blackbraid – The Spirit Returns

Worm – Blackheart

Black Satellite – Kill For You
