Cattle Decapitation - Announce & Detail Tenth Studio Album
Long-standing deathgrind formation from California, Cattle Decapitation, disclose details in connection with their new album announcement. Dubbed Terrasite, this will be the band's 10th studio album and unleashed upon the masses on May 12th, 2023 (Metal Blade Records). The 10-piece outing was produced by Dave Otero. Longtime collaborator Wes Benscoter took over the creation of the album's cover artwork.
Vocalist Travis Ryan: "We've all heard the old saying about how the cockroach is so pervasive... so invasive... so insidious... that they could survive a nuclear war... Our previous album, Death Atlas, left the world blackened and lifeless.. or so we thought. It turns out that the carbon-encrusted bodies that adorned the album's layout and music video (and that resemble the victims of Pompeii that were frozen in time by the Mt. Vesuvius disaster of 79 A.D.) were actually more of a cocoon stage for something much more vicious to come: Humanity 2.0.
"On the cover we see the terrasite, aka ‘earth-eater,’ molting from its ootheca. Having lived the tortuous existence of being a human, they have now re-emerged into a new world... saddened... confused... PISSED; rebirthed as a new variant of human disease, now adapted to continue and finish the utter ravaging of its home planet, Earth."

Freaky album cover, but I like the concept overall. Reminds me a bit of the Cronenberg movie Naked Lunch. Looking forward to this one!

Written by gavdann on 11.01.2023 at 13:59 I think they're a great asset to Cattle Decap, but I did feel like they were overused on Death Atlas, at least on some songs; used sparingly on Monolith Of Inhumanity and The Antropocene Extinction, they're a fascinating dynamic, but on Death Atlas, in the passages where they're used more liberally and sound a bit cleaner, I felt some of the limitations of Ryan as a singer started to become apparent. I can handle a similar amount of them as on the last record, but if they're even more prevalent, I suspect I'm going to find parts of this new one offputting if the delivery is the same
