JAKARTA - Dani Filth finally spoke up regarding the sudden departure of Cradle of Filth personnel. Through statements on social media, he answered various accusations made by former guitarists and their keyboardists, especially about low salaries to "unprofessional" behavior.

The problem started when Zogulis M. Federoff announced it was out for "personal reasons". A few days later, the band fired guitarist Amhok "Ashok" 11, which is also Federoff's husband. The two then accused management and the band of committing a number of violations.

In his statement, Dani Filth denied the contract clause which was said to be too restrictive. "We don't prohibit our musicians from working with other bands, we only ask for adequate planning," he wrote. He also defended band management from various accusations.

Filth revealed that the couple's personal problems also affected the band's dynamics. He said there was "drinking, escalating arguments, and repeated public disputes in creating a very disturbing atmosphere."

He even shared a text message whereUMERda likened their management to Sharon Osbourne disrespectfully. "We're not going to let anyone talk like that about Ozzy's wife," added Filth firmly.

However, the Cradle of Filth tour in South America is reportedly continuing without a hitch. There will be two musicians who will join as tour members as long as the position is still vacant.

At the end of his statement, Dani Filth thanked the fans and other musicians who supported them during this drama. He chose not to comment much and focused more on preparing for the tour which is currently still ongoing.

With this clarification, the internal saga of one of the well-known metal extreme bands, hopefully, will soon find a bright spot.
