This is a big tour,Behemoth have spent the last 15 plus years getting bigger and bigger etc,i dont get the surprise at Carcass being down the bill.They may be one of the original DM/Grind originators etc.But they were split up/inactive for years,other bands were busy hoovering up new fans in that period.
Theres problaly a massive chunk of AE and Behemoth fans not remotely interested in Carcass.
Reading some of the comments on the Carcass FB page,people really have no idea how a tour works,just because you were big in 1991 doesnt mean you are now.
Go to the bar for the bands your not interested in,thats what i do anyway.
Have to agree.
Musical opinion is subjective, current touring popularity is very much objective. Behemoth and Arch Enemy are bigger draws right now.
Anyway, old stalwarts getting a look in further down the bill is a fine metal tradition. I'm sure Carcass will take it in their stride getting to play their shit in front of some new fans.
