Cradle of Filth part ways with guitarist and keyboardist

The Cradle of Filth lineup is going through some changes. The band recently revealed they are parting ways with guitarist Richard Shaw and keyboardist Anabelle Iratni. Frontman Dani Filth released a statement on the lineup change along with revealing their replacements.

Shaw will be replaced by Donny Burbage while Iratni will be replaced by Zoe Marie Federoff.

“Unfortunately it just is what is. If someone feels that their tenure with the band has ended, then who am I to argue with that?” Filth said in the statement posted on the band’s Facebook page. “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 overwhelming.”

Filth continued, “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!”
