No rest for the wicked. Since the release of their latest full-length, The Nothing That Is, Fit For An Autopsy has remained in constant motion. Today, the band marks the kickoff of their massive US tour alongside headliners Lamb Of God by unleashing a brand-new standalone single “The Wretch”.

Driven by relentless galloping riffs and punishing percussion, “The Wretch” features the band’s trademark earth-shattering breakdowns balanced by haunting, melodic layers in the chorus. It’s the definitive soundtrack for their return to the stage.

Fit For An Autopsy‘s Will Putney states: “True to our general nature, “The Wretch” is another relatively pessimistic and grim glimpse into our worldly outlook. In a time where nothing seems to be getting any better at home or abroad, we find there can always be a moment of comfort in the thought of burning it all down. We hope this song is that temporary oasis for you as well. Thank you for listening.”

Fit For An Autopsy has confirmed the following North American tour dates. The trek includes a major run supporting Lamb Of God, alongside Kublai Khan TX and Sanguisugabogg, as well as several headlining performances. For tickets, VIP packages, and full tour dates, visit here.

Fit For An Autopsy released their seventh studio album The Nothing That Is ( stream or purchase here) which featured the singles “Hostage”, “Savior Of None / Ashes Of All”, “Lower Purpose”, and “Red Horizon”.

Western Canada’s underground metal community will once again come together this summer as Decimate Metalfest returns to the Millet Agriplex Arena on June 26 and 27, 2026, in Millet, AB.

Overall, 28 performing acts will take the stage over the two days, including touring artists, Canadian metal bands, youth performers, a featured DJ and specialty entertainers.

Friday evening launches the festival with a powerful night of heavy music, including a performance by the “Fundraiser Band”, a rotating act selected from bands who participate in Decimate fundraising events throughout the year, highlighting the festival’s community-driven spirit.

Saturday expands into a full-day festival experience featuring bands, youth artists, live performers, and interactive entertainment. With top-notch production, high-quality sound, professional staging, and access to convenient local amenities in Millet, the festival ensures an unforgettable experience for fans and families.
