OBITUARY have unveiled the official routing of their first North American headlining tour in over three years. The Carnival Of Death Tour 2012 will kick off in Orlando, Florida and tear its way through 20 cities. Further sonic battery will come from reunited DM behemoths Broken Hope as well as Decrepit Birth, Jungle Rot and Encrust.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Fender will hosting a special contest throughout the duration of the tour. The Grand prize winner will receive a Blacktop Stratocaster HH guitar. Contest entries will be accepted at the OBITUARY merch table. Finally, since the tour will be passing through New York City on September 11th, the band saw it fit to remove the \u201cCarnival of Death\u201d tag for that date and, through an agreement with Live Nation, donate $2 from each ticket sale to a September 11th related charity.<\/p>\n

The Carnival of Death Tour marks OBITUARY\u2019s first full US\/Canadian tour run as a four-piece with legendary death metal alumnus Terry Butler (Death, Six Feet Under, Massacre, Denial Fiend) on bass. For this special journey, the band \u2014 vocalist John Tardy, drummer Donald Tardy, guitarist Trevor Peres and Butler \u2014 are working on compiling a special fan-generated set-list that will delve deep into their back catalog to include tunes predominantly off their renowned first three full-lengths: Slowly We Rot, Cause Of Death and The End Complete. To help the band map out their setlist, fans have been asked to drop by their official Facebook<\/a> and Twitter<\/a> pages with their song picks.<\/p>\n

Notes drummer Donald Tardy: \u201cI\u2019m looking forward to giving North American fans an opportunity to see OBITUARY live again. It has been way too long. With the addition of our brother Terry Butler, this now four-piece band is solid as a rock, tighter than ever and ready to throw down! I hope everyone comes out to see the Florida boys onstage. It\u2019s sure to be a good time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Adds Butler: \u201d This is my first full length tour of North America with OBITUARY and I\u2019m extremely excited, to say the least! Being part of OBITUARY and this tour is a great honor for me. Plus the special setlist will certainly crush!\u201d<\/p>\n
