CRADLE OF FILTH – Announce New Guitarist

British gothic metal band CRADLE OF FILTH have officially welcomed guitarist Joff Bailey into their lineup as a permanent replacement for Marek “Ashok” Šmerda. The latter musician infamously parted ways with the group shortly after his wife Zoe Marie Federoff quit the band mid-tour last year. That couple engaged in a war of words with Cradle Of Filth frontman Dani Filth and the band’s management, which ended in a lawsuit.
