Cattle Decapitation are the rare band that manages to improve with age; there's little-to-no pining for the first demo when your latest is as solid as 2015's The Anthropocene Extinction. It looks like the monolithic death metal band are insistent on keeping their tours on an upwards trajectory too as they promise to best their last outing with another trek.
The month-and-a-bit follow-up — appropriately named "The North American Extinction Tour Part II: Inhuman Beings" — features support from deadly thrashers Revocation, noisy grind bastards of death Full of Hell (whose Trumpeting Ecstasy scored a perfect score from us and earned them a spot on our Top 29 Albums of 2017 So Far) and dizzying dystopian tech death metallers Artificial Brain. Tijuana, Mexico's mad doctors of gore Thanatology will be replacing Full of Hell as support on the first three dates.
Basically it's a dream line-up for fans of extreme music, and the fact that Exclaim! Aggressive Tendencies is co-presenting the run with Metalsucks is an absolute honour.
The tour begins in the Californian headliners' home state, making its way up the western side of the USA before eventually hopping the border to hit Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Regina and Winnipeg. This ain't a one-coast beast, though, with the other half of the USA targeted for destruction, plus another trip to Canada for a Halloween show in Toronto, as well as one from Montreal.
