Dani Filth, frontman of CRADLE OF FILTH, will release his autobiography, “The Filth: My Life In Devilry And Debauchery”, in June 2027 through Little, Brown Book Group, a division of Hachette UK. The book was co-written with British author Joel McIver, who has written around 25 books, including the best-selling “Justice For All: The Truth About Metallica.” Originally published in 2004, the book has since been translated into nine languages.
Filth commented: “Filthlings, I have some epic news, I’ve written a book!
“Publishing next June, in ‘The Filth: My Life In Devilry And Debauchery’, I’ll take you on a 50-year journey from an idyllic childhood in the witch county of Suffolk, through my tearaway teenage years of skateboarding, skulduggery and Satanic malarkey, through to my discovery of extreme metal, hardcore punk and a few mushroom-fuelled journeys into the realms of psychic chaos.
“We skip lightly over early bands of mine such as Carnival Fruitcake, Feast On Excrement, and Hash Gordon & the Drug Barons From Mars before the violent birth of CRADLE OF FILTH and the start of a four-decade battle campaign around the world.
“Along the way we visit the BBC’s ‘Never Mind The Buzzcocks’ and MTV’s ‘Viva La Bam’, French policemen try to break my thumbs, murderers confess their crimes, I’m held at gunpoint at the Vatican, I very nearly get decapitated by an exploding tin of beans, and so much Jagermeister is consumed that my blood practically turns green.
“You may not finish this book with your sanity intact. I barely did!”.
