Cattle Decapitation - New Tour Drummer
Cattle Decapitation announce a new headlining tour? and drummer Kevin Talley steps in
Pulling themselves out of yet another awkwardly sticky situation with drummers, Cattle Decapitation recruits long time drumming guru Kevin Talley (ex-Dying Fetus, Misery Index, Chimaira). Singer Travis Ryan shares his thoughts on the upcoming tour.
"We're very excited to not only finally do our own headlining tour, but also to get back out and deliver the tracks from our new "Karma.Bloody.Karma" album to the masses. The last thing we want to do right now is to stay home and not be out on the road! We're glad to have a seasoned guy like Kevin filling in. It will be a refreshing change to get someone in there that's as professional in his approach to touring as the rest of the guys in the band. See you soon!"
Not only will Kevin Talley be lending his talents to Cattle Decapitation, he will be pulling double duties each night and also fill in behind the throne for the Atlanta based DAATH, whom Talley recorded the drums for their Roadrunner Records debut due out in January of 2007. DAATH guitarist Eyal Levi comments:
"Playing with Kevin has always been a natural choice for us. He's been involved with the project for years now and not only is he one of the greatest metal drummers out there, but also one of our good friends. We're excited to have him in the band and we also extremely excited to be during our first proper US tour with the mighty Cattle Decapitation!"
The tour is a four week jaunt across North America officially kicking off in El Paso Texas, and ending in California in December. Meeting up with Cattle Decapitation and Daath will be Southern Lord recording artists Lair Of The Minotaur, and Rotten Records recording artists Dog Fashion Disco.

Cattle Decapitation - Drummer Search, New Album
The band posted the following message concerning their quest to find a new drummer:
"As of March, 2006 Michael Laughlin has left Cattle Decapitation for personal reasons. Unfortunately, this leaves us in the predicament of trying to fulfill our upcoming tour obligations without a drummer. Therefore we are asking drummers that would be interested in filling in for our upcoming tours with Necrophagist and From a Second Story Window (with the potential of becoming a permanent member)to submit a recording(audio or video)of themselves playing either the song "No Future" off of our split with Caninus and/or "Reduced to Paste" from Humanure. Let it be clear that we are not looking for creative interpretations of the songs. A calypso version of "Reduced to Paste" is not necessary. We would like for prospective drummers to be able to play hit for hit what is being performed on the above recordings. Either you have it or you don't.
Sloppy double-bass or slow blasting is not acceptable.
Our live set will be approximately 35 minutes a night for the aforementioned tours, so applicants should be prepared for a barrage of learning over the course of the next five weeks. Basically, we need a human drum machine. We plan to have 5-6 brand new unreleased songs in our set in addition to various selections from the split with Caninus, Humanure, To Serve Man and Human Jerky for a total of around 11 songs. We will provide able prospects with recordings of the unreleased songs upon reception of successfully rendered versions of No Future or Reduced to Paste. A link to No Future and Reduced To Paste can be found on our My Space site: www.myspace.com/cattledecapitation.
These tours start May 11th. You may reach us at humanjerky2000@yahoo.com or at our Myspace.com page with submissions."
Also the band revealed details of their upcoming album. The title of the album will be "Karma.Bloody.Karma", the band commented on it: "NO, there is not any religious significance of the title. NO, the name does not imply that were crazy vegans trying to push our lifestyle onto people (as a lot of gabbing internet idiots like to pigeonhole us as). It is simply about the greatest natural disaster of all time, humanity, and revenge for its effect on this planet. This will be the most nihilistic, pessimistic and hateful record weve ever done lyrically, and musically you can expect".
"Karma.Bloody.Karma" features guest appearances by Joey Karam(The Locust) and John Wiese(Sunn0))), Bastard Noise). It's produced by Billy Anderson(Swans, Mr. Bungle, Melvins). And it's expected to be out around June/July 2006.

Cattle Decapitation - european release date and tr
San Diego extreme metallers CATTLE DECAPITATION have set a June 14 European release date for their new album, "Humanure".
Recorded with producer Bill Metoyer (SLAYER, W.A.S.P., SIX FEET UNDER), "Humanure" marks the recording debut with the group of drummer Michael Laughlin. The band parted ways with drummer David Astor in May of 2003 due to his inability to live up to the obligations of touring and regular necessities of the band.
In other news, the cover artwork for "Humanure" has apparently caused some trouble in Germany, where Metal Blade's distributor SPV has refused to put the album into the stores. As a result, "Humanure" will be available in Germany via mailorder only.
"Humanure" track listing:
01. Scatology Domine (intro)
02. Humanure
03. Reduced To Paste
04. Bukkake Tsunami
05. Cloacula: The Anthropophagic Copromantik
06. Chummified
07. Applied Human Defragmentation
08. The Earthling
09. Polyps
10. Lips & Assholes
11. Men Before Swine (outro)
