CATTLE DECAPITATION are set to drop their new record “Terrasite” on May 12 and are now streaming the new track “We Eat Our Young”
“After a record like Death Atlas, you have to make a turn,” says CATTLE DECAPITATION guitarist Josh Elmore. “Everything about that album – the concept, artwork, music, etc, was a final statement. The only way to move forward is rebirth. In approaching the newest record, it was not only necessary to keep the musical trajectory the band has been aiming towards since the beginning, but also to further explore the ambient/textural elements that were part of Death Atlas.”
“Terrasite” is dedicated to the memory of the late THE LOCUST and CATTLE DECAPITATION member Gabe Serbian and is available for pre-order at this location.
“We’ve all heard the old saying about how the cockroach is so pervasive… so insidious… so invasive… that they could ‘survive a nuclear war,'” says CATTLE DECAPITATION of the new album.
“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-like stage for something much more vicious to come… Humanity Part 2: The Terrasite.
“On the album’s cover we see the terrasite, aka ~Blattodea Humanis Immortalis~ aka ‘earth-eater,’ molting from its ootheca as others are beginning to awaken to their new lives. Having endured the tortuous existence of being a homosapien, they have now re-emerged into a new world… frightened… saddened… confused… PISSED. Re-birthed as a novel variant of human disease, now adapted to the hellish landscape their former lives helped create in order to continue to finish the utter ravaging of its home planet, Earth. As they say… ‘life finds a way.'”
