CHTHONIC To Support CRADLE OF FILTH On Select Dates

August 6, 2007

Taiwanese act CHTHONIC — the first-ever Asian extreme metal act invited to tour with Ozzfest — has been tapped to support the legendary CRADLE OF FILTH at four intimate September shows. These will be the final concerts of the band's first North American tour, and the conclusion of the first leg of their "UNlimited Tour".

"It's our pleasure to tour with CRADLE OF FILTH," says vocalist Freddy Lim. "They are one of the bands who inspired us to write this kind of music."

CHTHONIC (pronounced "THON-ick") took a detour from Ozzfest last week in order to travel to Germany, where the group performed at Wacken Open Air, the country's largest annual heavy metal festival. They rejoined Ozzfest in St. Louis on Aug. 6, the first in a stretch of 25 shows in 25 days that also includes a dozen "off-fest" shows alongside NILE.

The "UNlimited Tour" continues with another dozen concerts in September — including a New York performance supporting KATATONIA — before coming to an end alongside CRADLE OF FILTH, who will then embark on the second "Viva La Bands" tour.

CHTHONIC, whose 2002 album "Relentless Recurrence" and last year's "A Decade On The Throne" live DVD/2CD set were recently released in America for the first time, plans to tour Europe for the first time this fall.

CHTHONIC supporting CRADLE OF FILTH:

Sep. 19 - Le Capitole Theatre - Quebec City, QC
Sep. 20 - Metropolis - Montreal, QC
Sep. 21 - Webster Theatre - Hartford, CT
Sep. 22 - Higher Ground - Burlington, VT
