Commented GOATWHORE bassist James Harvey:
"It has been a while since we toured with our friends in EXHUMED and CEPHALIC CARNAGE. We are looking forward to having some chaos injected nights of wicked Metal with them all."
He added, "Things are going great in the studio with Rutan. He's a master and definitely brings out the best in us!"
