Album Notes & Community Reviews
With this release, Cattle Decapitation transcended their gore-grind roots to create a terrifyingly catchy and technical death metal record. Vocalist Travis Ryan creates inhuman sounds, alternating between guttural lows and melodic, goblin-like highs. The album is a ferocious critique of humanity's impact on the planet, delivered with surgical precision.
