Wow! I cannot begin to tell you how pumped I am for this tour. Earlier today it was announced that Cattle Decapitation is going out on a Fall headlining run, and bringing along Devourment, Knights of the Abyss, Burning The Masses, Son of Aurelius, Slaughterbox and Condemned. The BPMs and vocal gurgles will be off the charts on this tour. Am I right? Cattle Decap vocalist Travis Ryan had this to say about the tour:
"We've had this idea for a tour that was mostly comprised of California bands for quite a while now. I don't know, there was just something about the term 'California love' (popularized by Tupac Shakur) that never quite sat right with us so we came up with something a little more fitting, considering the level of brutality that California has always had under its belt. From the seedy sewers in the big cities to the 'Cowshwitz' communities of central CA to the inhospitable depravity of the dry desert, we decided it was time to show the rest of the US that CaliGOREnia is not just about hippies, silicone bodies and marijuana dispensaries (not that there's anything wrong with that, haha!)"
