CARCASS' JEFF WALKER Speaks To EQPTV At BLOODSTOCK OPEN AIR (Video)

August 15, 2014

Elliot Paisley of EQPTV conducted an interview with bassist/vocalist Jeff Walker of reactivated British extreme metal pioneers CARCASS at this year's edition of the Bloodstock Open Air festival, which was held August 7-10 at Catton Hall, Walton-On-Trent, West Midlands, United Kingdom. You can now watch the chat below.

CARCASS will return to the United States once again this October/November. Joining them on select dates are Florida death metal legends OBITUARY and the eclectic champions of "murder metal," MACABRE. Death grinders EXHUMED and newcomers NOISEM will open each night of churning insanity.

"We thought it would be cool to go off the beaten track a bit and play some places that usually get overlooked," commented Walker. "We figure some of the tumbleweeds needed blowing away. Pretty chuffed to have managed to get our pals OBITUARY to come along on these dates. As anyone who has seen them recently will testify, they're tearing it up live nowadays."
