Chaos & Carnage 2025: Cradle Of Filth & Dying Fetus at The Wiltern

The annual Chaos & Carnage Tour has become a mainstay in bringing the best of metal to the masses. This year, Chaos & Carnage is slated to kick off screaming and shredding in Berkeley, California, in mid-April 2025, pummeling down on all the major venues before taking a bow in Denver, Colorado, in mid-May 2025.

The co-headlining bands, Cradle Of Filth and Dying Fetus, have the big guns, and they’re pointed at all the metal lovers out there looking for their fix.

Cradle Of Filth live in concert is an explosion of musical napalm, set to blow their audience to pieces with insane skill, dark themes, driving drums, crazy chemistry, and unparalleled vocal talent. It’s that melt-your-face-off kind of stuff – from ‘Nymphetamine (Overdose)’ and ‘Her Ghost in The Fog’ to ‘Funeral in Carpathia’ to ‘Cruelty Brought Thee Orchids’, from the piercing high screams and guttural growls to incredible melodic phrases, riffs to die for, intense-as-hell instrumentals, and driving energy.

Rumor also has it that Cradle Of Filth might be dropping that highly anticipated follow-up album to 2021’s ‘Existence Is Futile’ soon, which will bring their studio albums to a total of 14.

When it comes to Dying Fetus, it’s pure savagery blasted from dizzy heights onto a crowd that gobbles it up - up to the last crumb. From monstrous riffs and crazy blast beats to indomitable hooks and thunderous grooves, Dying Fetus is insanely and utterly incredible. It’s everything: virtuous guitar playing that shreds out the most incredible notes, a ferocious bass that goes right head-to-head with the guitar, utter brutality balanced with beautiful technicality, and, of course, at the heart, thoughtfully and masterfully crafted music.

The two co-headlining extreme metal forces, together with Fleshgod Apocalypse, Ne Obliviscaris, Undeath, Vomit Forth, and Corpse Pile, are altogether set to rain musical carnage down upon The Wiltern, one of the most popular live music venues in North America. The venue boasts seating for between 1,500 and 4,000 fist-pounding and horn-flashing metal heads, spread across four levels, all providing the best experience one can possibly have!

So are you ready to have a hell of a time stuffed to the brim with chaos and carnage, total savagery, and utter brutality set to leave you shell-shocked and oh, so satisfied? Get your tickets now!
