Reunited UK 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 year's 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 US! 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)!"

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.

Carcass' reunion lineup:

Bill Steer (FIREBIRD) - vocals, guitar

Jeff Walker (BRUJERIA) - vocals, bass

Michael Amott (Arch Enemy) - guitar

Daniel Erlandsson (Arch Enemy) – drums
