California goregrind maniacs EXHUMED have been added to this year’s Summer Slaughter Festival lineup. While the festival’s full schedule and routing are still to be announced, the band are confirmed to share the stage with headliners CANNIBAL CORPSE as well as BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME, GOATWHORE and THE FACELESS.

Said vocalist/guitarist Matt Harvey of the latest edition to their relentless 2012 tour cycle: “The hits just keep on coming for us this year. We are fully chuffed to be a part of the illustrious Summer Slaughter package. It's going to be awesome to get done playing early so we can concentrate on our true passion -- drinking! This hulking monstrosity of a traveling freakshow should be a mandatory thing for all the boils and ghouls out there, so we'll see you on the seemingly never-ending campaign for musical - and just general - destruction that we've been waging all over the planet since last April. Cheers!”

Exhumed today kick off the 16-date Grind Over Europe Tour with ROTTEN SOUND and MAGRUDERGRIND. They’ll later join ANAAL NATHRAKH for a short run of UK dates before returning to the states for a handful of headlining shows and a near month-long trek with Cannibal Corpse. Joined by labelmates ABYSMAL DAWN and ARKAIK, the live rituals will commence on April 5 in Jacksonville, Florida and include an appearance at the The Cincinnati Metal Fest on April 14 as well as a special show on April 28 where the brutal caravan will merge with BEHEMOTH, WATAIN, THE DEVIL’S BLOOD and IN SOLITUDE.

Exhumed continue to sever souls with the 11-track All Guts, No Glory full-length, issued last year via Relapse Records.
