Une news pour Krabi

San Diego extreme metallers CATTLE DECAPITATION have set "Karma.Bloody.Karma." as the title of their new album, tentatively due in June/July via Metal Blade Records. The CD was produced by Billy Anderson (SWANS, MR. BUNGLE, SLEEP) and features guest appearances by Joey Karam (THE LOCUST) and John Wiese (SUNN0))), BASTARD NOISE).

Regarding the album title, the band said, "NO, there is not any religious significance of the title. NO, the name does not imply that we’re '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 we've ever done lyrically, and musically you can expect, what one of our friends has said perfectly about it, a very 'schizophrenic' release! Imagine the CANINUS split material, just longer in every way."

"Karma.Bloody.Karma." track listing:

01. Intro
02. Unintelligent Design
03. Success Is…(Hanging By the Neck)
04. One Thousand Times Decapitation
05. The Carcass Derrick
06. Total Gore
07. Bereavement
08. Suspended In Coprolite
09. Alone At The Landfill
10. Karma.Bloody.Karma.
11. The New Dawn
12. Of Human Pride & Flatulence



In other news, drummer Michael Laughlin has left CATTLE DECAPITATION for "personal reasons," according to a posting on the group' s web site. "Unfortunately, this leaves us in the predicament of trying to fulfill our upcoming tour obligations without a drummer," the band write. "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 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: http://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 on the CATTLE DECAPITATION front, the band have announced the addition of second guitarist Kevin "Fetus" Bernier (WATCH ME BURN, FETUS EATERS, DEADFOOD, Vomitcore Records) to the group's ranks. "He's been an amazing friend of ours since the beginning and we're very excited to start playing live with him," the band write. "We'll try our hardest to have him ready for the NECROPHAGIST tour!"

Le genre de groupe mésestimé qui s'est fait massacrer partout

Je suis assez curieux de ce que va donner le morceau avec John Wiese, vu que ce n'est pas du tout le même univers

Un nouvel album pour mars. Superbe groupe de power mélodique avec des refrains bien fédérateurs et des ballades bien romantiques.

Ca sortira chez Metal Blade records le 12 mai.

Au-delà du fait que ça joue sévère, Les parties chantées sont assez étonnantes, même si bourrées d'effets.

Merci pour ce moment de misanthropie.

Bienvenue à l'apocalypse.

Though many bands have tried, no one articulates the real apocalypse humanity is facing as vividly and succinctly as CATTLE DECAPITATION. With 2019’s Death Atlas, they reached the apex of this, perhaps leading some to believe they had no place left to go beyond such an achievement, but alas, they return with Terrasite, which is as bold a statement as they have ever made.

“After a record like Death Atlas, you have to make a turn,” notes 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.”

As such, Terrasite pushes their sound further into more epic and varied territory, and in the hands of vocalist Travis Ryan the governing concept takes a new and disturbing direction. “I wanted to do the 180° opposite of Death Atlas. I already had the concept idea from years back and since Death Atlas was so dark and brooding, I wanted a completely opposite effect - I wanted this to take place in the daylight. I’ve always found daytime horror to be really unsettling so I wanted to make sure what was going on on the cover took place in the light of day, which also finds its place within the lyrics.”

The title is a word invented by Ryan that brings together “Terra-“ meaning “earth” and “-site” derived from the Greek word “-sitos” which means “food.” “The combination of the two means ‘earth-eater.’ It’s a metaphor for humanity’s rôle in the destruction of the planet and is a play-on-words of the very fitting word ‘parasite.’”

This is vividly brought to life in the artwork by longtime collaborator Wes Benscoter (Vader, Kreator, Bloodbath, Hypocrisy). “We see the nymph stage of this human/cockroach hybrid that is more of a fully grown being that has just molted from its ootheca stage, startled, confused, frightened but also pissed off.

The band once again worked with producer Dave Otero (Cephalic Carnage, Allegaeon), who knows the members’ individual styles and how to coax the best out of them, bringing in Tony Parker of Midnight Odyssey to handle piano and synths.
