Cradle Of Filth have decided against using pyrotechnics during their performance at Cluj Arena in Cluj Napoca, Romania tonight (November 10th) out of respect for the dead at the recent club fire that occurred during Goodbye To Gravity‘s club show in Bucharest. Pyrotechnics lit the improperly insulated club ablaze during that band’s performance, claiming the lives of at least 45 victims. Cradle Of Filth said of their decision:
“Cradle Of Filth would like to dedicate their concert tonight in Romania to the victims of the Colectiv nightclub fire in Bucharest in which forty five people, who attended a heavy metal show by the band Goodbye To Gravity, have died.
By way of paying respect, the band will not be using their current pyro system in the country, despite a successful and more importantly, totally safe show in which it was utilised in Budapest last night.
Our thoughts are with the families of all those who were injured or killed.”
Dates for the band’s current run throughout Europe can be found here.
