Dani Filth of Cradle of Filth will publish an autobiography, The Filth: My Life In Devilry And Debauchery, on 5 June 2027. Joel McIver wrote it with him.

Fifty years is the span: a childhood in Suffolk, the discovery of extreme metal and punk, the bands before the band, the forming of Cradle of Filth, and the long middle stretch in which he became one of the few metal singers a British television audience could name on sight. Never Mind The Buzzcocks and Viva La Bam both turn up in it.

"You may not finish this book with your sanity intact," he says. "I barely did!" Pre-orders are open at resident-music.com.
