Cattle Decapitation announce NOV/DEC TOUR plans and Kevin Talley as drummer!!!

Cattle Decapitation announces new tour…and drummer Kevin Talley steps in

Pulling themselves out of yet another awkwardly sticky situation with drummers, Cattle Decapitation recruits long time drumming guru Kevin Talley (ex-Dying Fetus, Misery Index, CHIMAIRA). Singer Travis Ryan shares his thoughts on the upcoming tour.

"We're very excited to not only finally do our own headlining tour, but also to get back out and deliver the tracks from our new "Karma.Bloody.Karma" album to the masses. The last thing we want to do right now is to stay home and not be out on the road! We're glad to have a seasoned guy like Kevin filling in. It will be a refreshing change to get someone in there that's as professional in his approach to touring as the rest of the guys in the band. See you soon!"

Not only will Kevin Talley be lending his talents to Cattle Decapitation, he will be pulling double duties each night and also fill in behind the throne for the Atlanta based DAATH, whom Talley recorded the drums for their Roadrunner Records debut due out in January of 2007. DAATH guitarist Eyal Levi comments:

"Playing with Kevin has always been a natural choice for us. He's been involved with the project for years now and not only is he one of the greatest metal drummers out there, but also one of our good friends. We're excited to have him in the band and we also extremely excited to be during our first proper US tour with the mighty Cattle Decapitation!"

The tour is a four week jaunt across North America officially kicking off in El Paso Texas, and ending in California in December. Meeting up with Cattle Decapitation and DAATH will be Southern Lord recording artists LAIR OF THE MINOTAUR, and Rotten Records recording artists DOG FASHION DISCO.

hahha yea right

yet another case of him joining a band that he's way too good for.

jeez. that came off harsh. haha. maybe he'll make them sound more interesting is probably a better way of putting it.

Kevin Talley is awesome. To combine him and a band like Cattle Decapitation is icing on the cake.

i played foosball against him in portland. he kicked my ass.

mess with the bull, get the horns

damn, I honestly never thought the cattle drummer was all that good. Cattle getting Kevin Talley will bring to the band what John Longstreth brought to Origin on the Informis cd.
