Cattle Decapition: NEW Album Update - Video Teaser Available

One year ago, Cattle Decapitation returned home from headlining 'The California Blood Tour' and decided to take the next year off, to begin writing the follow up to their critically-acclaimed 2009 release "The Harvest Floor".

Ever since then, the band has been holed up in the confines of their rehearsal studio in National City, California and are preparing to release a new slab of human-dissecting carnage for a Spring 2012 release via Metal Blade Records. The band will be recording in January/February in Denver, Colorado at Flatline Audio with producer/engineer Dave Otero (Cephalic Carnage, Catheter, Trivium) and will play a small handful of shows on the way out to Denver showcasing their new material.

Artist Wes Benscoter is again on board to deliver more breathtaking GOREgeousness to the album cover as he has done on our past 4 releases. We will be announcing the album title, cover image and concept in the next few months.

Here's what guitarist Josh Elmore has to say about the new material:

"As it comes down to the home stretch before recording, we have been focusing on getting the last two songs written as well as refining and tightening the tracks which are already completed. The overwhelming impression I get from this new batch of tunes is that they have benefited greatly from a more streamlined approach to composition and song structure. A lot of these songs are very "to-the-point" with just enough embellishment to keep them dynamic, whilst avoiding sinking into some bells-and-whistles mire. Lean and mean.

"There will be no forays in 8-string djentiness and none of us bought v-neck shirts or deck shoes to "modernize" our sound and look, respectively. Expect some riffy, ripping blackened death-grind with nods to our past work and tastes of what's to come. These songs are going to be a blast to play live and we are anxious to have these recorded and get on the road to play them for you."



The band will be playing a ton of new material as well as some old gems at the following shows on their way out to the recording destination:

- 1/4/2012: PHOENIX, AZ @ The Clubhouse
- 1/5/2012: ALBUQUERQUE, NM @ The Launchpad
- 1/6/2012: DENVER, CO @ The Marquis Theater
