We’ve only just seen Carcass in concert a few weeks ago when they rumbled through our neck of the Metal woods with help from Crowbar, Ghoul and Night Demon and what an event that was. Fans over here are still discussing the highlights of the show and with good reason. Now the Brits have disclosed the news about their return and I’ve secured that news along with the show poster for you to indulge in. Check it out.

Leave a comment

My city was abuzz with all the Primary Elections hoopla and as I compose my narrative about this exciting tour it seems as though both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton had won their respective parties in my state. While I never get political here on the site, I can say that the next few months are going to be quite interesting. Now onto the awesome task at hand which is the announcement that both Carcass and Crowbar will be touring together and bringing along Ghoul and Night Demon. Check out the poster, the full press copy and dates and count the moments until I opine on this for you a little deeper. Here we go.

Hey Metalheads, I’m not going to say too much about this one since I think that it speaks for itself. The mighty Carcass is bringing their “Inked In Steel” tour to parts of the states but not NYC (screams in anguish) and shall be doing so with Obituary, Macabre, Exhumed and Noisem. Check out the poster, press release and dates for you lucky ducks in those regions and then I will return with some closing thoughts.

Leave a comment

The Press Release:
Disinterred British extreme metal legends CARCASS have signed to Nuclear Blast Records for the world excluding Japan! Surgical Steel, the band’s first studio release since their 1996 LP Swansong, was produced by Colin Richardson (NAPALM DEATH, BOLT THROWER, GOREFEST, CANNIBAL CORPSE, SINISTER, RODRIGO Y GABRIELA) and mixed/mastered by Andy Sneap (MEGADETH, ACCEPT, EXODUS, TESTAMENT). Joining guitarist Bill Steer and bassist/vocalist Jeff Walker in the band’s current incarnation are new drummer Dan Wilding (ABORTED, TRIGGER THE BLOODSHED) and guitarist Ben Ash (PIG IRON, DESOLATION, LIQUEFIED SKELETON). Expect some guest vocals from original sticksman Ken Owen as well, when Surgical Steel is released this Fall world-wide.

CARCASS has released the following statement regarding their new found partners in medical deviancy: “We are pleased to announce that we have found the perfect home for “Surgical Steel”, the first CARCASS album for, what, eighteen years?! We’ve inked a deal with Nuclear Blast for our new baby.

We have to thank Markus Staiger for his enthusiasm and belief in what he heard, but mostly his ability to take advantage of Jeff with a bad hangover when he visited the office in Stuttgart to let him be the first to hear the rough mixes. Nuclear Blast has managed to secure this release despite interest from all the main players in what remains of the metal ‘music industry’.
