Dani Filth is set to put his own spin on the story of his life with the upcoming autobiography The Filth: My Life In Devilry And Debauchery.
The Cradle Of Filth frontman has teamed up with British author Joel McIver for the book, which will be published by Little, Brown Book Group, part of Hachette UK, in June 2027.
McIver is a prolific author whose work includes around 25 books, among them the best-selling Justice For All: The Truth About Metallica, originally released in 2004 and subsequently published in nine languages.
Filth announced the autobiography with a characteristically colorful description of what readers can expect from the book.
Dani wrote in a statement: “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!”
Fans can already pre-order The Filth: My Life In Devilry And Debauchery at this location.
Meanwhile, Cradle of Filth are continuing their “Majestic In Death” touring campaign with a second North American leg this fall. The run will feature Moonspell, Worm, and Black Satellite as support.
