Pop stars wearing t-shirts with rock and metal band logos always end up becoming a topic of conversation. Besides one of the members of the K-Pop group Blackpink recently wearing an outfit with images of Iron Maiden and KISS , another figure who donned metal attire some time ago was singer Billie Eilish .

Billie appeared wearing a t-shirt that combined Cradle of Filth , Rob Zombie , and Type O Negative about two years ago , but only now have guitarists Richard Shaw and Marek “Ashok” Šmerda commented on the matter. In a recent interview, the musicians were asked about their opinion regarding mainstream names wearing metal t-shirts.

“I don’t see any problem at all,” Ashok replied. “Maybe they just like Cradle of Filth’s music. I myself love many different musical genres, sometimes I even surprise my closest friends because they don’t expect a metalhead to be that open-minded.”

Richard agreed with his bandmate: “I love it. If they love the band, great. If they don’t, it’s still great. I’m up for anything that spreads the band’s name in the mainstream. It’s great that Cradle’s name is still synonymous with controversy after all these years.”
