The Portuguese gothic metal band Moonspell has withdrawn from Cradle of Filth’s ‘Majestic in Death II’ North American tour due to visa processing delays. The band expressed disappointment, stating that their visas cannot be processed in time for the tour, which is scheduled to begin on September 29 in San Diego.

Blackbraid has been announced as the replacement for Moonspell. The tour, which celebrates the 30th anniversary of Cradle of Filth’s album ‘Dusk… And Her Embrace’, will also feature support from Worm and Black Satellite. Moonspell indicated they are working with agents to plan a return to North America in 2027.
