Eight Gigs: Cradle of Filth
Sat., Feb. 20, 6:30 p.m., Ace of Spades, $25
Cradle of Filth, the extreme metal band from the UK, canceled the first four dates of its U.S. tour in January due to problems obtaining visas from the American Embassy. Still, the hellish band with its symphonic, black and gothic metal appears to have resolved its issues and will stop in Sacramento to perform songs off its 11th studio album, Hammer of the Witches, set for release July 10. The album’s cover art reflects the lyricism of the entire album. It’s rich in Renaissance themes and conjures topics of heady witchcraft, torment and unregulated spiritual liberation. 1417 R Street, www.cradleoffilth.com.
