EXHUMED Announce February Live Attacks!

California gore lords EXHUMED will return to the road this February alongside grind behemoths Phobia! The short West Coast beat down will commence February 15 in Lancaster, California and conclude February 23 in San Francisco. Souls will be severed; dreams will die.

The latest stretch of dates follows EXHUMED’s maniacal run with Napalm Death and Municipal Waste at the end of the year which was met with a host of hurdles including being denied entry into Canada and vehicular failure that left them temporarily stranded in Alabama. 

Comments vocalist/guitarist Matt Harvey: “As happy as we were to get home for the holidays, we thought we should make time to hang out with our old friends in Phobia and grind through our home state of California. We had so much fun playing out-of-the-way places during the impromptu one-off dates we did during the Napalm Death/Municipal Waste tour, we thought we would hit some nooks and crannies back home that we haven't played in years. Plus, we'll get a chance to get a bunch of our buddies' bands on the bill like POOR, Gravehill, DIS and Mortuous. We've been itching to play some stuff from the new album live and we're working out a seriously revamped setlist for this one, so come on out California! Let's have a few beers, let it loose, and get weird!

Additionally, you can catch up on the band’s last round of roadside debauchery in their latest diary entry — Winter 2012 Tour Diarrhea Part IV: The Long And Grinding Road —at THIS LOCATION.

To go there with our friends in Cannibal is even cooler, and we are pumped to make sure this will be a Death Metal spectacle of epic proportions.

Following EXHUMED's appearance at the 2012 SUMMER SLAUGHTER tour in New York City, in which they performed a bunch of  NEW songs  from their latest album 'All Guts All Glory' (available now via Relapse Records), we had the chance to chat with EXHUMED's own Matt Harvey and Rob Babcock at Idle Hands Bar about the 2012 SUMMER SLAUGHTER tour, how playing early during the day allows them more time at the bar and they even talk about how Progressive Metal bands are too predictable!

Members Of EXHUMED Talk About "Summer Slaughter" & About How Progressive Metal Bands Are Too Predictable!

Recently, the tri-state area Headbangers joined forces at New York City's legendary venue Irving Plaza (formerly The Fillmore) for the 2012 Summer Slaughter Tour. This years event is co-headlined by the mighty CANNIBAL CORPSE and Progressive Metallers BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME. Two bands that have a very different sound, but that have managed to open the minds of each others fans by penetrating ear drums like very few bands out there. The 2012 SUMMER SLAUGHTER tour truly represents what the state of Heavy Music is today: many different types of fans coming together to jam out to their favorite bands while learning about new bands and tendencies.

"DEATH To All Tour" Hits California & Welcomes Matt Harvey From EXHUMED - Video Available!

EXHUMED frontman Matt Harvey has been added as a special guest lead vocalist to the all-star studded "Death To All Tour 2012". After a few show cancellations due to low ticket sales, this past Friday (June 22) the legacy of Chuck Schuldiner was remembered as Matt Harvey was joined  by drummers Gene Hoglan (Individual Thought Patterns/Symbolic) and Sean Reinert (Human), bassists Steve DiGiorgio (Human/Individual Thought Patterns) and Scott Clendenin (The Sound of Perseverance), guitarists Paul Masvidal (Human), Shannon Hamm (The Sound of Perseverance) and Bobby Koelble (Symbolic), and vocalist/label-mate Charles Elliott of Abysmal Dawn/Bereft, to celebrate DEATH! The event took place at the Regency Ballroom in San Francisco, California.

The following night (Saturday, June 23) the trek arrived at the House Of Blues in West Hollywood, California. This once in a lifetime tour, which features a majority of DEATH's amazing musicians, celebrates the life and music of Chuck Schuldiner, as well as raises awareness of Sweet Relief Musicians Fund — a charity that provides financial assistance to career musicians faced with illness, disability or age-related problems.

