Legendary Tampa-based death metallers CANNIBAL CORPSE have issued the following update:

"We have just returned from Brazil, where we finished off the Kill tour with a very successful four show mini-tour. This was our 3rd trip to Brazil, and we were happy to see lots of old friends as well as many new ones. We really had an excellent time there, and we want to thank the fans in Brazil for giving us such a great response. These will likely be the last shows we do until 2009, so we are really happy to finish the tour on such a high note. We also would like to thank Eduardo and Victor for doing a great job with the organization of the tour, all of the local crews/promoters, and all of the excellent bands we shared the stage with during the tour.

The touring we did for Kill turned out to be some of the most extensive we've done in our career. During the tour we played festival tours such as No Mercy and Sounds of the Underground, as well as excellent one-off festivals like Wacken, With Full Force, Hellfest, New England Metalfest, and Graspop. We also did two headlining tours of Europe and two headlining tours of the USA and Canada, one of which was the Metal Blade 25th Anniversary tour, and also several smaller tours throughout the world. We played with dozens of killer heavy bands along the way, and we'd like to say hello and thanks to all of them.

The tour covered many countries we've been to before: The United Kingdom, Ireland, Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece, Slovenia, The Czech Republic, Serbia, Hungary, Poland, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Switzerland, Austria, Mexico, Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, The United States, Canada, Russia, and Australia. We also went to a few countries for the first time on this tour: Bulgaria, Romania, Guatemala, Iceland, El Salvador, Ecuador, Peru, and New Zealand. We were only forced to miss one gig on the whole tour and that was the Venezuela show which was cancelled by the local government. Hopefully we'll be able to get down there in the future as we really want to play for all of the great fans there.

So, unless we've forgotten a country on this list (our apologies if we did), that's 41 countries that we performed in for the Kill tour. We'd like to give massive thanks to all of the fans in that came to these shows, you all helped make the Kill tour our best tour ever. THANK YOU!!!!"
