Joining forces for the 2014 edition of the co-headlining North American "Carnival Of Death" tour will be Canadian-based death metal powerhouse KATAKLYSM and native New York death metal veteransSUFFOCATION. Wisconsin's own JUNGLE ROT will be direct support; openers will be New York natives PYREXIA & INTERNAL BLEEDING.

With the first show set for October 3rd in New York City and ending one month later in Montreal, Quebec, the seasoned front men of both headlining bands check-in about the upcoming 28-show trek:

"It's been quite a while since a tour like this has been put together," states Maurizio Iacono of KATAKLYSM. "We've been talking to SUFFOCATION about joining forces for a co-headlining tour with killer death metal bands that came up through the '90s just like us. They were up to the task of giving the fans what they've been asking for. To top it off, we decided to make the whole package a true event and incorporate some old school death metal heavy-hitters like JUNGLE ROT, PYREXIA, and INTERNAL BLEEDING. What else can be said? Don't miss this colossal 'Carnival of Death' tour de force!"

"SUFFOCATION is unbelievably excited to be on the CARNIVAL OF DEATH tour this year!" exudes vocalist Frank Mullen. "This will be one to remember and the line-up is sick as shit! With the Canadian giants KATAKLYSM at the forefront and our brethren JUNGLE ROT bringing the heavy-ass tones to the tour, as well as our New York brothers PYREXIA and INTERNAL BLEEDING ' we will all decimate the stage!!! This CARNIVAL OF DEATH will leave lifeless flesh for all to witness!! We can't wait to get out there and mash it up! See you soon!!"
