Reunited U.K. melo-death/gore-grind legends, CARCASS, will return to the United States this March for the “Exhumed to Consume II” tour. The follow up to last years highly successful “Exhume to Consume” tour will feature SUICIDE SILENCE, SAMAEL, ARSIS and PSYCROPTIC plus a few special guests on select dates. Vocalist/bassist and all around optimistic person Jeff Walker commented:

"Well, I'm pleased to announce that CARCASS is gonna settle it's unresolved scores in the U.S.! There was some slight whimpers of discontent that we didn't hit some cities such as Chicago and Denver last time round - places that were always hot spots of enthusiasm for us. So we're coming back in March to finish off our unsettled business! We seemed to have had a profound influence on your economy and gas prices have gotten cheaper haha! That's doesn't mean we’re not gonna come through and provide some value for your buck with some old (and new) school friends and comrades such as SUFFOCATION, SAMAEL, BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, EXODUS, SUICIDE SILENCE etc. - check out locally as for who is on the bill where! And hey, I couldn't think of anywhere better to be on my 40th birthday than the Sunshine Theatre in Albuquerque, New Mexico! We promise this will be the last time we darken your shores (I said that with my fingers crossed behind my back)!"

Here are the latest Carcass North American tour dates:

03/13/09 The Trocadero – Philadelphia, PA
03/14/09 Peabody’s – Cleveland, OH (w/ ABIGAIL WILLIAMS)
03/15/09 The Pearl Room – Mokena, IL (w/ THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER)
03/16/09 Majestic Theater – Detroit, MI (w/ THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER)
03/17/09 Headliner’s - Louisville, KY
03/21/09 Ridglea Theater – Ft. Worth, TX (w/ SUFFOCATION)
03/22/09 Meridian – Houston, TX
03/24/09 Gothic Theatre – Denver, CO
03/25/09 Sunshine Theatre - Albuquerque, NM
03/26/09 The Grand Ballroom - San Francisco, CA (THE FACELESS, TOXIC HOLOCAUST)
03/27/09 The Marquee Theatre - Phoenix, AZ (w/ SUFFOCATION)
03/28/09 The Grove - Anaheim, CA (California Metal Fest w/ SUFFOCATION, EXODUS, THE FACELESS etc.)

In February of 1999, CARCASS drummer Ken Owen suffered a near-fatal brain hemorrhage, leaving him in a coma for over 10 months. As a result, he is not taking part in CARCASS' current reunion run (ARCH ENEMY skinsman Daniel Erlandsson is filling in), but will reportedly be traveling with the band whenever possible and making brief appearances at select shows.

Here's CARCASS' reunion lineup:

Bill Steer (FIREBIRD) - Vocals, Guitar
Jeff Walker (BRUJERIA) - Vocals, Bass
Michael Amott (ARCH ENEMY) - Guitar
Daniel Erlandsson (ARCH ENEMY) – Drums

thx Kali, but I've given up on doing that with bands. I tried that with the meshuggah, cynic and faceless tour, and Meshuggah deleted me from their myspace friends lol.

Then again, I was a bit of an a$$ about it....lol

FAN: Hey, wasnt Cynic one of the forefathers of the Florida death metal scene? yet there are no Florida dates? you go to Alabama and georgia, but I guess gas is just that expensive that a swing by Florida, even northern florida, is impossible? I just looked at your comment section, and 35 of your 50 comments are people complaining that you dont hit South Florida. See a trend here? come on guys, get with the program....

Meshuggah myspace: *Delete FAN from Friends list*

FAN: "Damnit"

^i'm not an a$$hole? I'm guessing my new avatar hasnt shown up on your comp yet....

The last party I went to, i ended up on the balcony of the house I was at with this black girl i was hitting on, and this other black guy I hang out with a lot. I ended up telling racist jokes for a good half hour.

"What do Stevie wonder and Ray Charles have in common? A:they're both n*****s."

I think I specifically heard the phrase, "Wow, you're an a$$hole!" about 30 times that night lol

I guess you just havent hung out with me in real life enough to understand how much of a jerk i am Kali lol. I guess I'm just too nice when i type lol

yeah, that is true lol Idk I guess talking about metal with a bunch of people who like metal makes me too happy to be as big of a douche as i normally am lol normally i hang out around people who think they're so "hood", so I just end up doing my best to make them feel horrible about themselves I guess.

That and christians. Christ-humpers get it bad whenever they try and tell me about jesus. Especially since i started listening to Deicide lol I'm currently working on memorizing the lyrics to "Fvck Your God" so I can sing it whenever someone tries to start a sing-along on a bus or car for another song i hate lol

there arent too many christians on the metal site besides Red and AP, but they're not hypocritical douche-bags so they get the free pass from me lol

So yeah, I'm a bit on the nice side when it comes ot the guys/gals on here, oh well lol

I do guarantee though, you will LOVE my avatar if it shows up on your comp Kali. I picked it with you in mind...hehe
