Who knows.

"Death metal/grindcore legends CARCASS have announced that they will reunite to perform at next years Wacken Open Air festival, which set to take place from July 31st to August 2nd in Wacken, Germany. Also scheduled to appear are IRON MAIDEN, CHILDREN OF BODOM, AVANTASIA, KREATOR, and SONATA ARCTICA. Bassist/vocalist Jeff Walker commented:
Well, they said it would never happen. In fact I said it would never happen. Then I noticed no one pays attention to what I say anyway and I sounded like an idiot
Summer 2008 will be the twentieth anniversary since the release of CARCASS first studio album. It will be fourteen years since we last played live. Weve decided to exhume the old corpse next Summer at Wacken. The timing is purely coincidental - its been a long journey to get to this point where myself, Bill Steer and Mike Amott have enough common desire again to make it possible. Were finally conceding to the demand that seems to be at an all time high and doesnt appear to be going away any time soon. Any past reasons we may have had for not wanting to do it, or thinking it was impossible, have simply dissipated in the face of overwhelming interest in us performing THOSE riffs for a generation of believers who never had the opportunity back in the day. We could say were doing it for the kids - but fuck that ! Were doing it cos it will be fun again to play the classic CARCASS tunes !! Of course it would seem inappropriate for us to contemplate to do this without Ken Owen, but I assure you hell be there, and well push some sticks in his hands and make him play, plus well have a killer drummer to sit in and play HIS parts.
Myself Jeff Walker on bass and vocals, the semi-legendary Bill Steer and Mike Amott on lead guitar and Daniel Erlandsson, filling in for Ken on drums, look forwards to mutilating your hearing.
And if we dont do it? Who else will overshadow the LED ZEPPELIN reunion?
Ha!
Prepare to rot and roll."
