Dying Fetus & Cradle of Filth Lead Chaos & Carnage Tour

The extreme metal tour Chaos & Carnage has returned for its sixth year on the road with veteran death metal outfit Dying Fetus leading the 16-date tour of clubs and theaters alongside longtime British metalheads Cradle of Filth.

Both bands have long been staples of the black metal and grindcore scenes dating back to the early 1990s, and Chaos & Carnage is a touring project created by industry veterans Jason Malhoyt of Imperial Artist Management and agent JJ Cassiere, who launched indie booking agency 33 And West in 2018.

Dying Fetus and Cradle of Filth are joined on the 2025 Chaos & Carnage Tour by five support acts, including Italian symphonic death metal outfit Fleshgod Apocalypse, Australian progressive metal six piece Ne Obliviscaris, New York metal group Undeath along with newcomers Vomit Forth and Corpse Pile.

Originally launched in 2018, Chaos & Carnage is slated to play its sixth tour this year as a showcase for the elite of heavy metal and black metal, with past headliners including Whitechapel, Carnifex, Suicide Silence, Cattle Decapitation, Lorna Shore, Humanity’s Last Breath and more.

Tickets go on sale Friday, Dec. 20, at 10 a.m. local time. VIP upgrades are available Monday, Jan. 6, at 10 a.m. local time, exclusively at ChaosAndCarnage.com.
