CARCASS Delays Australian Onslaught Due to Family Matters

By Jason •
Extreme metal legends put fans on hold as drummer Dan Wilding faces a personal crisis.

In a heart-wrenching turn of events, British extreme metal titans CARCASS have announced the postponement of their much-anticipated 'Putrefying Down Under' tour alongside the ferocious BRUJERIA. This decision, rooted in a personal family situation involving drummer Dan Wilding, has left the metal community reeling, as the band prioritizes familial obligations over the stage.

On September 2, CARCASS took to social media to convey their sorrowful message: “We’re incredibly sorry to announce that we have decided to reschedule our upcoming Australia/New Zealand tour along with our China and India dates.” The band expressed deep empathy for Dan’s plight, emphasizing the necessity for family to take precedence during these difficult times.

As fans eagerly awaited the chance to witness CARCASS's unparalleled live prowess, the announcement has inevitably stirred a mix of disappointment and understanding within the ranks of the metal faithful. The band reassured audiences that their commitment to return is unwavering, stating, “We know how much people have been looking forward to these shows, and postponing them is not a decision we have taken lightly.”

For those in India, there’s a silver lining: Bangalore Open Air will proceed as planned, and CARCASS encourages fans to rally behind the other acts sharing the stage during this still-exciting festival. All tickets for the rescheduled shows will remain valid, ensuring that the metal experience will not be lost in the chaos of life’s unpredictability.

Mark your calendars for the newly set dates in 2027, where the haunting echoes of CARCASS will still ring true in venues across Australia and New Zealand. With an album that continues to resonate with their legacy, 'Torn Arteries' reminds us why CARCASS has remained a cornerstone in the death metal genre, pushing boundaries since the 1980s. Their artistry, as visceral as ever, deserves every ounce of patience and support from a community that understands the trials behind the grind.