Matt Harvey from EXHUMED replaced Obscura vocalist Steffen Kummerer due to visa issues and had only 9 days to learn his entire set. Matt Harvey elaborates on the opportunity: “To say that I'm excited about hitting the stage with such amazing musicians would be a massive understatement. To say that I'm overwhelmed standing in Chuck's spot singing his songs would be the understatement of the century. Phrases like ‘it’s an honor’ get tossed around pretty casually, but taking part in this unique celebration is truly exhilarating, humbling and magical for me. Even though the name of the band is Death, this event is a celebration of Chuck's life and the vitality and staying power of his work. To be able to share what Death's music has meant to me this way is a truly once-in-a-lifetime opportunity I am incredibly grateful to have.”

Additionally, the concert organizers commented on Matt’s involvement: "The guys in the band, as well as the organizers and crew, want you to know Matt has been killing it! We are all very thankful for his efforts and talent, being able to pull this off on such short notice."

Death To All 2012 is presented by Sick Drummer Magazine/Grind Percussion LLC and Perseverance Holdings Ltd – In benefit of Sweet Relief (sweetrelief.org). This five-city tour will feature a majority of Death’s amazing musicians, as well as special guests. This tour is to celebrate the life and music of Chuck Schuldiner, as well as to raise awareness of Sweet Relief Musicians Fund – a charity that provides financial assistance to career musicians faced with illness, disability or age-related problems

Here is the list of remaining tour dates:

- June 26: House of Blues in Chicago, IL
- June 28: Irving Plaza in New York, NY
- June 30: The Beacham in Orlando, FL

Postponed tour dates:

Exhumed, Goatwhore & Havok = Triple ThreaT of meTal (Video Available)!

Last Wednesday (November 9th), three very dangerous bands took center stage at Club Europa in Brooklyn, NY and pummeled the audience with an extreme dose of Metal. We are talking about Exhumed, Goatwhore and Havok, of course. This tour package is definitely one of the hardest hitting North American tours in the Fall of 2012. Not only does each band possess a unique blend of ear piercing sounds, but the three bands offered a very cohesive night of razor sharp Metal for all those who dared to attend! While we were there, we conducted interviewed with members from each band, and came up with a real cool piece titled "Triple ThreaT of meTal!" that you should all watch after you read our exclusive show review!

The show at Club Europa was set on fire by Havok from Denver, Colorado. A band that has been making plenty of Thrashing noise ever since their inception in 2004. The energy that this band delivered while on stage to the headbangers of New York was lethal and they definitely brought joy to the audience thanks to their positive vibrating Metal. If you haven't checked Havok out, you must!

Next up, was the one and only Goatwhore. A band that ignites any venue up thanks to the crushing in your face Blackened Death Metal that's delivered with precision by Ben Falgoust and company. When this band steps on stage nobody is allowed to stand still, and if they do, they might be ran over by the members of the pit. There is no question that when Goatwhore comes to New York City, the most extreme Metalheads leave their basements to pay homage to one of the most crushing Heavy Metal bands today. If you missed them this time around, they will be returning in 2012 with Lock Up (click here for details)! They will also be releasing their fifth studio album on this upcoming Valentine's Day, how lovely!

Finalizing the night of neck crushing Metal was the mighty Exhumed. Ever since they surfaced in 1990, these guys have been constantly mixing the envelope of Metal with their unique flavors of Gore Metal. From the second they step on stage they are like a stick of dynamite that's ready to explode, and as a result the fans go absolutely ape shit. Their groundbreaking music is to blame for kids going home with a sore neck, a nice buzz, and definitely drenched with sweat, or maybe even some blood. Their NEW songs from "No Guts, No Glory" (available now via Relapse Records) are transmitted effortlessly live; even the faster technical parts sound pretty damn tight. If you haven't seen Exhumed live yet, do your ears and neck a favor by checking these extremists out!

Without further due, here is a video entitled "Triple ThreaT of meTal!", starring Exhumed, Goatwhore, and Havok! Watch and share!

11/18/2011 Korova/Goregrowler’s Ball – San Antonio, TX w/ Suffocation
