Legal papers filed in Arizona, USA, reveal that a group of former members of Cradle of Filth are suing mainman Dani Filth and a string of companies linked to the band.
It follows a period of turmoil which saw keyboardist Zoe Marie Federof leave the band in August, days before her husband – guitarist Marek 'Ashok' Šmerda – was fired for strongly criticising the band’s business practices. Ashok's comments were described by Dani Filth as defamatory.
