Honestly, I don’t really care about George Carlin being dead. He lived a fairly long time and had an awesome career. Everybody loved him. Let’s move on, shall we?
Well, that was easy, because MOTHERFUCKING Carcass is coming to the U.S.! Dear sweet Jeebus, it finally happened. Ever since Carcass’ reunion was announced, I’ve been obsessively checking the entire intarwebs to see if they were coming over here. Since I blew my overseas metal excursion budget last year on Hole in the Sky (which Carcass is playing this year), I couldn’t justify it this year, but it’s happening. They’re coming here. I feel like a kid waiting for Carcassmas or something.
They’re only confirmed as playing New York right now on Sept. 6th, but “more dates will be announced” according to Blabbermouth. This is just too cool for words.
As the almighty Beavis would say “Thank God! Heh hmm.”
For those of you who either don’t like metal, or who like metal but have lived under a planet-sized stone for the last 20 years, Carcass were one of the most influential and early contributors to the grindcore genre, and later became the very bestest melodic death metal band of all time END OF STORY.
