Releaseedit
On January 13, 2009, Supporting Caste was announced for release in two months' time; alongside this, the album's artwork and track listing were posted online.[8] In February 2009, the band embarked on a tour of Australia and New Zealand.[9][10] "Dear Coach's Corner" premiered on BBC Radio 1 on February 2, 2009.[11] The following week, listeners could receive "Supporting Caste" and "Human(e) Meat" if they donated to one of three charities that the band chose.[12] In March 2009, they embarked on a series of East Coast shows, which included a performance at the Harvest of Hope Fest. They were mainly supported by Paint It Black, with additional local acts on most shows.[13][14] In part to stop or impede the leaking of the album, the band set up a page with an option to receive two high-quality songs from the album before release by donating as little as $1 to one of three activist organizations supported by the band. This page also linked to various pre-orders of the album.[15] The artwork is by the Canadian artist Kent Monkman, entitled "The Triumph of Mischief".[16]Supporting Caste was posted on the band's Myspace on March 3, 2009, and was released on March 10, 2009.[17] The album was critically acclaimed and was voted by Punknews users as the best album of 2009.[18] In April 2009, they went on a short tour of the United Kingdom.[19] In May and June 2009, they toured the West Cast and Midwest with Bridge and Tunnel and Strike Anywhere.[20][21] In October 2009, they played a handful of Canadian shows with support from the Rebel Spell.[22] They closed out the year touring the UK alongside Strike Anywhere and Protest the Hero.[23]
On the CD, the final song ("Last Will & Testament") is followed by several minutes of silence, an excerpt from Black House (at 11:06) and a cover version of Black Widow's "Come to the Sabbat" (at 11:22). On the double LP, the two songs are separate tracks, sequenced normally.
