TOURISM: “IN THE MINDS OF EVIL” NORTH AMERICAN TOUR 2014; CARCASS; DTA’S “SWAMP LEPER STOMP ’14”

Collected in this post you will find news of three U.S. or North American tours. News about the first two is still somewhat incomplete, and I’m a bit late reporting on the third one. All three are enticing.

“IN THE MINDS OF EVIL”

Last month news surfaced about a tour to be headlined by Deicide, named after their most recent album, In the Minds of Evil. Last night Inquisition posted an announcement on their Facebook page about the tour, which was interesting because when the tour was announced last month Marduk was named as one of the support bands, but now it appears that Marduk are out and Inquisition are in. In addition, Abysmal Dawn have been added to the line-up. Here’s the complete list of bands:

DEICIDE
SEPTICFLESH
INQUISITION
ABYSMAL DAWN
CARACH ANGREN

An updated official tour flyer hasn’t been released yet, so I decided to use a photo of an embryo of the short-tailed fruit bat (embryonic stage 19).

Inquisition also included an initial schedule of dates in their FB post, while noting that more dates will be added. Here’s the schedule so far:

10/07/14 Springfield, VA Empire
10/08/14 Hartford, CT Webster
10/09/14 New York, NY Gramercy Theatre
10/11/14 Rochester, NY Montage Music Hall
10/12/14 Columbus, OH Al Rosa Villa
10/13/14 Newport, KY Thompson House
10/14/14 Knoxville, TN The Concourse
10/15/14 Chicago, IL Reggie’s
10/16/14 Minneapolis, MN Mill City Nights
10/17/14 Kansas City, MO Riot Room
10/18/14 Oklahoma City, OK Chameleon Room
10/21/14 Seattle, WA Studio Seven
10/22/14 Portland, OR Tonic Lounge
10/23/14 Oakland, CA Metro Opera House
10/25/14 Ramona, CA Ramona Mainstage
10/26/14 Phoenix, AZ Joe’s Grotto
10/28/14 Dallas, TX Rail Club
10/29/14 Austin, TX Dirty Dog

This list doesn’t include any Canadian dates, but since the tour is billed as a “North American” escapade, perhaps they will be added.

UPDATE:  Here’s the flyer with the initial dates included:

 

 

 

 

CARCASS

Last night Carcass also posted an announcement on Facebook, as follows:

“Finally gonna announce a US tour tomorrow of the “C Markets”.  😉  Some killer bands are joining us…stay tuned…”

As to what qualifies as a “C Market”, your guess is as good as mine. I worry that Seattle will not be included, since Carcass were here not too long ago (a show I tragically missed).  Maybe they will come to North Bend, Washington, instead. For the pies. I’d make that drive.

UPDATE: All the details of this tour have now been announced. Along with Carcass, the tour will include Obituary, Macabre, Exhumed, and Noisem. And although the tour isn’t stopping at North Bend, Washington, it is indeed stopping at a number of cities that frequently get overlooked on tours of this magnitude. Here’s the poster, followed by a listing of the dates and places:
