Support on these dates will come from CROWBAR, GHOUL and NIGHT DEMON. Commented CARCASS frontman Jeff Walker: ""We're here on the presidential trail — 'Rock against Trump, rock against Clinton, rock against Sanders, rock against that annoying Texan dude (whatever his name is) and the other older guy who stuffs his face with pasta." The details are as follows: Jul. 17 - Lawrence, KS @ Granada Theater Jul. 19 - Denver, CO @ Bluebird Theater Jul. 20 - Salt Lake City, UT @ The Complex Jul. 22 - Sacramento, CA @ Ace of Spades Jul. 23 - Santa Ana, CA @ The Observatory Jul. 24 - West Hollywood, CA @ The Roxy Theatre Jul. 25 - Mesa, AZ @ Club Red Jul. 26 - El Paso, TX @ Tricky Falls Jul. 27 - Albuquerque, NM @ Sunshine Theater Jul. 29 - Memphis, TN @ New Daisy Theatre Jul. 30 - Louisville, KY @ Mercury Ballroom Jul. 31 - Columbus, OH @ Park Street Saloon Aug. 01 - Baltimore, MD @ Baltimore Soundstage Aug. 02 - Richmond, VA @ The Broadberry Aug. 03 - Philadelphia, PA @ Underground Arts Aug. 04 - New York, NY @ Gramercy Aug. 05 - New Haven, CT @ Toad's Place Tickets go on sale on Friday, April 22 at 10:00 a.m. local time. CARCASS is continuing to tour in support of its latest album, "Surgical Steel", which sold around 8,500 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 41 on The Billboard 200 chart. A special edition of "Surgical Steel" was released last October on CD and digitally and on vinyl in November via Nuclear Blast. The "Complete Edition" includes the whole album "Surgical Steel", along with the entire "Surgical Remission / Surplus Steel" EP. All the songs were recorded during the "Surgical Steel" sessions, which were helmed by producer Colin Richardson (NAPALM DEATH, BOLT THROWER, GOREFEST, CANNIBAL CORPSE, SINISTER, RODRIGO Y GABRIELA) and mixed/mastered by Andy Sneap (MEGADETH, ACCEPT, EXODUS, TESTAMENT).
