"People aren’t used to hearing vocal melody over a wall of ‘blackened progressive deathgrind’ or whatever the hell you call it." Cattle Decapitation might be playing arenas, but they're still one of metal's most extreme bands

Cattle Decaptiation Travis Ryan.

It's been over 20 years since Cattle Decapitation first shared their grotesque vision with the world. Yet the band have never wavered in their mission to push extreme metal boundaries and turn stomachs while they're at it, a combination of grotesque album art and brutal lyrics concerning topics including environmental devastation, genocide and animal cruelty ensuring they never fail to make a mark with each new release.   

Starting out in the realms of goregrind, the band have found space for technical death metal, prog and even black metal in their compositions over their eight album run, latest effort Terrasite earning accolades as one of the best metal albums of 2023.
