San Diego grinders, Cattle Decapitation, kick off the new year with a Gimme Metal guest DJ special today, Tuesday, January 4 at 5 PM, EST / 2 PM, PST. Visit gimmemetal.com and join the band in the live chat.

The special Gimme Metal episode comes in advance of the band’s long-awaited US headlining tour. Set to commence January 18 in San Diego, California, The Death... At Last Tour runs through February 20 in Mesa, Arizona, and includes support from The Last Ten Seconds Of Life, Creeping Death, and Extinction A.D. Tickets are on sale now. Get them here.

Upon the announcement of the tour, Cattle Decapitation frontman Travis Ryan declared, "We are ecstatic to be able to finally announce a US tour after almost two years of inactivity in the States due to the pandemic! Our latest album and what we consider to be the bands finest hour in our entire 25 year history, Death Atlas, will finally get its due in the States. Before things shut down, we had nailed down what we felt was our best live set we had ever done and had played it in Australia, New Zealand and Japan but were cut off before we could bring it to the states after you all had fully digested it. Well, we're happy to say we'll be taking some time out of our busy writing schedule to do this album some justice LIVE starting this January. We'll be bringing along some bands whose names fit nicely in the aesthetic of Death Atlas including The Last Ten Seconds Of Life, Creeping Death and Extinction A.D.! We ALL deserve everything that's coming! Death... At Last!"
